[ Good question! But it's pretty early, so... ]

If you haven't had breakfast yet, would you like to meet? It'll be my treat.

I've just began my morning routine... but I'd be happy to share breakfast with you! Nothing starts off a day more than a good meal in the morning!

If you have a favorite cafe or restaurant, we can go there! But I insist to pay for us! [He has a lot of saved up funds... not to mention he wants to do something nice for his friend!!]

I'll see you at this place. It's called Steam Funks because it's a cozy music cafe. There are performers everyday.

[ She projects a map of the marketplace. There's a small alleyway with a hidden cafe, apparently. It's a hipster cafe but they have the best crepes! ]

You're free to pay for us if you get the bill first.

[He honestly hasn't been to a music cafe before, but it sounds nice enough!]

Understood! I'll see you there!

[He'll be there either early or on time, depending how close he is to the cafe in comparison to Weiss. Also, he'll still be wearing his school uniform... one day he'll make a change to that.]

[ Weiss heads right over to the cafe as soon as Ishimaru confirms, and she already saves a seat for them. There's a performer on stage despite it being early in the morning, singing some songs that may be similar to bossa nova on earth. Truly calming music!

Once she sees him, she waves to him without calling his name. She doesn't want to attract too much attention to them, after all. Then, when he's nearby: ]

I'm so sorry to call you so suddenly. It's just that I have something important to tell you.

[He definitely appreciates this sort of music. Perhaps he should go to these sort of cafes more often! Of course, he's not really one to eat out a lot, but every so often, Ishimaru makes an exception...

Nonetheless, he walks over to Weiss when she waves him over. He takes a seat across from her and instantly starts to push her concerns away.]

That's fine, Ms. Schnee! If it's something important, I'd like to hear it in person! So, what is it that you wish to tell me?

Before I tell you, you have to promise not to scream.

[ Because she knows how loud he can be... ]

I-I promise??

[He's slightly taken aback, but he'll promise her! It must be something big...]

[ Her voice is hushed the next time she speaks. It's only the two of them who can hear what she's saying. ]

When I died... Jaune's Semblance activated. A Semblance, where I'm from, is a special and unique ability one has. Jaune's is to amplify someone's Aura.

And... well, [ She gives Ishimaru a soft smile. ] I came back to life because of his power.

[Ishimaru definitely doesn't understand everything about this. Aura and Semblance... both are concepts that he doesn't deal with at all. And usually, in an effort to understand the situation better, he'd start asking questions.

But he doesn't. Not this time.

Because the only thing that really matters are the words 'I came back to life.']

W-Weiss...

[She isn't going to stay dead. She's alive. A friend that he deeply cares about isn't going to return to death when she goes home. She's still going to have a future to work towards.

Probably unsurprisingly, tears well up in his eyes, but he looks so relieved. A large warmth starts to surround the area and even though he's crying, there's a large smile on his face.]

I-I'm so glad...

Right?

[ Weiss is honestly really glad, too. And she's even more glad to be able to share good news with Ishimaru. She's calmed down since she found out; when she told Zero, glitter was practically dripping off her every footstep and with every movement out of sheer happiness. ]

That's why we're celebrating.

[Whenever he sees Jaune again, he must remember to thank him with every fiber of his being...!]

L-let us celebrate! [Even Ishimaru is willing to say 'let's forget about studying for now' in order to celebrate this incredibly wonderful news. He rubs his eyes with his sleeve, but that broad smile still hasn't disappeared from him.]

Let's start by ordering everything you like!!

[That's how people celebrate, right? If they had the money and time... HE'S NOT ENTIRELY SURE]

Everything?!

[ Weiss almost pulls the table cloth her way, which would make the salt and pepper shakers fly in the air, etc. ]

No, just breakfast is fine, I promise! And -- I'm glad I was able to tell you, finally. I wanted to tell you since I found out last night.

Understood! Everything on the breakfast menu that you like!

[If there's too much food, she can... give it to her friends? Maybe find a way to store it...]

Thank you for telling me... I imagine that you were overjoyed to hear the news yourself! K-knowing that you didn't actually die and that you can spend more days together with your friends!

[ no oh my god that is not what she meant! ]

I was, I— I really was! I even kissed Yang and—

[ Oh, oops! Her eyes widen, realising she spoke too much, and she covers her mouth immediately. ]

[Ishimaru hasn't met Yang before, so his first assumption--]

Yang...? Is that your boyfriend?

Girlfriend, actually. But we're casual.

[ There's no shame in admitting it, she thinks! ]

Sort of, anyway.

[He looks surprised for a few seconds, but accepts it rather quickly. What's most important is Weiss being happy here!!]

Oh, I apologize! Your casual girlfriend then!

[His voice is probably a little Loud there.]

Kissing her upon hearing about your survival is completely appropriate! Even if a small amount of PDA was involved... I believe it can be overlooked this time!!

[ Oh my god. There aren't that many people (probably just the waiters and other staff so it's fine), but Weiss' eyes still widen. ]

W- What? [ She laughs a little in disbelief. ] It wasn't PDA. It was in our house.

In that case, it's fully appropriate! I don't need to hear the details of your display of affection, but I'm in full support here!

[Leave it to Ishimaru to make any conversation awkward in some manner.]

[ Weiss laughs a little, wanting to inquire about something now. ]

Have you ever liked someone before?

Huh?!

[This is probably the first time someone has asked this question to him. So, of course he misinterprets it.]

I like a lot of people! I like you and Naegi-kun and Asahina-kun and all of the friends I've made here!

I mean romantically, silly.

[ Ishimaru, please. . . this guy has to stop misinterpreting things??? ]

Oh!

[Ishimaru seems a little embarrassed for giving a completely wrong answer, but now he knows for next time! Wow, this meeting has not only been joyous, but educational!

Nonetheless, he should actually answer the question...]

Erm, no... I haven't had romantic feelings for someone before. Not that I know of at least! I've been devoting most of my time to studying, so thoughts of dating another person never crossed my mind!

You don't have to look so awkward about it. There's nothing wrong with that, and studying is a good priority.

[ She gives him a reassuring smile. ]

Anyway, let's finally order and eat.
