Weiss hesitates with her hand at the door, not quite looking over her shoulder but not facing straight, either. "Thank you, Blake."It comes out quiet and staccato, yet clear as a bell. Twice now, she's swallowed her(already wounded) pride to show her gratitude, a rarity for her in any situationion, let alone such a trivial one. Not waiting around any longer, she pushes through and makes her way to the beds, where her other teammates were most likely to be bumming around in wait.
"Yo, Weiss! What's taking so long?" Yang practically pounces on her when she appears. "We're starving, man."
"Yeah! I mean we were kind of worried about you too because it's been a really long time so we sent Blake but I mean we're also kind of really hungry 'cause we haven't really had anything to eat since lunch besides a bag of chips we split that weren't even that good and that was like..." Ruby pauses her frantic explanation and counts on her fingers, gazing off towards the ceiling in thought.
"7 hours ago," the sisters finish in unison, Yang in more of a deadpan than Ruby's rapid chatter.
"I know you've been waiting! Im hungry too, alright? Blake's helping me finish up, so it won't be much longer. Actually, it should be done in about-" ah, crap, she remembers what time she started cooking the pasta, but did Blake keep track? If it hasn't been stirred yet, it's probably starting to stick to the pot and dangerously close to burning.
"In abooooout?" Yang prompts, arms crossed.
"In a few minutes! It's coming soon, so let me get back to it before it burns, okay?" Weiss turns away from them, fleeing before any more questions are asked.
"Wait, what are you even making? You never told us," Ruby lamented.
"Hope it's worth the wait," Yang mutters, after her, purposely loud. She's usually not confrontational with any of her teammates, but damn it, she's hungry. Weiss can only hope that she isn't too pissed about waiting hours to end up eating boxed mac and cheese. Maybe Ruby'll be okay with it, at least. Hunger doesn't make her as grouchy.
Weiss reenters the kitchen without knocking. "Hey. Have you checked on that yet?" She nods to the pot and walks towards it, hoping for a yes.
