Ciel: Excuse me... Are you... You're on Jaune Arc's team, correct?
Nora: Huh...?
----------
Ciel: This is me before Atlas.
Nora: ...WHAT?! But you, uh, you look so... I mean, you look less... I mean-
Ciel: I used to be fat, I know. However, after Bulwark Academy, I became overwhelmed with nerves that I started working myself until I was practically skin and bones... and then after my first year, I put on muscle and... here I am.
Nora: Okay, but where does Jaune play into this?
Ciel: Well... (Zooms out photo)
Nora: HUH?! JAUNE?! Was he your classmate, or-
Ciel: We were visiting his village for a field trip. He was very kind then, and I asked for a photo with him. However, since I was going to Atlas after, I knew asking for anything more would be asking for too much. But now that I'm less of what I was, I thought...
Nora: Wait! Ciel... does that mean... IT'S LIKE THAT?
Ciel: YES. IT'S LIKE THAT.
Nora: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... (Opens scroll, Taps) ...Hey, Ren. It's me. Listen, I need you over here now. Yes now. Right now, yes. Yes, now. (Click~!) Ren'll be here once he gets the message. He knows more about Jaune than I do.
Ciel: ...Nora, if you don't mind me asking, but are you and Jaune-
Nora: NOT EVEN IF HUMANITY AND GRIMMED BONED. (Twitches)
Nora: (Thinking) That's weird. Why'd my heart skip a beat?
----------
Ren: I'm here, Nora. What's this about?
Nora: Ren, does Jaune have a girlfriend?
Ren: Huh?
Nora: You see, this girl is... (Explains)
Ren: Wait, you mean... IT'S LIKE THAT?
Nora: YES. IT'S LIKE THAT.
Ren: (Sits down by Nora) As far as I can tell, Jaune doesn't have a girlfriend. When he was told about leaving to a new station, he seemed especially excited, and he's got some magazines on his dresser that no one with a girlfriend would leave out in the open like that.
Ciel: Could you also speculate what kind of girl he likes?
Ren: ...I remember him mentioning something about like girls with big butts.
Nora: !!!
Ciel: !!!
Nora: Calling him now~!
Ciel: Wait, now NOW?!
Nora: You're okay with that, right~?!
Ciel: I mean, yes, but-
Nora: (Taps scroll)
Nora: Hey. Nora: (Insert location) Nora: HERE. Jaune: ? Why? Nora: HERE. Jaune: Ok
Ciel: Don't you think that was... terse?
Nora: I don't know the meaning of the word~!
Ren: It means-
Nora: I don't know. The meaning. Of the word.
Jaune: What's up, Nora?
Nora: Whoa! So fast!
Nora: Wait! I didn't tell him about Nora yet! Crap! Ciel has changed so much, I bet Jaune would act like a total dope and not remember her! That'd be so like him!
Nora: JAUNE! Hey, uh, this is-
Jaune: Hm? Oh, hey, Ciel~! Nice seeing you again! How you been?
Ciel: !!!
Ren: (10/10)
Nora: (10/10)
----------
"Say, Jaune... What kinda girls you like in our class~?"
Jaune: In your class? Hm... I guess I can't really choose...
"C'mon, man! You gotta pick one~!"
Jaune: Well, if I have to pick one girl out of your class I like, then... I guess I'd say Ciel. The one with the beret?
Ciel: (Behind a corner, Blushing)
"Huh? Dude, she's a total fattie."
Ciel: (Turns away, Grits teeth)
Jaune: ...So? It's not a girl's size that matters, it's how she presents herself, and seeing Ciel eat and write and talk, she's really elegant.
Ciel: (Walking away quickly, Red-faced)
Jaune: I've seen how you guys eat fish and it's crazy hard to try!
"I thought you liked girls with big butts?"
Jaune: Yeah, but there's more to a girl than just her butt!
----------
Ciel: (Thinking) Growing up, I was always warned that girls gain weight faster than boys. But that didn't matter much to me since I was always fat. I wouldn't like someone who didn't like me, and hearing Jaune say something nice about me that I didn't even know about... I hated boys for a long time because of how they treated me, and I even swore off of them. But something about Jaune is different... But aren't I just doing the same thing others were doing to me? The thing I hated most of all?
Jaune: See ya around, Ciel~!
Ciel: (Waves, Leaves)
Jaune: (Messages to Ciel, Smiles) That was nice... You guys wanna catch a movie?
Nora: I learned something today. About myself.
Ren: Oh?
Nora: Yeah. I learned that I REALLY hate the idea of Jaune getting a girlfriend before I get a boyfriend! That's why my heart skipped a beat earlier!
Ren: Ah. So that's it, huh?
