StableMaster!Yang: Come on, Ruby. You'll be fine.
Ruby: (wearing full armor and on a horse) Yang, are you out of your mind?! This is how people get killed!
Yang: Pfft! Please! This is nothing! I joust all the time!
Ruby: You're also a beast in your own right!!! YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE JOUSTING!!! You're not a knight!!!
Yang: Technicalities. You're literally going up against a newbie squire, Rubes. You can knock him off his horse easy.
Ruby: (ignoring Yang) When I said I wanted to be a knight, I didn't mean I wanted to joust!
Yang: Ugh! Fine! Do what you want. I have to get on my horse and get ready for my run. Good luck, sis! (smacks Crescent's flank and the horse gallops to the jousting arena)
Ruby: Whoa! Whoa! Yang! How could you?!
Yang: (trots over to where Ember is waiting patiently and adjusts her chest piece) Ready to go, big guy?
Princess!Blake: And what do you think you're doing?
Yang: I'm gonna joust.
Blake: No, you are most definitely not.
Yang: Yes, I most definitely am. I've been doing this for years, Blake. I can handle a new challenger.
Blake: Not when it's a knight that's been trying for my hand for over five years, Yang!
Yang: (pauses) ......Say again?
Blake: (looks to the side) Your opponent is Adam Taurus. He's one of the newly anointed knights in Sienna's platoon. Sienna finally ran out of excuses to not promote him. He's...very adamant about marrying me...to the point where suitors have gone missing as soon as he gets wind.
Yang: (holds Blake's hands) Blake, I'll be fine. I promise. (kisses Blake's fingers before mounting Ember) And when I get back, I have a surprise for you! (trots towards the jousting arena)
Blake: (bites her lip) Please, be safe.
