[Yang gives a knowing little, half smile. Blake is clearly keeping Yang's feelings on the matter in mind, and she appreciates that. She can also understand why Blake feels differently on the matter, and she can respect that, too. In the end, they are partners though, and that's a commitment that Yang takes seriously.]

No, it's okay. I may not be overly fond of the idea, but I'm willing to be there with you to hear things out.

Just, do me a favor?

[fedupwithyourbull]

[And that's all it takes to get the bow to stand back up to attention.]

Of course. Anything.

[onlyburnhotter]

[Yang takes a deep breath, and lets it out before continuing. When she speaks, she still sounds serious, like before, but now there's a slight hint of something akin to pleading.]

Promise me that, no matter what we hear, we won't take it as a final answer. Just because Penny or Pyrrha say it will happen, doesn't it mean it has to. We can always change things. Okay?

[fedupwithyourbull]

I understand. We'll get that information so we can change things. We can help whatever's causing them such a problem.

[Yang smiles, hearing Blake agree was all that she needed to feel better about this whole thing. She looks visibly more relieved, nodding her head in response.]

Yeah.

[After a slight pause, Yang adds:]

Thanks, Blake.

[fedupwithyourbull]

Of course. Besides, I should be the one thanking you.

[this is going to suck, but she'll be a lot more okay with it with her partner there.

Until she updates, anyway.]

[onlyburnhotter]

Huh? Why's that?

[fedupwithyourbull]

For agreeing to go, even if you know you won't like what you hear.

[onlyburnhotter]

[Yang's expression and tone turn more reassuring.]

Hey, what are partners for, right?

[fedupwithyourbull]

[Well, her last partner would have never done something like this with her, but... That's not something she particularly wants to talk about, or Yang will ever want to hear. Besides, it's not like Adam will ever be relevant to Yang, anyway.]

Of course. You're right.
