Ironwood: Actually, I've already informed them. As this is now the site of a classified military operation, it didn't even require a vote.

Jacques: Didn't require a vote?

Ironwood: You might want to brush up on Council law before you lose this upcoming election, Jacques. Now. I've allowed you to land here once as a courtesy. The next time, it won't be a friendly reception.

Jacques glared at Ironwood.

Jacques: Lately, you seem to forget who your friends really are. I'm going to get that Council seat, James, and maybe then, you'll--

Jacques became distracted, his eyes widening when he realized Weiss was present. They stared at each other for a moment.

Jacques: You...

He walked past Ironwood, glancing at him as he did so.

Jacques: You roped my missing daughter into these schemes of yours, too?

He turned back around to look at Ironwood.

Jacques: How long has she been back in Atlas? Did Winter know about this?

Weiss became annoyed and stepped forward to Jacques.

Weiss: It was my decision to come here. Just like it was my decision to leave. Or have you forgotten all about that?

Jacques: If you think I'm one to forget anything, girl, then you've misjudged the man your father is.

Weiss: Believe me, I know exactly the kind of man you are.

Jacques: How dare you speak to me that way? I have half a mind to--

Ironwood: Half a mind to what, Jacques?

Jacques narrowed his eyes, then adjusted his cuff link, sighing angrily.

Jacques: You know... your mother was devastated when you left.

Weiss began to look upset.

Jacques: Didn't leave her room for days. You know how... she gets... when she's upset.

Jacques acted sad while he spoke, taking a moment to peek at Weiss' reaction. Her eyes glimmered with sadness, and she looked down, frowning. Ruby looked upset, and Blake and Yang glared at Jacques, Blake glaring far more intensely than Yang. Jacques smirked as he turned to face Ironwood again.

Jacques: I knew one day, you would overextend your reach. I didn't come here to beg for an abandoned mine. I came here to thank you...

Weiss looked around, noticing that her teammates had come to her side. Blake held her hand and gave a comforting nod.

Jacques: For personally handing me the noose to hang you.

Blake and Yang glared at Jacques, while Ruby looked at Weiss with a smile.

Jacques: You'll regret this.

Jacques turned to look back at Weiss.

Jacques: So these are the little friends you threw everything away for?

Weiss: Not friends.

Ruby looked at Weiss, frowning a little, and Weiss looked at Jacques.

Weiss: Family.

Ruby smiled wide, and Yang smirked.

Jacques: Hmm...

Jacques turned to leave to his airship, when you decided to have a bit of fun.

(Y/N): Hey, Jacques!

He sharply turned around, looking at you for a moment.

Jacques: What is it that you want now?
