[ Emerald didn't get close to a lot of people. Not because she didn't talk to others, but there was a lot to be said about trust issues when even some people on your side called you a street rat. Trust wasn't something that came easily, nor was it something she expected people to have of her. She was, after all, a very skilled thief. There were very few people she trusted, and even fewer who trusted her.

This made having relationships difficult, but knowing people as she had come to, she wasn't too upset about that. But most humans have urges of some kind. Urges that needed to be taken care of, and very luckily there was someone she trusted not to get too invested in it. Her partner. Someone she cared about, but not enough that there would be any complications on her part, and she knew he was the least likely person to make things complicated. They both had urges to take care of, and as attractive as Mercury was, Emerald was fairly certain that she was one of his only options considering what tended to happen when he opened his mouth. Even she got annoyed with him from time to time and she liked him.

Emerald kicked closed and locked the door to their temporary dormitory-esque residence, looking over at Mercury. Cinder had just left and as much as she did respect and admire Cinder, living in a three-way situation was.. difficult. From behind her back, she pulled out what looked like a handful of cords and sauntered over to him. ]

Cinder's out for the next three hours and I promise not to take your wallet this time.

[ They'd come a long way, honestly. Only a few months ago, Weiss wouldn't have even considered being somewhere alone with Jaune on purpose and now? Now she was waiting in a hotel room after having texted him nothing but an address and "Give your name to the front desk" and didn't.. exactly tell him what was going on. Mostly because Jaune's ability to hide his emotions was somewhere around his least improved skill of all time, especially when it came to Weiss.

So honestly, he probably wouldn't figure out what was going on until he got to the actual address and saw it was a hotel since Weiss honestly doubted that he knew the addresses of all the hotels in Vale. She'd taken care to tell her teammates and the school that she and Jaune would be taking care of something in relation to Schnee Company that she absolutely made up, but putting the room under the name of one of the executives in the company helped make it seem more legitimate. She didn't think Professor Ozpin bought it 100% but he gave that kind of weird smirk like he wasn't going to stop them so she wasn't too worried.

That said, everything was most certainly taken care of and Weiss was sitting in a hotel room with her hair down and a bathrobe on while she waited for Jaune to get there. Weiss had all but banned him from being in charge of anything remotely romantic (considering his.. attempts to sing and other disastrous attempts), but her own style was decidedly more subtle. She'd put some rose petals on the floor of the hotel room and was sitting on the bed with a book. Granted, it was their homework reading that was due on Monday but if they were going to be staying in a hotel room, she was losing a night of studying while she was sitting here waiting for Jaune and listening to the radio on low.

Jaune was probably going to be panicking on his way up there and spending a lot of extra time trying to give himself a pep talk anyway, so she figured she had a little time to get some studying in and it was definitely distracting her from being nervous. (Which she very honestly was.) ]
