[Elphelt was trying to be polite and let Weiss get the first bite! But she accepts it with excited wiggles in her seat. It tastes good!]
--I-I didn't mean to suggest you can't just because you're a pretty princess. But...well, us girls have to stick together, right? Just know you don't need to deal with anything all on your own. That's all.
I suppose you have a point. Then, if you ever have any problems, you can come to me, too.
[ It's only fair! Finally, she takes a sip of her coffee. It's not bad— a little sweet, but still decent. She nods before taking another sip, deciding that she likes the taste. ]
Yeah! Girl power! We can handle anything this place throws at us if we work together.
[If only she had half a clue what 'work together to survive' entails in this world. Maybe then she would think Weiss is better off getting help from literally anyone else.]
I bet a classy girl like you has an eye for fashion, right? The first thing I could use help on is picking out clothes once I've got the cash. No way I'm living with only one outfit!
You do have some chips on your watch. You can get some at the stores. And there are vouchers, too.
[ So she can get more outfits!! Though... it might be better to buy more clothes later on. What if they wake up tomorrow and they're at home already? Then they'd just be wasting resources now! ]
If anyone knows not to splurge too fast, it's a starving artist. [Said as if she doesn't totally get an allowance straight out of the kingdom's coffers.] Besides...you don't think we've got enough to get all the outfits we could want, right? This might be a good excuse as any to try out new styles!
[She is already thinking of a rock 'n' roll makeover for Weiss. It'll be a fabulous girl's day out!]
Plus, it'd be totally more fun to do it together. We could even get matching outfits and be twinsies.
[ Elphelt, you are asking too much of her. Weiss isn't completely rejecting the idea, at least. This time, she takes a bite of the cheesecake for herself, taking a moment to savour how it tastes.
Cheesecakes? More like heaven on earth. ]
I could definitely help you out in looking for outfits, though. But I can't promise it'll be... [ A pause. She is trying her best to think of a word that wouldn't be too offensive for "rock n' roll". ] daring or rough around the edges. I could try, though.
[ Weiss is gonna dress Elphelt up like Blake and Yang's lovechild. ]
[But...they would have been hot! Together! An unstoppable force of feminine power!]
What about you? I think you'd look pretty good in a more, uh, daring and rough around the edges look. Leather, straps, a few spikes here and there. A real 'bad girl' makeover for a day.
[ Bad girls would not care! Weiss would be threatened or even challenged right about now! ]
You do nail the fashion, though. [ She looks Elphelt up and down for a bit as she thinks. What can she suggest to make her more "bad"? ] Hm, have you ever tried black coffee?
[She may not have tried it herself, but her body recoils at the thought, a reaction rooted in a deeply embedded genetic memory inherited from her original. Black coffee is icky!]
[..........The things rockers do to impress babes.
Without a word, Elphelt gets up to head to the counter and orders the most bitter, blackest coffee--loud enough so a certain someone can hear. Large cup of bitter blackness in hand, she returns to her seat.
Still saying nothing, Elphelt chugs. It is awful and bitter, but she powers through! Her intense gaze stays locked on Weiss's eyes the entire process. Once the coffee is gone, she lets out a deep, gravelly death growl.]
YEEEAH! BITTER BLACKNESS DEEPER THAN DEATH ITSELF!
[She smashes the cup against her forehead, turning it into a little paper disc, which she drops in front of Weiss. Her tongue lolls out of her mouth as she throws up the horns with both hands.]
[ On one hand? That was really embarrassing. She even gets up her seat to tell Elphelt that she doesn't need to order!! But the order gets fulfilled pretty quickly, and she's left to sit back down and watch the whole thing.
... that was not "cool" by any means, but that was still pretty intense. ]
You know what? You can just forget what I said earlier.
[ Said a little weakly. She has Regrets. ]
Please don't let me tell you what you should and shouldn't drink.

[ White leather, maybe, but nothing dark. ]
Not to mention, it kind of feels weird to be a "bad girl".
no subject
[She's the baddest girl around!!! As bad as a cupcake. As bad as a marshmallow!!! As bad as a newborn duckling.]
Even if it's a one time thing, trying new things is what makes us grow as people. It'll be fun, I promise.

[ Sorry. She's just being honest! ]

[She points to her leather jacket!]
Spikes! Gloves!

Skull! See? Skulls are bad.
[She points to the skull insignia on the sleeve of her jacket.]
I'm a rock star! Being a baddie is my whole deal.

Heh, heh, yeah, that was pretty metal, huh? Glad we got that settled.

Please don't speak when your mouth is full.
[ She certainly thinks that not even bad girls and boys do that! (Okay, that might not be entirely accurate...) ]
People do like it, though. I tend to drink my coffee with some milk and cream at times, or mixed with other things, but black coffee is also good.
