Lol, and Weiss doesn't get that he got the flower, and thought of her, and then said it to her face without having impure motives. That's what moved her, and she hadn't gotten before.
Its not just the flower.
Which makes sense from an outside perspective but probably not from how Weiss was raised
 
Crack idea: Typical Jaune gets betrayed and expelled from Beacon, blah blah blah, only Salem is genre savvy.

Salem: "Behold, Ozma: my secret weapon! An earnest knight with no edgelord backstory or super-special eyes, armed with only the efforts of his blood, sweat, and tears!"
Ozpin: "Fuck me, we're dead."

The Arc Clan: Plain, Simple Garak (Rough) New
The door knocks. A CAMPUS COURIER hands COCO ADEL a small, perfectly wrapped box.

COCO(reading label, eyebrow raised)"For Miss Schnee. Courtesy of Madam Adel's personal tailor. –G."(opens it, whistles) Garak doesn't do gifts. He charges extra for air.

Inside: a dove-gray cashmere scarf with subtle silver threading. A card.

WEISS(taking scarf reverently) This is… exquisite.

COCO He's in town for the week. Mom booked him solid, but he always squeezes in "special projects."

BLAKE Who's Garak?

COCO Best tailor on Remnant. Intense. Like he knows exactly where to stick the pins.

WEISS Then why did he send it to me?

CUT TO:

EXT. BEACON COURTYARD – NEXT MORNING

Team JNPR drills. NORA turns footwork into a dance party. PYRRHA diplomatic, REN meditating through chaos. And RWBY is watching their turn.

A shadow falls across the mats.

GARAK (O.S.)(calm, cultured) Excuse me. Might I borrow Mr. Arc for a moment?

GARAK: middle-aged grey lizard Faunus, dark hair, tailored tunic in muted greens and browns. Smile warm, eyes unreadable.

JAUNE(stomach drops) Garak!

GARAK(spreads arms)Jaune, my dear boy! All grown up and swinging a sword like you were born to it. I'm almost proud.

JAUNE Ah, well... Um... Y-Yeah

Teams RWBY and JNPR freeze.

WEISS(marching forward, scarf around neck)You. You're the one who sent the scarf. Why?

GARAK Why not? The Schnee Heiress wearing one of my scarves? Who wouldn't want such an opportunity?

PYRRHA How do you know him?

GARAK Old family friends.

JAUNE And... Well, he did help me get into Beacon...

RUBY Forging your transcripts?

Dead silence.

GARAK(innocent confusion) Forgive me, I believe I'd remember committing a crime of that magnitude.

JAUNE(muttering)You said it was "a simple matter of creative documentation."

GARAK(eyes sparkling) Did I? How shocking. I'm merely a tailor. Plain, simple Garak. I stitch hems and mend seams.

NORA(gasps)You're the mystery man who got Jaune-Jaune into Beacon?!

GARAK Allegedly. And only if one believes transcripts measure a Huntsman. Narrow-minded, don't you think?

WEISS You could have ruined his life.

GARAK Or I recognized potential where others saw paperwork. Reckless, foolish, determined. Reminded me of myself at his age.

PYRRHA Why help him at all?

GARAK(wistful) Many reasons. Perhaps I saw a boy willing to risk everything for a dream. Sentimental old tailor's heart.

(beat, distant)

Or I never forgave Isabel Arc for doubting my artistry. Quite vocal about not trusting "that strange man in the village" with her wedding dress. Ungrateful, after I made her radiant.

JAUNE Mom still thinks you're a spy.

GARAK(laughs richly) A spy? With these hands?(holds up elegant fingers) I assure you, the only secrets I keep are which clients prefer natural fibers.

YANG So which is it? Noble mentor? Petty revenge? Something else?

GARAK(sly) A man is entitled to his mysteries. Perhaps I found the idea of an Arc stumbling into greatness… amusing. Expected him to wash out spectacularly. Imagine my delight when he didn't.

RUBY That's kind of mean.

GARAK Or prophetic. Greatness often begins with a stumble.

BLAKE(quiet) You're not just a tailor.

GARAK Exactly what I say I am. A man who sees potential in unlikely places. Who believes the right person in the wrong place can change everything.

(turns to Jaune, softens)

You've done well, my boy. Better than expected. Your mother must be proud, even if she'll never admit it.

JAUNEY ou never told me why. Really.

GARAK (eyes ancient, weary—just a flash)

Because the darkness is coming. Someone told me an Arc would be needed. Someone has to make sure you're in position.

(mask snaps back, cheerful)

Or perhaps I simply enjoy a good practical joke. Who can say?

He claps hands.

GARAK Now—measurements. Miss Nikos, fascinating shoulder-to-waist ratio. Structured jacket? Miss Schnee, scarf suits you. I could add protective embroidery.

WEISS(involuntary hand to scarf)What kind of protective?

GARAK(winks)The kind that keeps prying eyes away. A lady should have her secrets. And I can do so much more!

REN Why?

GARAK Call it an investment in the future... And besides, up and coming Hunters in training showing off my styles? Who could resist?

COCO appears, dragging enormous garment bag.

COCO Garak! Mom's having a fit—you're late!

GARAK(theatrical sigh) Duty calls. Jaune—keep thriving. In your case, it is far more entertaining than failing.

At the gate, he pauses, looks back.

GARAK Remember, Jaune. Sometimes the plain and simple truth is the most complicated lie of all.

He vanishes into the crowd.

NORA Your family is so cool.

JAUNE(quiet, fond dread) Yeah. Terrifying, isn't it?

Ok the editing needs to roll back a few versions cause that's too much. Solid prose otherwise.

Reminds me of the trickster celtic gods who come at opportune times and lead you to the needed path through a series of practical jokes and trickery.

You mean to tell me this forsaken knight was left alone by his family in his venture, and all his divinely gifted friends left him alone, so he closed the gap through sheer effort? And is also practical enough to wear armour knowing that it's GG no RE once the supernatural aura armour breaks?

.....oh no. Glynda get the submarine.
 
I just saw this. Fucking QROW has sword beams, so now it's both Blake AND Qrow have shown the ability to use the sword beams ONCE then never again. At this stage my head canon is that Adam's semblance isn't sword beams but some kind of sword block Dynakinesis that he then channels into the sword beam technique that everyone seems to have.

...Blake literally tells us this in V6.

His semblance is like Yang's, he tanks Damage and stores energy whoch he can release through an implement.

Come on bro, I am only lobotomized towards JJK. I don't want to be beainless in RWBY too.

In my defence, I was flabbergasted at yet another person shooting sword beams that never did it again.

My controversial take? Swords don't need to be able to shoot off huge ass lasers and it makes for a very boring protagonist TO READ when they start doing it.

I mean for animated media I would fault Fate for making Sword lasers so mainstream.

I would much rather prefer somebody who can use all that power to make it that you cannot defend against the sword.

Like you get into bind, and instead of winding or pushing, you cleave through their sword, one handed. How cool is that.
