[ He knows exactly what she means, but he doesn't agree. He stands up again, slowly circling behind her. ]
You remember what you told me about why you wanted to be a Huntress? It's the same reason as mine or Ruby's. It's why all of us met the way we did. We all have dreams, we all have secrets, and... we've all lost things along the way. Even you.
[ Gently, he gives the swing a little push, letting it sway back and forth. ]
But we still keep moving forward together.
[ He nudges again, letting it gain a little more momentum. It's not a full swing by any means. ]
[ it's a little strange to suddenly feel momentum, no matter how finite. but she quickly gets used to it, gently moving her legs along with his nudges. ]
I don't know... I think I'm still trying to figure that out.
[ especially now knowing what her fate is going to be, she's even more uncertain of her place in the world. ]
[ she's thought about this hard for the past couple of days. there was a point where she wasn't sure how to feel, but she has to give ruby the benefit of the doubt. there's no way her friend would lie to her unless she had to. ]
I think she had a reason for not telling me. I want to talk to her.
[ He has more to say on the subject of Ruby, but this seems to be headed in the right direction so far. Once Penny's soft swinging has enough momentum to work on it's own, Jaune occupies the swing next to hers, although his remains static, unmoving.
[ while her verdict about ruby didn't need much thought, pyrrha's name gives her pause. they weren't friends like she and ruby were when this all happened. ]
I'm not mad at her. I know she didn't do it on purpose.
[ it was scary to look at her after she had shown penny what happened, and she'll probably still feel a little scared for the next while. but she doesn't want to let that stop them from getting along. ]
...Do you think the two of us can be friends here?
What happened between you and Pyrrha was awful... neither of you deserved that.
[ He means the way they were set up by Emerald, although the sentiment can be applied to the fact that Pyrrha also got murdered on the same day. Penny likely doesn't know about that, but that's a story best left for Pyrrha to tell (if she chooses). ]
I think you should talk to her, Penny. It's the only way to move forward, and leave the past where it should be.
[ Or, for a more simple answer, he smiles at her: ]

...Yeah - I believe you two can still be friends.
