[ Weiss wouldn't normally talk about herself openly, but she feels... nice. Maybe it's the music or the festival or the fact that someone is holding her. Energy is actively flowing in her, and it gives her a positive feeling. ]
My story? I'm not even sure where to begin. I'm the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company and I'm a Huntress-in-Training.
[ Former Heiress. Not exactly a title worth disclosing to anybody, though. It's embarrassing. ]
[ It isn't usually so easy to get others to open up. It takes more than confidence and a cleverly-concocted, bald-faced lie to slip past one's defenses. But Yan Qing has been more honest now than he has in the past week, and even the wary ruffian has almost forgotten how dangerous it is for a Servant to speak about oneself.
Well, not that he's ever been careful. ]
So that's where the Queenie vibe comes from. Haha! Oh, but you don't like that, do you? I get it. I get it, I think. [ Not really. He's still trying to get a feel of her personality. ] What's a Huntress-in-Training? Didn't think you did blood sports either.
[ The Queenie thing, she means. At least it's just a vibe now than it being her nickname. That's... slightly better. ]
To answer your question, though... a Huntsman or a Huntress is a licensed individual who travels the world and fights Creatures of Grimm and other threats to mankind.
I'm still in training as I'm supposedly a student. [ She pauses and her lips pull into a frown. ] I'm not exactly able to continue my studies here, though.
[ Or given her situation at home, she can't either... Maybe she should start considering herself an actual Huntress. Just without the license. ]
[ Maybe she'll stop being Queenie when he sees it!
... Well, it doesn't matter to him either way. People can be who they want to be. ]
Ehh, who cares? I fight bad guys all the time and you don't see me call myself a hero-in-training. [ Though the words "heroes" and "bad guys" are subjective. ] As long as your heart's in the right place, then whatever, right?
You don't have to tell anyone about the in-training thing. It'll be our little secret.
[ That actually gets Weiss to laugh, and she lets go of one of Yan Qing's hands so she can cover her mouth. She doesn't want to be seen as boisterous or someone with no poise, even if her light giggles are anything but. ]
Okay, sure. It'll be our secret.
[ Even though... Weiss can't keep a secret. ]
What's my secret keeper's name? You haven't actually told me what to call you. And quite frankly, I never thought I'd speak to you again.
[ Harsh, but Weiss is always honest. :');;;; Sorry bout that. ]
[She's laughing! That's more like it. She's way less Queenie now.]
Ouch! Well, I can't say you'd be wrong. I'm like a bird! I come and I go. Wahahaha! [It's true. It's why he thinks he can get away with a lot of things.] I'm Yan Qing. Just Yan Qing. Just so you know, qing means blue. And weiss is white... Did I get that right?
[ It's a little odd, but maybe in Yan Qing's world, there's a language where "Weiss" means "white". It most certainly doesn't exist in Remnant, but her parents told her that it's supposed to be a name that's a variation of "white". ]
You're not from Remnant, though. I didn't think naming people after colours would be a thing in other places, too.

Oh, it's a thing. I'd say it's pretty universal. Multiversal? I'm just from China. And I think we're almost at the part where I lift you.
[They are probably one of the few who are being extra about this dancing thing, minus the Prismals with tentacles and other appendages.]

Hold on! Give it a few more bars. I need to be prepared and breathe in properly.
[ In fact, her grip on him tightens out of surprise. As for being extra? That's Weiss on a regular day. ]
