Also, he does say to Pyrrha "You were the first person to ever believe in me", not only, but that might be being pedantic.

Overall, I think Ruby and Jaune's motivations at this stage are pretty similar. Neither of them fell into despair and self-pity like Yang did, instead they turned their energy towards constructive goals like bringing the people responsible to justice. Remember Jaune's little speech after Penny's death in "Battle of Beacon", which had a similar theme. So I honestly think they understand each other pretty well and hope they don't butt heads in the next season. Can't imagine they will. I think they were meant to be together from the start. Lancaster aside, I totally forgot his speech from Battle of Beacon (I tend to forget things easily), that's a good indication he'll be fine. But I can still see him sort of nursing his grief from Pyrrha's death (staring out into space from thinking of her only to get jolted back). Him getting to Mistral and talking with her mother should allow him to get over it completely.

I do wonder who's going to be leader of RNJR. Would Jaune give leadership to Ruby on account of her being the chosen one or will Ruby let Jaune lead his team?
