"I'm not always going to be around to save you Weiss."

Given how unsubtle-ish they were with Ruby's Silver Eyes in Volume 1, that sort of line being foreshadowing seems pretty overt, especially compared to the death flags they had pinned on Ren and Nora, and that was ONLY because they got a lot of backstory in just a few short episodes.

However; for this situation, it could also be interpretted as some form of "I won't see you often at all since I'm a military specialist, so you're on your own girl...tried to help you as much as I could," in this particular context, which would make sense given the timing. Is that what you're referring to?

Perhaps, like someoen on this thread commented earlier, it's some sort of line that will be referenced if and when Weiss finds Winter this Season, something along the lines of "You got better, and you made it, Weiss."
