Ok, look, I really don't want to discuss Bumbleby, less in this ep. thread, because there was exactly zero Bumbleby in it.

Remember Burning the Candle? It was literally the first significant interaction between Blake and Yang. Before that, the most they had done was glance at each other. All the Bumblebys shouted queerbating at that episode, too.

Look, I'm WhiteRose trash, that doesn't turn all Ruby and Weiss scenes into queerbaiting. I'm CVFY poly trash, that doesn't turn every CVFY interaction scene into polybaiting.

How many significant interactions have there been between Blake and Yang?

You know why Yang went after Blake? It couldn't be Ruby because she was on the airship. Weiss was out of breath after managing a partial summon. From the people standing on the courtyard, the only ones left with a bond to Blake close enough to justify having them go around on their own looking for her were Sun and arguably Velvet.

All the courtyard group was shown fighting intensively, so they were all tired. Weiss was the only one who could know from that group that Blake was off on her own, last Yang knew, Blake was with her, naturally she asked Weiss for Blake's status.

Yang was basically the only option to send after Blake.
