Yeah, the way the first option is phrased makes it sound like it's pretty easy to get the allowance back without really having to sacrifice the stay at Beacon. I, mean, I suppose having to explain repeatedly over the phone why she wants to attend Beacon can be tiring but sounds like a relatively small sacrifice in order to maintain economical stability at least some time more.

Which is why Winter's speech rubbed me the wrong way. Her previous line about Weiss taking a job from Mr. Schnee feels like a set up to make the idea of taking the steps to regain her allowance seem abhorrent.

I wonder if it was intentional and indeed Winter is being manipulative or a slip from Miles and Kerry when writing the dialogue.

Hmm. Not nessicarily. We do have to remember that these characters have known each other their whole lives, and as such, the reasons why calling Herr Schnee would not be ideal for Weiss may be self evident to Winter, just not us. The way she phrased certainly seemed that way.

Of course, this also supports the massive ambiguity that surrounds Dada Schnee, and is likely just another method RT is using to obfuscate any sort of reveal for him.
