...so it's hard not to present that choice as an ultimatum. 1.  Not really true, she said it before Yang left, so Yang could have changed her mind, therefore the choice was not yet made, otherwise it would not have been prefaced with "if you do this".

and before that she still gave the ultimatum that she would tell her nothing if she didn't stay, and that is not how you negotiate when the sum total of your interaction has been saving the other parties life once and then telling her you won't do it again(as well as kidnapping your friend and just letting her go after she freed herself... it isn't like Raven didn't know she was Yang's friend beforehand either). At least Ozpin offered to train them, Raven offered nothing of value for everything Yang owned, that's like the opposite of an ultimatum, but it isn't a choice.
