Well Parrot, I must say you put up a good point. Ruby's innocence and naiivety make her very likely to act like a shonen protagonist helping her friends. But again, it's still a possiblity.

As you said, that scene could swing the argument both ways. On your side, it could be argued that Ruby thinking of Jaune becoming Beowolf food and that not increasing her urgency to seek him out could be seen as Ruby not viewing Jaune in a romantic light. It could also be said that she might have abandoned the thought of teaming with him (though I believe it is more likely that she would have stuck with him if she found him) after giving it a second and realizing he's not the best suited for combat. This could be argued with an old theory I posted on this thread a while back. According to her voice actor, Barbara, Yang is the type who, to teach someone something, would use the "sink or swim" method. Maybe, being raised in the same house, Ruby also believes in this and doesn't think she should baby Jaune. This could lend credence to Ruby not caring enough for Jaune to seek him out and help.

Arguably though, there's a different perspective. The way I see it, the scene can be viewed in a more positive light. Ruby perhaps would still have sought Jaune out on account of him being her one and only friend at that point (well, Blake may have been classified as a friend, or merely an acquiantance, that's up to you to decide). Now while this doesn't imply romantic feelings, it implies she does care for Jaune on some level. Also, she viewed him in a rather positive light, despite not having known him long and having a first impression based off of vomit and childishness.

All in all, it's down to what you believe in, and how you percieve things. It can be said that our shippings, much like many other things in this world, are based on our perception. How we percieve things can lead to conflicting opinions and facts, but it also allows us to see through multiple views.

I will respect your views on the situation, and I hope you will do the same.

And also, despite you being a PyrrhaXJaune shipper, I'm glad you added into your post the possiblity of Ruby ending up with Jaune eventually. Glad to see you're not totally against the idea. I will convert you yet!! :3
