"No."

"But it's important. You see--"

"No."

"Look, we have something that--"

"No."

".... *Deep breath* We have the Schnee heiress."

"We're listening."

To be honest, what Vernal said wasn't the whole truth. Maybe it's only what she believed to be true.

She said "Oh, I don't know if it's more funny or sad, but you're clearly out of the loop. Your sister isn't in Mistral anymore. No Atlas personnel are in Mistral anymore."

But the thing is, Argus is part of the Kingdom of Mistral. So maybe she didn't know that some of the Atlas military remains in the base in Argus. Even still, Argus is too far away for Winter to have known what happened to Weiss and go help her. Like Winter said in Weiss' character short, "I'm not always going to be there to save you."
