I can see Ruby trying to talk to Whitley and figure out why he's being such an ass.

I mean, she took the time to question Roman about why he was helping Cinder destroy Vale, in the middle of fighting him.

It's such a shonen protagonist behavior, but I like that Ruby has this trait where she isn't just "I'm gonna beat the bad guys!", but also wants to understand why someone would do the things they're doing. She sees that even bad guys have their reasons to do bad things, and this may be the "smaller, more honest soul" thing Ozpin was talking about way back in the series premiere, as well as Volume 1's opening song having the lyrics "In time, your heart will open minds."
