Jaune gives Ruby a sidelong glance and then shakes his head, "I don't think that's how IVs are supposed to work you know."
As for his reaction to being "official."
"Yeah. It was...a bit anticlimactic after everything we've been through, but I think your Uncle had a point: we definitely earned it." They'd been through more than a lot of Huntsmen and Huntresses twice their age as far as Jaune could tell, what with the whole Salem thing, and along the way Jaune had stopped thinking about the license thing all together. They were out saving the world regardless -- so what did having an official capacity to do it matter.
Still, it had given then a purpose in Atlas for awhile and plenty of tasks to do. Jaune was excited for what it could mean in terms of the future.
He smiles, "It feels good to be helping people on the ground. Like, I know we've been doing this whole world saving stuff, but it's nice to be looking out for the little guy around Mantle...seeing more immediate results, you know?" They hadn't been able to do a lot of that recently -- not since the time they'd been trekking across Anima. He may have gotten to Beacon for all the wrong reasons, but helping people along the way had definitely opened his eyes to what Huntsman could do beyond just fighting grimm.
