"Almost certainly, though what that breaking post is, I don't know. If she shows up with over a hundred armed people, however, I would say the wise choice would be to flee. No one brings an army to a diplomatic meet and greet."

That was good. Great even. His shoulders loosened a little. If Sienna came with fewer people, that was less risk for them. Against untrained White Fang, Team RVNN was probably worth three times their number and Neo were worth ten times that at least with her Semblance. Again, it was perception. If Sienna turned up with too many and they chickened out, it wouldn't seem that way to the general populace. They'd criticise Sienna for obviously trying to strong-arm the meeting, and he'd be called intelligent for seeing the threat and moving away before his students got in trouble.

In that regard, it was Sienna who had the burden of proof laid on her. She had to prove that she was serious about this, which meant she'd need to go the extra mile in doing so.

It was with what knowledge that when movement did appear on the other side of the clearing, Jaune found himself unsurprised to see the White Fang approach with less than twenty people. Given that Blake and Sun took out almost that many at the docks on their own, it was about as peaceful a procession as they could manage.
