[ The nosedive Ruby's demeanor took was Yang's first clue. The carefree smile of hers was frozen on her face as she turned her head from her sister's face to watch Weiss begin to explain the situation.

They wouldn't lie to her. There would not only be no reason for it, but they were her trusted partners. She had no idea how Penny could be involved in all this, especially since she just said herself she would not have any such knowledge, but Weiss seemed to think it was something so important — or terrible — that it was worth stopping to ask permission first.
Yang's hands were already tightening into fists, and her expression evened out. It's obvious that she's bracing herself, waiting for the other shoe to drop. But there's also anger there; she had been upset about the inconvenience of not being allowed to enjoy her moment in the spotlight after the conclusion of her tournament match, but it sounded like that would have been the wrong kind of attention anyway.
She could have laughed it off. But it's really not funny. ]
