[ it takes approximately two seconds for the door to open -- sometimes, ozpin's semblance is a lot more useful in every day occurrences. like crossing rooms in a split second when the time is urgent. such as now, and weiss is greeted with a warm smile, and ozpin steps aside to allow her in.
the apartment is meticulously clean and put together. mostly because glynda insists. and he hasn't really had much time to properly ruin it yet. ozpin waits until weiss is inside, closing the door neatly behind her, before speaking. ]
Would you like something to drink?
[ diplomacy is difficult for adults. it is even more difficult to grasp for teenagers, even those who have been through hell. weiss can afford to relax, for half a moment, before delving into the mess that the city is in. ]
[ Ozpin, Weiss isn't going to die if you answer the door at a normal speed you show-off. Weiss actually looks surprised when he manages to open the door so quickly, but he asks a question and she nods. ]
Coffee, please. Black.
[ Even if her name means white, she definitely doesn't like her coffee to be milk with a shot of caffeine in it. ]
--Were you just waiting in front of the door like a pet? [ Because you know, puppies are cute but that's kind of disconcerting to think of Ozpin just excitedly waiting at the door for Weiss to arrive. Did he.. not have anything better to do? She can't fathom how he got there so fast since she's pretty sure no one with a cane should be able to move that quickly. ]

[ Most of their names are Jaune Arc, but hey. Weiss follows him to watch him make the coffee. She'd rather not be alone right now, even if it's just waiting on a drink. ]
Either you happened to be passing in front of the door or you're much faster than you appear.

What is the saying -- think outside of the box. What do you think is the most likely explanation?
[ he says, as he readies the machine ]
To give you a hint, it is not your first suggestion.
