I had to rewatch every moment in volume 4 and 7 to see if he at least said it once. He did say Winter´s name, but not Weiss.

Every time he talks to her is `hello sister´ or `dear sister´. And I have a theory of why he does this.

I think the reason for this is because he was raised (by Jacques) to acknowledge people by their respective titles, no matter if their family or friends. Hence why he directs to them as `father´, `mother´ and `sister´.

Accordind to wiki, his main personality trait is his politeness, so it makes sence that he shows his respect with words even if it´s just a title. So why does he refers to Winter as, well... Winter?

I belive it´s because of her leaving when he was very young he doesn´t feel attached to her as he does, or did, with Weiss. You can´t miss what you never had. But even so, I think it´s also a way for him to show how little he cares for her or who she is, even if he doesn´t hate her it already has been stablished he does not like her.

Apart from the fact that I kept missing chances at doing visceral attacks due to how hellishly fast she is, during the battle in general I kept on doing noises as a reaction to whenever I had to dodge or whenever she hit me. Somewhere along the line my two friends Viole and Lightning caught on and thought it sounded like I was doing... “something else” with Lady Maria than dueling her.

Basically, they thought it sounded like I started to moan in pleasure and I was so embarrassed that I lost the fight then and there. I caused Lightning to have a severe laughing fit and my face turned beet red.

I should mention that both Viole and Lightning know full well how much of a crush I have on Lady Maria since I mentioned that I wanted to try and get damaged by her riposte attack. So uh, yeah.

Me: Do you ever feel like a plastic bag~♫

Viole: ... "Do you ever feel like a flaccid what"? Did I hear that right?

Me: OH MY GOD, NO YOU DIDN'T. I sang "PLASTIC BAG." *laughs*

Viole: OHHHH.
