It is. You're going to stand still with an apple on your head and I'll shoot it off. If you can keep your eyes open and not flinch, I'll let you have a gun.
Wait, I'm the one being shot at?! H-Hahaha... look, Archer, right? It's not that I don't believe you're someone who lives up to his name... but I can tell you almost definitely that I am going to flinch and scream! [ Nobody mentioned screaming. ALSO THIS WASN'T WHAT RIN PROMISED HIM?? ]
I'd just like a long-range weapon to better protect everyone in this crazy city, okay? B-But if you've already decided that I'm not worthy, then... can you at least help me with my other request...? It could be important!
Are you really that much of a baby? Don't you have friends who depend on you? How would they feel if you said you couldn't handle having an apple shot of your head?
I imagine they'd feel pretty much the same way they already do... [ Sadly, he's aware of his status as the lovable idiot, the baby, etc.
Archer isn't telling him anything he doesn't already tell himself. ]
W-Well... the-girl-who-shall-not-be-named-in-this-convo said she was gonna leave me some important data before she... y'know... did the thing-that-shall-not-be-brought-up. I-If you could just pass it on to me, I'm not gonna waste any more of your time... sir!!
[ While Archer takes his time, Jaune will stand by patiently at the door. The longer he waits, a montage of him doing various things starts playing, such as taking selfies oh himself for no reason, writing a couple of randomly inspired song lyrics in his notepad, and eventually just playing with a plain old yo-yo. However, the yo-yo ends up being tangled around the doorknob, and Jaune silently panics about how difficult it is to untangle before Archer returns. Eventually, he takes out his sword and just cuts the thread, but his sword ends up leaving a faint dint on the door.
Th-thanks! Wow, even the gun? Are you sure? That's really cool of you! I know I let you down before, but... I'll get better at the whole not freaking out thing. Then you can shoot as many apples as you want from my head!

Wait right here for a few minutes.

Welcome to Jaune's life. ]

With a gun and a note. Which he holds out while staring at said sword.
Sorry Jaune.]
....useless.

As casually as possible.
And then he accepts his quest loot. ]
