And yet she was nearly killed showing mercy to Saotome knights.

… I hope you’re right. You may be a good influence on her.

[fluidgender]

...I disagree. She is a far better influence on me.

[hououji]

Fuu wasn’t raised in the same way her sister was. We allowed her more freedoms, thinking she would never need to inherit the throne. We thought it was best to shield her from the worst, knowing her role as princess would be elevated if she were beloved by her people. She’s good natured to start, and we encouraged it further.

But our shortsightedness could lead to danger for her.

[fluidgender]

Maybe. But...

As a first-born, I was molded too well by own parents. I'm... still learning how to be someone outside of their expectations. The person I could have been... maybe could have protected more people that the person that I am.

Ah- Not that. I meant that. As a judgment? Ma'am? [R-royalty...]

[hououji]

A firstborn? Then you’re of noble descent?

What’s your family name?

[fluidgender]

…one that… lost its honor years ago. Your highness. We were never welcome in royal court and never deserved to be. And I have vowed to abandon the name entirely and speak of it as little as I am able.

[hououji]

And what is your skill?

[fluidgender]

Pain.

I cannot heal wounds. But I can make pain vanish or increase. In battle, it made it easier to keep fighting when conditions were difficult.

[hououji]

A cruel skill in the wrong hands.

[fluidgender]

Yes, your highness.

Yes.

[She feels disgusting and she deserves it.]

[hououji]

You were the one who gave my daughter a window to think without the pain then, I assume. To heal herself.

[fluidgender]

I… maybe? It was all… kind of a blur. She did far more on her own than I could have done.

[hououji]

Kuu always found it very difficult to heal when she was injured. It was nearly impossible for her to conjure the peace to do so when she was in pain.

[fluidgender]

Ah…

[She can’t exactly praise Fuu without insulting Kuu then…]

Still… I don’t think I should be credited.

[hououji]

I’ll see if she disagrees when she’s recovered.

[fluidgender]

That's not fair, she'll never see her own victory as worth mentioning... [Almost a Normal Teen Girl whine.]

[hououji]

[ oh the queen chuckles at that. ] You’re learning from her quickly.

[fluidgender]

[She bristles, even if she isn't sure why.] It ain't like that...

[hououji]

It’s not?

[fluidgender]

Not at all… I haven’t figured out how yet, but it’s definitely different!

[hououji]

Humility is hardly a sin, Ranma.

[fluidgender]

[white lady math.gif]

...Eh?

[hououji]

You seem to think my praise of your humility is an insult.

[fluidgender]

I mean, isn't that like. Saying I'm hiding my strength?

[hououji]

You refuse to accept my thanks for saving my daughter.
