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.

[fluidgender]

It was just the normal thing to do... Its already cowardly to hide my skills, it'd be even worse to leave her like that...

[hououji]

But many would have. Especially those from the Saotome estate.

[fluidgender]

Well… that ain’t who I am. [She thinks. She hopes.

Eep.]

[hououji]

[ The queen just smiles and lets it go for now. The rest of the ride is quiet and Fuu only wakes once they’re stopped again, very confused and turning a little pink. ]

I apologize, I didn’t mean to sleep in your lap. That couldn’t have been comfortable.
