Humility is hardly a sin, Ranma.

...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.

[fluidgender]

Eh? You were asleep on me? I didn’t even notice. You’re too light, you should eat more.

[Ranma being considerate in such a dick way. That’s how you know she’s confident again.]

[hououji]

I’m glad I didn’t disturb you… I think I’m going to rest for a while.

If you’d like, you can do as you please for the rest of the day.

[fluidgender]

[It hasn’t even occurred to her to think about where they’re actually going or where they’ve arrived at. Her things are probably back in the medical area…]

All my duties are best done early to save time. It makes sense to stay nearby.

[That logic only follows if her duties are nearby, so don’t ask about her duties…]

[hououji]

I’ll be all right. You really can use today for yourself. It’s not too late in the day.

[fluidgender]

Its just easier this way. It'll save time on duties tomorrow too.

[hououji]

You need to at least get a bath and relax, though. You’ve surely been moving on adrenaline. I don’t want you to burn yourself out.

[fluidgender]

Shouldn't you get cleaned up first? Even if you're healed, there's probably sweat and blood all over...

[hououji]

I will, but I’ll be all right on my own.

[fluidgender]

After an attack, it’s best not to leave the princess alone without observation. It’s just in the rule book is all.

[hououji]

There are guards everywhere in the castle.

[fluidgender]

Still regulation, ma’am. Out of my hands.

[hououji]

[ She smiles a little at that. ] Even though I am the one who sets regulations for you?

[fluidgender]

There’s no time for you to fill out the paperwork for that today.

[hououji]

Ranma, I will not die if you look away.

[fluidgender]

[Oh that cuts to the center. She struggles to bluster.]

I-I’m not saying that…

[hououji]

You saved me today. You need to rest so I can rely on you tomorrow.
