I think she may have gotten that from you. A much worse case, but…

[fluidgender]

No way, she got that from you. I think you'll find I'm something of a wunderkind.

[hououji]

I think if you remember back, you called yourself my captor rather than my lover for weeks after we were married. And you thought I’d hate you when I found out truths about you.

[fluidgender]

Well, yes. But I think we can blame Pops for that. Outside of everything I got from him, I'm generally the greatest.

[hououji]

You’re blustering. You always do when you feel like you’ve done something wrong.

[fluidgender]

And you're trying to solve problems instead of focusing on your health.

[hououji]

There’s nothing else I can do for my health right now. If I sleep anymore I’ll go mad.

[fluidgender]

Not your most convincing argument against rest, dear.

[hououji]

I’d honestly rather start moving again.

[fluidgender]

...we're in [town] by the border. I haven't been here before but... well, I don't know if you have either. Any place you always wanted to see?

[hououji]

I meant more toward home. I don't think my fever would allow me sightseeing.

[fluidgender]

Not something that intense. But... like light local foods. A token from a local temple someone might want to donate.

[hououji]

I think I’d like to return and thank them for their kindness when I’m well again. There’s nothing I could possibly want right now.

[fluidgender]

As you wish, my queen.

[They kiss her palm gently.]

[hououji]

[ She turns a little redder, though it’s hard to tell with the way her fever has kept her flushed. ]

There’s no need for flattery, my love.

[fluidgender]

Its not flattery. Just an agreement. [With a sly smile.]

[hououji]

So it was flirtation. I see. [Still she holds tightly to his hand.]

[fluidgender]

I don't know the meaning of the word.

[hououji]

[She chuckles sweetly, but then has to pull away to cough.

She really does need to see healers. Like really soon.]

[fluidgender]

[They've been contacting local healers, but most of the ones in the immediate area don't seem completely prepared for this level of danger to navigate. But Ranma's putting out more feelers even as making preparations to keep moving.]

[hououji]

[ There’s some priests and such who are in the area, there’s always a few around, but even they are like “this is crazy shit. There’s not enough equipment out here.” ]

[fluidgender]

[Execute that man, he swore in front of the infirmed.

No, but Ranma speeds up their work to get Fuu moving again. Might ask a healer to check on Adora too.]

[hououji]

[ When the healer looks at Adora, she kinda pulls the king aside like.

“Your majesty how da fucc does someone go through that shit and survive. This kid is a medical miracle.” ]

[fluidgender]

I know, I know... she's stubborn and she keeps resisting attempts for sleep. She's... scared of losing control.

[hououji]

[ They have some supplements to help her sleep they offer Ranma and some warnings about making her rest when she gets home. ]
