If there isn't a cost, maybe it could be worth testing out on a few people. Just to make sure no one else is dealing with surprise family entanglements.

[8footswordlady]

I think I can fine tune it to just search for a child of ours. … we should probably let Kaori know what we’re doing. ]

[fluidgender]

...Do you think she'll take offense?

[8footswordlady]

She will if we don’t tell her.

[fluidgender]

Without a doubt. But how do we explain it to her?

[8footswordlady]

… it was my idea. I can tell her.

[fluidgender]

...you sure it won't make things awkward between you two?

[8footswordlady]

… uh, your highness? I don’t think things could get more awkward between us if we tried.

[fluidgender]

Don't try jinxing it.

[8footswordlady]

It’s my idea. I can explain it better I think.

[fluidgender]

[Ranma shrugs but is honestly kind of excited to hear that the kids are at least going to try and talk to each other. Its a good sign.]

[8footswordlady]

[ Adora probably wouldn’t talk to her without serious pushing, otherwise.

She’s gonna knock on Catra’s door, carefully. She still looks like hell. ]

[missedorientation]

[Naturally, when she opens the door, Kaori lacks all subtlety.] You look like hell.

[8footswordlady]

I feel like hell. You okay to talk?

[missedorientation]

When have I reacted bad to a few words?

[8footswordlady]

[ She looks away with a wince. ]

… your folks are helping me with a… spell? I guess?

[missedorientation]

....like with witches and junk? What for?

[8footswordlady]

I wanted to be sure… I wanted to know if I was really their kid.

[missedorientation]

[She blinks. Brow slightly furrowing.]

...alright. And what happens if you aren't?

[8footswordlady]

[ She shrugs? ] I don’t know. Things go back to normal?

[missedorientation]

What's normal supposed to mean in a situation like this?

[8footswordlady]

I go back to being a guard if you guys let me. You go back to being the only real princess.

[missedorientation]

So, normal is someone telling you what to do?

[8footswordlady]

Normal is getting to stay with you. Getting to help you and keep you safe.

[missedorientation]

[She crosses her arms.]

And if you're a princess, that suddenly goes away?
