[ She frowns, glancing at the pounding. ] Here, let’s get you somewhere to clean up. I’ll take care of who’s at the door.

Let me at least try to help, my lady?

[fluidgender]

I... I don't... [She'll die if you aren't healthy. She'll die if you step on a nail wrong.] Where should I... what should I do...?

[phoenix_temple]

[ Fuu firmly grips Ranma’s hand in both of hers. She’s all smiles again. ]

Do you have a washroom?

[fluidgender]

Just... off the side of the room...

[The pounding is getting louder, more irritable.]

[phoenix_temple]

Come on, you should get a bath. It’ll help clear your head. I’ll handle things out here.

[fluidgender]

[She'll very clumsily go wherever she's directed. She doesn't want to move anywhere undirected, frankly. The sheer scope of it has completely overwhelmed her sense of anything. Its a long, terrifying journey just to sit next to the tub.]

[phoenix_temple]

[ Fuu will do her best to start the water for her. ]

Will you be all right for a little while?

[fluidgender]

Will you?

[phoenix_temple]

[ she blinks? ] What do you mean?

[fluidgender]

I-if I'm feeling weak, are you feeling weak? If I throw up, do you- oh god- [She has to cradle the washroom's bucket in her arms.]

[phoenix_temple]

[ She shakes her head! ] It isn’t like that. Really I’m not in danger at all right now, and I have healing magic if either of us were to be hurt.

Our fathers were younger than us when they met, and they lived quite long together. And I haven’t sworn my oath just yet, either. You’ll be all right. We both will, I promise.

[fluidgender]

Who cares about if I'm alright- you're- Kaze was-

This isn't right.

[phoenix_temple]

We can’t change what’s happened. He knew it would happen. He still chose to live his life how he did.

Our lives will be twined together. I hope… I hope we can get along.

[fluidgender]

But that's... [She gazes down into the bucket, feeling helpless.

There... has to be a way to change it. There has to be...]

[phoenix_temple]

If we leave the person at the door much longer, I’m afraid they’ll break it down.

Please rest, my lady. And I’ll be back.

[ Shes gonna go see who’s at the door after making sure Ranma is well hidden. ]

[fluidgender]

[She feels like her head is gonna explode.

The voice behind the door sounds increasingly pissed at being kept waiting. Someone who's used to getting what he wants immediately, without delay.

Naturally. Its Lord Genma himself.]

[phoenix_temple]

[ Hn. Fuu answers the door politely, only a little. ]

Please excuse me, my lady is getting ready. She currently can’t accept visitors.

[fluidgender]

[He raises an eyebrow, face full of contempt.]

The ungrateful whelp is late. She's meant to meet her eternal guard.

[phoenix_temple]

We’ve been introduced, actually.

[fluidgender]

Hm? [He looks her over curiously.] Ah. You're Kaze's girl. Muu.

The initiation ceremony was supposed to involve me....

[phoenix_temple]

Fuu, actually. We’ve been introduced, we’re preparing for the oath now, please give us just a moment more.

[fluidgender]

Are you moronic? This is an honor I've been hoping for my entire life.

[He shoves against the door, trying to push his way in.]

[phoenix_temple]

[ Fuu braces her feet to try to stop him from pushing in. But like. She’s twelve. ]

Please, my lady is still getting ready.

[fluidgender]

[It doesn't help that he's got two guards joining him. Guess he needs at least two guys to represent even half of Fuu's dad.]

I'm her father and your lord. Both of you are trying my patience.

[phoenix_temple]

My lady is all I swear fealty to, and she’s still getting ready in the bath. This is very inappropriate. My father wouldn’t stand to allow it.
