[He pulls a sword out of one of his men's sheaths.] This is getting tiresome. I have a duty to perform and this proceedings have ended the fun of it all.
[He's noticeably annoyed to see Ranma the way she is in the bathroom. He moves to grab onto her hair, dragging her out to the bedroom even as she yelps in pain.]
[He forcibly pushes the sword on top of Fuu's shoulder. He isn't checking which way the blade is pointed. Hopefully its the blunt side, although that might end up nicking the neck. Otherwise...]
[He glares down at Fuu, pure hatred boiling off of him.]
Nay. That would be you.
[He kicks Ranma's side. Do you want to lose your guard on your very first day, girl? Pathetic.
[Ranma's frozen in fear and horror. Its way too much to take in all at once. And all she can feel is that she's the one holding the sword that's hurting Fuu.]
I... um... d-do you, Lady Hououji... swear... to me?

But he's not here, is he?

He isn’t. But I am. And I won’t stand to allow it either.
[ She swallows her anger. Swallows her pain. Swallows the desperation to remind Genmanher father died for him. ]

But Fuu has a promise to keep. Her hand is already on her sword. ]
Unhand her.
no subject
Cease this petulance. If we must do it here, we'll do it here.
[He spins the blade around in his hands.] If you would kneel. So you can be formally sworn in.

[ Fuu is moving to Ranma’s side to make sure she’s all right. ]
no subject
[Ranma automatically leans in towards Fuu, even if it's followed by a reflexive attempt to pull back as well.]
no subject
Are you all right? Are you hurt?
no subject
[Genma groans.]
Someone needs to put this blade on this woman's shoulder before I die of irritation.

Hurry up. Swear her into service.
no subject
Get out.

I'm speaking.

Damn it hurts and without the oath she doesn’t have the magic. ]
You’re dishonoring your house, Lord Saotome.
no subject
Nay. That would be you.
