I’m no longer only human. I’m part Magic now.

[fluidgender]

Ah don't think that means you stop being human though.

[phoenix_temple]

But I’m not only human either.

[fluidgender]

But you're still human too.

[phoenix_temple]

[ she doesn’t feel it and not only because of the invulnerability. Because everyone around here seems to think she isn’t. ]

I have to be more than that now.

[fluidgender]

[Ranma looks at her with the expression of ??????]

What? That's stupid. Don't be stupid.

[phoenix_temple]

[ She blinks. ]

My lady I literally can’t die unless you kill me.

[fluidgender]

Miss Fuu, a lot of people have famously died from being killed. That's not that special.

[phoenix_temple]

But that’s the only way I can die. By your hand.

[fluidgender]

I don't know if you've noticed, but humans spend a lot of their life being alive. I think you still fit right in.

[phoenix_temple]

[ She just shakes her head with a sigh. She supposes it’s only natural ranma doesn’t understand, considering Genma didn’t fill her in on anything. ]

[fluidgender]

Don't shake your head in exasperation at me- why would this make you or more less human in any way that matters?

[hououji]

I-it's not exasperation!

More will be expected from me than a normal guard.

[fluidgender]

That doesn't make you not human!

[hououji]

Did you ever see my father as just a human? Or was he something more at times?

[fluidgender]

He was my friend. [She's almost surprised to hear herself say it.] I don't think that means he had to stop being "just" human.

[hououji]

[Oh that makes Fuu smile so softly.]

Your friend?

[fluidgender]

I'd like to think so... [Now she's paranoid about it though.]

[hououji]

He spoke very fondly of you, too.

[fluidgender]

[She bristles.] Well... good!

So don't go acting like you need to be something more or less than that.

[hououji]

My father has always seemed so much larger than life to me. I never thought he'd actually die.

[fluidgender]

...I get what you mean on that front, I guess. He still seemed like he had a lot in him.

[hououji]

He was young. And stronger and more dedicated than anybody. If it wasn't for the oath, he'd probably have outlived both of us.

[fluidgender]

Wouldn't want to hold that kinda standard to anybody, to be honest.

[She says, ready to hold herself to a ridiculous standard.]

[hououji]

But it's likely that we'll find ourselves in that position.
