[She blinks because that's easier than showing the complexities of the emotions in her stomach.] That's... kinda intense.

[phoenix_temple]

[ She smiles though, warm and confident. ] Don’t worry, though. I’ll keep you safe.

[fluidgender]

It ain't me I'm worried about.

[Not that she's ready to put the words "worried" and "you" so close to each other either.]

[phoenix_temple]

You know I can fight. You shouldn’t have to worry at all.

[fluidgender]

I ain't worried, its just... concerning situation.

[She pronounced it with a drawl. "Sitch-ee-ation"]

[phoenix_temple]

You don’t need to be concerned…

[fluidgender]

I didn't say I was...

Just, ya know. Building up strength takes time and all that.

[phoenix_temple]

You can only build strength by pushing your limits!

[fluidgender]

Sure, but like... there's a little thing called overexerting yerself too.

[phoenix_temple]

You’re going to have to get used to this, lady Ranma.

[fluidgender]

Nuh uh. [Sticks out her tongue.]

[phoenix_temple]

At least for the rest of my life you will.

[fluidgender]

I don't hafta get used to nothing if I don't feel like it.

[phoenix_temple]

I suppose that’s true, but it doesn’t change that it will happen.

[fluidgender]

[She glowers.]

Yeah, well, I don't wanna hear about "inevitable" things.

[phoenix_temple]

I just think it’s best to prepare yourself for these things?

[fluidgender]

I think its better to prepare for a fight than to give up.

[phoenix_temple]

I hadn’t realized my presence was such a burden!

[fluidgender]

You're the one talkin' like I should treat ya like an object!

[phoenix_temple]

You should treat me like a constant. Keeping you safe keeps me safe now, haven’t you realized?

[fluidgender]

...I guess. But that doesn't mean I hafta like the circumstances about it.

[phoenix_temple]

Why do you dislike them so much? It was my choice.

[fluidgender]

Hardly a choice when they take away your other options.

[phoenix_temple]

Honestly. I’m happy I can continue father’s work. And I’m glad that my master is kind and understanding… I think I got very lucky over all.

[fluidgender]

Ya shouldn't have to be forced to rely on luck for a good life...
