[ Fuu dislikes them both so much! She does everything in her power to make things easier for others when that kind of thing happens. ]

[fluidgender]

[Its part of why Fuu's warmth is such a boon to the house. Its a breath of fresh air. Ranma is always willing to help if Fuu asks for support but... that depends if Fuu ever mentions these problems.

On the broader scope of things, Ranma's clearly often bored at most social functions. She still spars, although Nodoka tries to keep schedules busy to try and curb that where she can. She hangs around with horses a lot. She'll arrange for Fuu to have one too honestly. She figures if riding around is the main hobby she's "allowed" to have, she might as well make sure Fuu has all the tools to keep a close pace.]

[phoenix_temple]

[ As a guard she has to stay close! So of course she will need a horse.

Fuu’s favorite moments are when they’re alone together. She doesn’t have to keep up such an air of being strong and confident. She’s only fourteen after all. ]

[fluidgender]

[Ranma finds herself treasuring moments like that. She'll even give ground to her mom on missing some sparring sessions in favor of just general free time. Just pockets where Fuu can just relax and maybe even read.

She might spend the time lifting weights but. She still likes to see that freedom.]

[phoenix_temple]

[ She likes spending the time WITH ranma, So she typically avoids reading when it’s just the two of them.

She still visits her father’s grave often. But she visits her home much more rarely. ]

[fluidgender]

[She gets huffy if she thinks Fuu is neglecting her hobbies though. Sometimes she'll even force a book in Fuu's hands, even if she doesn't even understand what the core genre or premise is.]

[phoenix_temple]

[ Fuu laughs a little at this. ]

I read before bed, my lady. I just want to enjoy our time together while we have it.

[fluidgender]

Why throw away more hobby time if you're asking for it? 'Specially since I know you were so excited about the, uh...

[She gazes at the cover. It has a beach on it.]

...Whale facts?

[Probably not that.]

[phoenix_temple]

We don’t get a lot of time together alone! Of course I’d like to spend it together.

It’s what friends do, isn’t it?

[fluidgender]

[Pink!] Well... yeah...

But I like it when you're getting all kinds of chances to enjoy yourself. I ain't annoyed to see ya read while we're hanging out.

[hououji]

You realize I enjoy myself when we spend time together, don't you? If you're happy, I'm happy.

[She's very genuine about that.]

[fluidgender]

Well, yeah... [Even pinker.] But... you don't read unless ya think you're safe to.

So I'm always to see ya reading too.

[hououji]

[She sighs dramatically.] I suppose you're right, but the last thing I need is for your father to find me reading.

[She's drawn his ire before, certainly. I can't imagine the repercussions were pleasant, considering their first meeting ended with her bleeding.]

[fluidgender]

[A smile crawls up her face.] Its always so surprising to hear you sigh like that after you have to spend a day being serious. Do it again.

[A distraction from thinking about Genma? Definitely.]

[phoenix_temple]

It hurts to know you think I’m capable of not being serious, my lady.

[fluidgender]

That's part of the concern, Fuu. You could stand to have more fun.

[phoenix_temple]

You know I have fun, my lady. That’s most of the reason your father hates me so much.

[fluidgender]

He hates everyone.

You only seem to be having fun when I'm having fun. I think that's too much vicarious living. You should steal more horses.

[phoenix_temple]

I would never steal! And I’m only having fun when you are because it’s hard to be happy when my friends aren’t.

[fluidgender]

That's a pretty roundabout way of saying you don't know how to fun without me, I think.

[phoenix_temple]

[ She beams ] I suppose that is true.

[fluidgender]

Don't take it as a compliment!

[phoenix_temple]

I think it’s a compliment toward yourself! You need to have more self esteem.

[fluidgender]

Well, that we can agree on. I'm delightful and no one notices it enough.

[phoenix_temple]

[ She giggles. ] I do my absolute best to show them, you know.
