[ She does ask, quietly, if she can find her room. She’d really like to take a bath and get changed. Also to move her father’s journals to the room at the very least, if she can save nothing else of his. ]

[fluidgender]

[She'll help out with that, or at least find someone who might know more. A servant follows that instruction quickly, leading Ranma and Fuu to Fuu's temporary room. They're still cleaning up the room next to Ranma's for Fuu's benefit, the servant explains, but the process shouldn't take long.

No problem they can imagine with her having the journals.]

[phoenix_temple]

[She’s so relieved to have a chance to get clean and put on new clothes. ]

Would it be all right if I take a few more of father’s things?

[fluidgender]

["I can't think of any the lord would object. It should be alright."]

[phoenix_temple]

[ She looks relieved! Thank goodness. ]

Thank you.

My lady, would it be all right for me to clean up quickly?

[fluidgender]

Oh, yeah! Go for it!

[phoenix_temple]

[ She smiles and nods, rushing off to clean up. She’ll emerge not much later, damp but looking so much better. ]

[fluidgender]

[For her part, Ranma gets working on thinking about her list. And also maybe not being in pajamas? She's been in pajamas.]

[phoenix_temple]

[ Could be worse! Could be covered in blood, which Fuu is no longer.

She knocks politely at Ranma’s door when she’s done. ]

[fluidgender]

Come in! [She's getting in her slacks and red button-up. Its nearing the end of the day and her mom prefers certain dress for dinners but. She's out of town, so Ranma's getting away with what she can.]

[phoenix_temple]

Thank you for your patience while I got ready, my lady.

[fluidgender]

Oh? I was expecting you to take the rest of the day off to get properly settled.

[phoenix_temple]

Huh? No, I just wanted to get cleaned up. I can get settled tonight after my duties are done.

[fluidgender]

Alright. I mean... [She puts her hands on her hips, looking around.]

I don't really know if there's much guarding of me to be done today...

[phoenix_temple]

Then… maybe we could just spend time together. [ get to be friends maybe? ]

[fluidgender]

Doing what? [Doing things... without purpose? Does not understand.]

[phoenix_temple]

Getting to know each other more, maybe?

[fluidgender]

Oh, uh, sure.

[...she has no idea what to talk about now.] Ya wanna fight again? You had some good moves.

[phoenix_temple]

What? No, my lady, you’ll be needed at dinner soon.

[fluidgender]

Even more reason to have a good fight! Get the body hungry!

[phoenix_temple]

I can show you some of what father taught me, but… not today. [ She’s exhausted. ]

[fluidgender]

I guess I can wait...

But I hope ya ain't expecting me to dress fancy tonight. I don't care if that's what people want, I'm not in the mood for it.

[phoenix_temple]

Hm? However you’d like to dress is fine. What they expect isn’t my priority.

[fluidgender]

Good! [Harumph!] I'm sick of that stuff. I got no patience for it today!

[phoenix_temple]

Lady Ranma… my only priority is you, please don’t forget that.
