Koala Later Tuesday Evening

Ranma wants to sleep inside, he really does. But he can't now. Not knowing that was in there. He'll sleep on the roof, afterall he's lived outdoors for several years of his life. He gathers up a blanket and pillow and drags them outside. He braces to pounce up to the roof. The roof isn't very high, only about 9 or 10 feet. So he doesn't have much trouble getting up there. He settles those things there and hops back down to grabs a few more things. He peeks into the cabin and looks around carefully before he goes back inside.

Sakurazaki doesn't sleep much, no big secret there, but after a bomb (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/603191.html?thread=35340855#t35340855) like that, there's no chance she'll sleep. This disturbs her slightly, because she wanted to get some rest for Karate in the morning. But she's roaming, watching the sky thoughtfully...

...And then notices something moving on the roof of one of the cabins. She blinks several times, looking up at it, and hand naturally drifting to her side, where she actually has her mini-Yuunagi now to weild, although popsicle sticks and duct tape don't hurt enemies very much...

Deftly, she finds a way up to the roof, thanks to a nearby tree. Cautiously, she approaches the dark, slightly shifting lump on the roof, prepared for anything.

Ranma sees something moving imediately and falls into a defensive stance. "Who's there?"

She leans in closer. That's a familiar voice, familiar stance....

Slowly, a thought comes to her....//"Ranma-san? Is that you?"//

//Setsuna!// He's glad to see her and, really he's not very formal in the first place, so it's mostly be accident that he calls her only by her first name.

//What brings you up here?//

//"I was walking by,"// she motions slightly behind her with her thumb, //"and saw something moving. I thought maybe it might be a gremlin or something. You know, they tell us about those things, but I've yet to see one."//

(Reply to this)(Parent)

//They say quite a lot of things...// He looks a bit somber today.

//"So, umm...."// She looks away from him a bit; she's quite weary with conversation today, but she has to ask. //"What are you doing on the roof?"//

//Well...// he can tell her the truth more than anone else here so he goes for it, the whole shooting match. //When I was little, my dad did lots of stupid things for the sake of training me. The girl thing, thats just one thing out of more than I care to think about. He read this book aobut a technique, the Cat Fist, it's really powerful. He wanted me to learn it. The way you trian for it is to tie fish sauseage around the person and thrown them into hungry cats. I don't remember how many times that happened. I was a bit too little to fight back. But really Cast Fist is useless to me. I'm not myself when it happens and now... I'm afraid of stupid cats. It's pathetic. The only reason I'm not mad is because being a girl is worse. It takes my mind off it.//

Tie fish sausage around the person and throw them at hungry cats??

//"What sort of messed up training is that?"//

Those are the only words she has for it. The feeling accompanying the words is severe, severe pity for Ranma-san, to have been trained by such a crackpot. But, since that crackpot is his father, she decides to not say anything.

Ranma shows his first act of true aggresion and tries to control an angry punch that he thuds on the roof. He does manage to be gently enough not to break it. If she saw his face for that moment she might his seen his frigtening face that he only dons in times of true anger.

//How'm I supposed to know? Who trains on a cursed training ground? Who takes their 3 year old son from his mom? Not sure. I don't know what goes trough his head. But I'm sure glad I'm not dealing with that anymore.//

Throat tightening, Sakurazaki lowers her head. She really does fail at conversation today.

//"I'm sorry, Ranma-san. I didn't mean to bring up something that would upset you."//

He bends so his face is right up to hers, sideways. He's still cheery mostly, he can't take things too seriously for long. //Huh? Don't YOU get upset too. Me telling you all this stuff.// He pokes her in the center of the forehead. //It's not fair, gotta let me keep some of my secrets for myself okay? You can't keep using powers or whatever it is to draw them out of me. And then being upset about them too? Bad form Setsuna. Bad form.// He's looking goofy.

At first, she's confused, swatting at his finger after it's already gone. But the more he continues, the more she realizes that he's just teasing her. It takes a moment, she manages to make herself respond in form, poking his forehead.

//"Hey, don't label my skills as bad form just because you're not good enough to keep up with them. It's almost like second nature to me, you know."//

Ranma sticks out his tounge looking much like a child. //Nyahh. I just can't fight with a girl.//

He rights himself again and get's out of her face, trying to say this without blushing. //Anyways I'm glad you came to visit me.// He tried. He failed.

//"I really wish you'd stop thinking about me like that, as just another girl. By the sounds of it, Ranma-san, I've had, at the very least, a must more upright training than yourself. If I had Yuunagi here, you would be dead like"// She snaps her fingers. //"That. If I wouldn't get in trouble for it."//

She lifts her chin and smirks at him. She would stick out her tongue, but she just didn't do that. But one of her eyelids fall , a common expression for her that sometimes looks like wink. Sometimes.

And, yes, she does sort of brush over that last bit. She's had enough potententially embarrasing conversation for one day, thank you.

Ranma laughs a bit, wondering if she really stood a chance against him. He doubted it. He bends backwards into a bridge with his arms folded at his chest, supporting the bridge with his head and feet he stares at her upside down and continues to talk to her. //Well I'm sorry it's the way I was conditioned to think. I can't help what stupid pops always told me.//

She genuine laughs as she looks down at an upside down Ranma-san. Maybe it's the fresh air finally getting into her lungs, into her head.

//"You know, I'd do something about that little bridge of yours if we weren't on the roof of a cabin where people are potentially sleeping..."//

//I dare you.//

She grins. //"Like I said, not where we could potentially wake others...But if you care to move this elsewhere, Ranma-san...."//

She releases a big sigh, shaking her head slightly. //"I could really use a good spar."//

John's tossing and turning.

And tossing.

He shuts the windows.

Pillow over head.

Nothing.

He can't take this being around people. Too noisy.

AND WHO THE HELL IS SNORING?!

SNOOOOOOOOOOOOORK*mumblemumblesetsunamumble*SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORK . . .

Ranma finally notices that she seems stressed. //Why? Did you have a bad day?// He springs up to standing and turns to looks at her from an upright position.

Ranma later sleeping as well, snores almost as strangly as Jude, just not inside so no one can hear, "Snorrrrreeeee*mumblejealousmumble*Snooorrreee"

One eyelid slids shut as Sakurazaki frowned. What was this? Did he not want to spar? Sure, it was probably a good idea, what with it being late and them both having karate in the morning, but...it seemed like he wanted to talking. She sighs. More talking....

//"I had a very rough day. Up and downs, good and bad. Way too much roller-coaster..."// Idly, she carves the roller-coaster in the air with her hand.
