The Lupina blinked as Ranma shrugged Asrial's hand off of his shoulder and walked into the woods. "Hey! This girl NEEDS some help, you heartless bastard!" Even that didn't stop him. What the hell was wrong with his world? How the hell did people in his world survive if they all acted that way around sex? Sylia turned to Asrial and huffed a bit. "He's a wimp." She said honestly and held out the Pokeball for the Salusian. "If he can't do it, you do it."
The blond girl wasn't looking at her, but rather, at the direction her boyfriend had gone into. She sighed a bit. Okay, technically he wasn't her boyfriend, but she wasn't going to let the guy who took her virginity get away from her that easilly. Ignoring the Lupina, who huffed in indignation, Asrial followed Ranma into the forest a bit.
Sylia shook her head and sighed. "Their world is too messed up. What kind of people try to avoid having sex?"

Across the multiverse, several people sneezed, ruining their hiding places as they were grabbed for either hot Nookie or fought over, causing some extreme property damages and the lowering of real estate values. But that was neither here nor now.

"Ranma!" Asrial called out as she ran after her guy. "Ranma!" The blonde girl growled a bit as he continued to walk. "Darn it!" She yelled and grabbed his shoulder, forcing him to face her. "Ranma, answer me!" She yelled into his face. She blinked as she got a look at his eyes. The pain, shame and remorse in them were heavy, as well as the depression in there, nearly overwhelmed her.
The pigtailed martial artist clenched his left fist and frowned a bit. "Dammit! Dammit! Look at me! Mr. Big-Shot martial artist who's supposed to protect the weak. And look what I did to you."
Asrial grimaced. Okay, he was really taking it hard. Not that she could blame him, she herself hated thinking about what happened. Still... "It's not your fault."
"Yes it is!" He practically hollered at her, before turning and punching a tree, causing it to shake fiercely. "Dammit! I should have been able to fight that stuff off, yet... Look what I did to you." He shuddered a bit, knowing what happened, but not really knowing what happened. "I'm surprised that you don't want me dead."
Asrial frowned, yes, she hated what happened, it hurt her in more than just a physical way. To see Ranma acting like this... It just wasn't really right. At least the guy was decent enough to be upset about what had happened, not to mention that he had stayed with her and tried to help her after the fact. "Ranma... Listen to me, please?" Seeing him nod, she continued. "What does it serve? Dying that is. What purpose does it serve?"
Ranma went silent for a bit. True, it may not solve much, but... "It would preserve your honor."
He was surprised to hear Asrial growl a bit. "So, for my honor, you'd kill yourself?" She asked rhetorically. Grabbing his shoulders, she forced down a flinch, before turning him to face her and pushing him against the tree. "Listen, Ranma. You promised to stick with me. You can't do that if you're dead. And..." She sighed a bit. "You can't make it right if you're dead. Just... Quit thinking about killing yourself. If not for yourself then for me. Dammit, you're my only friend on this perverted world."
Ranma gulped a bit and nodded. "O, okay." He said.
"Good." Asrial said, smiling a little bit as she let him go.
Ranma sighed. Seeing her smile, well, he figured he could go on living. If only to make things better for her.
