Ranma got ready for the tub, showering with cold water and lost in thought. When he sat back in the hot soaking tub, he relaxed for a few moments. This was one thing you didn't get too often when camping out.

The door opening let Ranma know that something was going on.
"W-w-w-wait a minute, I'm not ready for this!"
"Come on, Akane, it's not like it isn't in the job description."
"B-b-b-but..."
"Akane, I think our Master will understand if you want to go slowly, but you really should at least get used to looking."
"Uhm, I'm in here," said Ranma nervously as he heard the voices in the changing room.
"Hey! I can undress myself!"
"Then get a move on it, Akane."
"I have to hurry as well, dinner will be late otherwise."
shoof!
Ranma sank into the water as best as he was able, confronted with three naked (one trying to cover everything with her hands, one boldly matter-of-fact, one somewhat demure) girls. "Uhm. I think I put the occupied sign up."
Akane glanced up, then tried to both cover her eyes and cover herself and very quickly ran out of hands.
Nabiki smiled, somehow conveying a certain greediness, and she tried to stare at something Ranma was covering.
Kasumi simply got a washcloth and entered the bath. "Pardon me, Master, but I need to scrub your back."
"Eeek," said Ranma.
"So they're safe from that Chardin agreement," said Genma, leaning against a wall while they waited in line.
"Yes, I couldn't put my daughters through that," agreed Soun. "The whole story I'd told them was, well, I didn't want to frighten them too much."
"They've been adjusted?" said Genma, knowing that Soun wouldn't be likely to put his daughters through any suffering he could avoid.
"Yes, yes, I found a nice little place. Fairly cheap, though they've a reputation for 'custom' jobs," said Soun, eyes brimming with tears. "Not the sort of heavy-handed thing you could get from that ONE clinic."
"Best not to go with the unlicensed places," said Genma. He noticed a slight twitch from Soun. "Soun. You didn't."
"It was so much cheaper," mumbled Soun.
"Not Yakuza was it?" asked Genma in a low voice. Surely Soun wasn't that stupid.
"No no no," said Soun, shaking his head fiercely. "I would never trust my little girls to them. No, these were interns working on experimental procedures from Tokyo University."
"Oh, what a relief," said Genma. "Is that all?"
Soun nodded. "They have to get experience somewhere after all."
Ranma entered the room and checked it carefully. That experience had been kind of weird. Okay, it had been a LOT of weird. He'd been so nervous and self-conscious that he hadn't really known what to do.
Now he had time for a quick nap before dinner, which sounded really good.
Ranma noticed the three folders set down next to his pack right away, marked with the three names of the girls.
