He couldn't read her beyond the fact that she was contemplating something, and deep enough in thought that she would not notice if a mack truck ran over her. She seemed surprised that she had lost, and she looked neither happy nor displeased at the result of the match. Ranma wondered what exactly that the old woman would have her granddaughter do for him.
Somehow dropping the line of thought, Ranma shrugged and looked over the various Amazons. They seemed to be in shock that one of their best had been defeated by an outsider, but Ranma expected that, especially after traveling to numerous dojos and besting numerous masters and top-tier students. It was one of the few things that did not seem out of place for him.
He looked over to his slaves. They seemed to be happy that he had won the match, but he heard Mizuno muttering something about getting even with his father. When he held Minako’s eyes for a second, she batted his eyelashes at him. ‘Girls are weird’ he thought. While wondering why a girl was batting her eyelashes at him, he realized that he had been standing on a log for the past three and a half minutes. So he got off the log and walked to his girls. He needed to talk to the Elder about learning some techniques, but for now he just wanted to relax, and decided to stick with talking to people he knew well.
“Master, might I have a word with you in private?” Doctor Mizuno asked. Ranma nodded, and then walked up a little ways.
“What’s up doc?” Ranma questioned.
“It’s your father” she started.
“Pops? What’s he done this time?” Ranma asked, with a slight irritation showing through his voice.
“Well, this time nothing but it could have turned out badly if you had lost” the doctor replied.
“What d’ya mean?” he questioned, genuinely curious.
So Doctor Mizuno explained to him what Genma had done, and how much it would have cost him had he lost. Doctor Mizuno had to repeat it several times in words not normally used in her vocabulary, but eventually she got the point across. After Ranma finally comprehended the exact implications of what, and more importantly who we would have to do, he growled two sentences.
“I should’a known he’d pull somethin’ like this” he state softly. “Pops! I’m gonna’ beat some sense inta’ ya.”
