"Forgive me, Miss Saotome," Alfred said. "But your permanent housing is not yet ready. Some of the preparations have taken longer than expected, but you should be in your new home within the week."
"I see," Ranma said.
"Master Wayne is quite busy with investigating the state of his businesses these days, Miss Saotome," Alfred said. "He apologizes, but he doubts that he will be able to meet you until next week."
"Ah," Ranma said, calming down. If Wayne-san was away on business than there was no loss of face. "That is unfortunate."
"Master Wayne had thought you might see as such," Alfred said with a small smile. "Your room will be through here."
Ranma nodded and prepared herself for the extravagance she was certain to see within. She was surprised to find that the room within was indeed rather modest.
"The Wayne family has always been rather fond of keeping their quarters relatively simple," Alfred explained. "The grander portions of the manor are for business and social functions mostly."
"Ah, I understand," Ranma said.
"Tomorrow I shall help you replace the items you lost," Alfred said. Ranma bowed formally, smiling.
"You have been too kind, Pennyworth-san," Ranma said.
"Such is my duty and pleasure, Miss Saotome," Alfred said, as he left the young lady to settle herself down.
