Not that she was one to be poking her nose into the business of the Council without any real reason. Normally, she'd never bother with trying to have herself even try to get anything more than some good training, since she'd never seen a point to going in that route. But something about this boy nagged at her, and she didn't know why. For all that she knew he could have some sort of major Gift, like the Uchiha clan had, and the Hyuga currently did. Heck, for all she knew, he could have been around when that big demon beast showed up years earlier.
Shooting him a sour glance, she let her lips twist up. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"
"Not really, ta be honest," Ranma responded, giving her a shrug. "Actually, I don't really see any reason ta tease ya."
"No?"
"Trust me. It's pretty stupid ta do much else. Still...."
"What?"
He let his eyebrows rise as he looked at her. "Why'd ya think that'd be the case?"
"You seem to like pointing out things that will probably annoy me...."
"If you're gonna get all bothered by this stuff, then you're going to be in trouble later."
"And the storm?" she asked, frowning at him.
"Wouldn't ya like ta be ready for it?"
"'Ready'? But I don't... oh, right."

The boy in the bandana winced and ducked his head. "Oh, I didn't mean to vanish or anything. It's just that I thought that they might have some sort of sea sickness medicine or something."
"And...."
"'And' what?"
"Did they have medicine?"
"Well.... I kind of discovered something first."
Blinking, the pink haired girl let her features show her confusion. "What would that be?"
"Simple. Don't go downstairs. You wouldn't want to."
"What? Why not?"
"Simple. You haven't lost your sense of smell."
"Ya don't mean...." Ranma began.
Ryoga nodded sadly and one hand in front of his nose. "Made me turn and make a straight line out of there."
"Ack."
"Adding in 'eww' and 'gross'," Sakura muttered, sighing to herself as she leaned against the rail.
"You know," Ryoga told her, trying to look reassuring, "you really should take this in stride."
"Why would that be?"
"Simple. It could be worse."
