Certainly, she was taking enough care to choose items to appear like she knew what she was doing. Bandages, medicines, and even a small medical device that recorded basic health stats went into her bag. Of course, he knew that she was well qualified for her tasks, given that he was aware of he true identity. She hadn't been such a prominent part of the organization merely for her looks, though he had heard about her admirers, many of them being her subordinates, and not all of them being male.
That wasn't to say that he couldn't see why that would be the case. Upon seeing her consider taking a hot water bottle that might double as a canteen, he noted that her cleavage certainly had a jiggle reminiscent of the container. Her legs were obviously those of someone who exercised regularly, but male attention was drawn to the smooth and shapely length of them. And her face was certainly lovely enough, as he could be sure that any number of suitors would have loved to have those features approaching theirs in anticipation of a kiss.
Not that he particularly felt any real draw to her himself. His task was to keep an eye on things, and be ready to act if the situation called for it. No one wanted to let things proceed without a 'guard dog', after all, and he didn't have only one target.
Still, things were only starting up, and as he saw her pick up what looked like a satin bra with light lace trimming, he raised his brow and turned to his owner. "Well then, if you've had the wish to have support, what do you think of her?"
"What?" Ranma grunted, taking a moment to blink blindly at his sole male slave. "Who?"

"You don't sound too happy about it."
"Well, ya gotta realize that I ain't 'xactly had a lot of use of doctors before. I mean, Pop never really take me to them before. And I healed up alright... I guess. But...." the pigtailed boy trailed off, looking mildly thoughtful at the blonde.
"Yes?"
"Like ya said, it'll be nice ta have someone ta take care of that kinda stuff 'round. I'd like ta be able ta not be walkin' 'round with aches and pains, if I don't haveta."
"That's perfectly understandable," Kaworu admitted.
"And the thing is that if someone around me gets sick, like let's say a neighbor, it'd help too. Ain't like the Triads or the Yakuza always worry about others...."
"I can see that being true."
"Good. But ya know what? I'd just like it if she'll be able ta take care of me real good."
Watching Ritsuko add a pack of condoms to the pack of salves, creams, and braces that she was adding to her supplies, Kaworu let a small smile curve his lips. "I think that you won't have to worry about that."
Something about his words made Ranma stop for a moment, and furrow his brows, while:
