"Yes," said Elle, studying her reflection in a window. Long blonde hair, blue eyes, short - maybe 5'1" or so, busty. By drow standards, still fairly busty but by high elf standards - VERY busty. That WAS one of the reasons, according to gossip amongst drow women, that high elf women tended to get angry at a drow woman even when the drow in question wasn't planning something. Which was admittedly rare.
Tight waist, wide hips, yes - this form was quite adequate for such things.
"Whatta ya mean, 'centuries'?" asked Ranma.
"From the very incomplete briefing I received, while being shoved through the Gate," said Elle, "this sort of elf generally lives close to a thousand years. Aging is really only notable in the last century or so."
"A... thousand... years?" asked Ranma. "Young for most of that time?"
"Yes, is this a problem?" asked Elle.
"Ah, no. Gonna take getting used to I guess," said Ranma. "Mebbee they won't kill me for this one."
"Well, whoever 'they' are," said Elle, letting some menace creep into her voice, "they are in for a rude awakening if they think me completely powerless in this incarnation."
"Oh?" asked Ranma, fingering his ears briefly as he resumed walking. "You're a martial artist?"
"Sword-dancer and mage primarily," said Elle. "A thin shadow of what I once was, but not entirely defenseless."
Ranma took that to mean she favored a sword-based martial arts style. "Hmmm. I'll have ta get you a bokutoh or something then."
"I've got a sword," said Elle, touching her charm bracelet. Her outfit changed and there was a European-style hand-and-half sword in her hand.
"Nah," said Ranma. "That won't work. Ya go swinging around a real metal sword like that, and it's gonna cause even more of a fuss. Use a wooden practice blade or modify the style some. Kuno can get away with that stuff cause he's rich and nuts. Anyway, I can fight my own fights."
"Except that because this body was formed with your curse as the basis," stated Elle. "I'm told this world has a legend of 'Corsican Twins' which applies to the situation between us. Any injury done to you affects me, and injury done to me affects you, my fiance."
"Excuse me?" asked Ranma.
"We are linked, for now at least," said Elle. "Injuries or pleasures done to one are felt by both."
"No, my curse was... I gotta check this out," said Ranma. Zip zoom zing!
"Fast," remarked Elle before shrugging and figuring that when in Waterdeep. Zip zoom zing!
SPLASH!
"WAHHHHHHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" said a male Ranma in the fountain.
