Ranma found himself in a mid-air glomp with a very familiar individual. "Heya, K'ontour."
"I miss you so much," gushed the affectionate girl as she snuggled herself into what she felt was a proper glomp, using her flight ability to keep the two of them dangling in the air.
"Uh yeah, you've been gone a whole three days," said Ranma. "So how's your cousin?"
"K'oriander is very bouncy," said K'ontour.
"Uh. Yeah. I suppose she is," said Ranma. "I think you've got the wrong word there."
"Robin took her out to date," said K'ontour, turning loose Ranma so she could clasp her hands in front of herself.
"Oof," said Ranma as he hit the ground.
"They went on the Wheel Of The Ferris and shared liquid refreshment," gushed K'ontour happily.
"Sounds good," said Ranma as he picked himself up and dusted off.
"There are three star-faring species where such activity would constitute a marriage proposal," gushed further K'ontour.
"Are one of those races Tamaranians?" asked Ranma.
"No, at least I have not heard so," said K'ontour.
"Then that's fine," said Ranma, walking away. "If Robin was married, I'd probably have to send him a note saying so. Some of your customs ain't exactly intuitive."
"Oh no," said K'ontour, floating along and only occasionally bumping into stationary objects. "Tamaranian marriages are not that dissimilar from Earth marriages. My cousin and I discussed such things at Tower Of The Titans. We especially enjoyed the 'movie night' feature as it turned out that the Beastly Boy's movie rental was not the one that the case featured."
"Oh?" asked Ranma, a little absently as he leaped up, grabbed K'ontour's leg, and dragged her down before she could hit her head on a traffic signal.
"Yes, the outer encasement stated that the movie was of 'Calling All Monsters' but the actual movie was something called 'The Stepford Desperate House Wives' when it became obvious to the others that this was not the right film," said K'ontour. "It contained much useful data about Earth mating practices."
"Wha?" asked Ranma. "That don't sound good at all."
"They shut down the 'movie night' but I exhorted my cousin to watch it later on with myself," said K'ontour. "It was quite educational."
"Maybe I SHOULD send Robin a warning note," said Ranma, giving serious thought to the idea.
"I had no idea about the use of Earth food in such rituals," said K'ontour. "Or that Earth females regarded the setting of traps and ambush to be proper protocol for dating."
"That's it," decided Ranma. "Where's a phone? I've GOT to warn Robin."
