Naga quickly developped five basic methods to deal with any situation Ranma could get into.
One, Lots of hugs, her child loved to get close and cuddle. He'd even sleep with her at every opportunity.
Two, a stern tone, he was a reckless little ball of energy and lapped up approval so she never really had to punish him for anything.
Three, Food, he had her appetite that is all.
Four, offering to teach him magic, when she used a basic spell in front of him for the first time his eyes lit up even brighter then the spell itself. She was absolutely shocked when he mimicked her and cast a lighting spell then thrilled when he practically begged to learn more.
Five, a good long laugh, at first it would cause him to cringe slightly then he seemed to bring it upon himself to learn how to do it just as well as her. Needless to say Lina visited as few times as courtesy allowed.
These five rules held firm and true for the first three years of his life as Naga took to wearing a silk gown so that cuddling up to Ranma would be more pleasurable for both of them. "Ranma where did you goooo? You left mommy to wake up all aloooone!" she called out playfully walking through the castle to the courtyard where he'd often sneak off to to play. She fully expected to hear him laugh and run out from god knows where and hug her like he usually did. She walked past an arched entrance to the courtyard and the sight almost made her heart stop.
"Ranma!! What's gotten into your head to reach into afire areyouttrying to givemeaheartattack!?" she demanded her words running together in her panic. "Restoration!" she called out as she sprinted forwards but the light didn't touch him, but that could only happen if he had no injuries.
"Chestnuts?" he offered holding up a hand of the steaming hot treat.
"Wh-h-how did you do that?" Naga asked taking the offered handful. (Hey it's Naga, concerned mother or not she can still eat out a buffet)
"You 'member what Xlos said bout pas life?" Ranma asked her and she nodded. According to Xellos he had been a warrior without peer with only the grandmasters well over ten times his age able to defeat him in combat. "This, special trainin I member it makes hands fast so I can hit lots and lots o' times and even deflect arrows. Gotta grab the nuts before get burnt." Ranma explained and Naga nodded as they snacked.
"Alright but listen to me Ranma, if you do anything this crazy again at least have me or your auntie around to use healing magic. I... I lost my mother right in front of me and I won't loose you too." Naga said pulling Ranma into a hug and he tossed away the nuts and returned it. "Now come on it's nearly lunch." she said standing and picking him up with her. "Aqua Create!" she said shooting a stream of water onto the fire.
One feeding frenzy later and Ranma had run off, Naga laughed at this, it was one of his favorite games where he'd try and escape Naga using all her magic to track him down... problem was he was damned good at it, but Naga was getting better. Much better as Naga flew down towards Ranma who was sprinting as fast as he could and jumped onto a floating leaf then off again to cross a river but was caught in midair.
"Gotcha! Now... how did we get so far from Saillune doing that?" Naga asked and Ranma chuckled nervously. Looks like they finally overdid it.
