"Miss Uranus' skychariot has been prepared when she is ready to inspect it," said a tall insectile being.
"Oh, gee, uhm, I'm done!" Haruka announced.
Michiru rolled her eyes and muttered something about "tomboys and their toys" in such a soft breath that you'd need superhuman hearing or eavesdropping equipment to pick it up.
Of course, both were trained on her at the moment, so the comment was duly recorded.
The skychariot turned out to have a certain vague resemblence to a Roman chariot. It had a "cockpit" that was open in the back and a pair of wheels that looked like they could have gone on such a vehicle. That was where the resemblence ended, however.
"It... has a lot of chrome," said Ranma, trying to find something to say.
"Yeah, doesn't it!" said a more enthusiastic Haruka.
"Big engine," was Michiru's tactful comment.
"Yeah, doesn't it!" said a more enthusiastic Haruka.
The Roman-esque "cockpit" comprised about 1/10 of the total space of the skychariot. Everything else was engine as near as everyone could tell.
"Haruka. You're salivating. That is not... elegant." Michiru pointed out. She half expected Haruka to get some puppy-dog-eye look and ask her...
"Can we keep it?"
Michiru pinched the bridge of her nose. It was going to be a long trip back. And perhaps spend less time around the Inners.
Hotaru looked around, finding her gaze resting on Ranma at frequent intervals, and then jerking her eyes away and looking embarassed.
Setsuna noticed. So did (in the eavesdropping room) the Imperial Mother - Nodoka.
