Kicking the crap out of bandits and bounty heads had gotten him PLENTY of Jade currency, thus he decided it was time to buy a house. Problem was, like Earth finding a suitable one for your tastes was not easy task.
" Least I can stop camping out in the woods and sleep in a nice warm bed." Ranma mused. He could have gone to an inn, but people would get suspcious of his timing and appearance whenever the Guyver showed up. Besides if he showed up AFTER the Guvyer did by a long shot it would lower the chances of his identity being blown.
Ranma was broken from his thoughts as he gently bumped into someone. " Whoops sorry about th....Sheila?!"
Sheila looked up and smiled upon recongizing the pigtailed martial artist. "RANMA! Its been a long while! I haven't seen you since the picnic thing at the Retreat."
" Yeah, say did you and Gar not get the invitations for Brit & Stripe's wedding? I was sure we sent you two some."
Sheila blinks. " We got invitations? Funny Gra never mentioned...any. GAH, Gar you idiot! I'll bet my life savings the moron tossed them out because he's still too lovesick to see Britanny married off to someone else. Oooh I'm gonna KAPOWIE him for not giving me MY invite anyway!"
" Well that wasn't nice of Gar, but I can sympathize a bit with his reasoning on not wanting to go." Ranma muttered lightly.
" Eh?"
" Its nothing Sheila, really." Ranma said dismissivly.
" You liked her too didn't you?"
Ranma couldn't help but give a small smile. " Your very observant, yeah I did, and well I'm surprised I held out as well as I did at the wedding. Reason why I came to Jade was to clear my head and purge my mind of this damn crush. As well as sneak some training in."
Sheila patted his shoulder. " At least you've taken it alot better than Gar has. So how long have you been in Jade?"
" Uh a few weeks I just got to this area and I figured its a good enough place to get a home to stay in so I ain't always camping out." Ranma replied.
" Hmm, do you need a place to work?"
" Maybe, why do the Edge Guard have an opening or something?" Ranma said raising an eyebrow.
" Not exactly but the pay is good and someone of your skill would make an excellent Edge Guard member." Sheila said with a light smirk.
" Hmm, would be nice to have a steady income instead of trying to make a living whooping the crap outta bandits for money."
" Is that how you've earned your money so far?"
" Yeah, I got lucky enough with a few bounties." Ranma said, hidding the truth he did most of his bandit busting as the Guyver.
" I see, well I on patrol right now, but I am patrolling the area of town where the more prospective housing for sale is. Care to join me?"
" I'd be honored." Ranma said gratefully.
