“Nah." Ranma was gazing back with her best puppy-dog pleading gaze. "Look, I’m really here to help.”
He continued to stare as she began to fidget with her pigtail. “And you’re not here to ask about lessons.”
Hope seemed to flare for a moment in her, but then sank back down. “Nah, I’m pretty darn good.” She continued to fidget. “Why ain’t you believing me?”
The glare went more bleak. “Are you here for the funeral? It was several hours ago.”
“What?” Man, I stepped in it now. “No, no, I’m not here for the funeral. Oh, er, sorry t’hear about yer wife, though.”
“Ah. I thank you for your words.” Soun got out of his formal stance, and bowed his head slightly. “I apologize for my rudeness, but I would respectfully ask that you leave at this time.”
Ranma mimicked what the older man had been doing earlier, and stared back. “Wait, yer not interested to know WHY I’m here t’help?”
“You have come at an inopportune time.” He stood back up, and gestured vaguely around the room. “Perhaps if you come back tomorrow, I would be more able to assist you in whatever it is you are trying to help me with.”
With an exasperated groan, Ranma threw up her hands. "Fine! I'm here to challenge the dojo! Happy now?"
