Normally Gar would've done something to someone molesting his sister, but didn't this time when he noticed something, Sheila's eyes were closed, sure, she had tear tracks on them, but that was from what Tirga had said to her. But Sheila was smiling, her tail wagging slowly and she was purring in contemptment as she hugged Ranma. Because Sheila was looking so happy Gar couldn't bring himself to be angry at Ranma. Though the two of them would 'talk' later. He went over to Dragen, with Raphiel following him. "What can I do for you two?"
Raphiel smiled, "Can I get some of that stew of yours that's good?"
"Sure. And you Gar?"
"Ale."
Dragen shrugged and went to get their orders. A couple minutes later he came back and gave them what they ordered, "That'll be 5 copper pieces total."
Gar blinked, "That was cheep." He handed over the money and Dragen took it. "Why so cheep? Normally it's at least 3 bronze pieces." Raphiel nodded, but dug into his meal.
"Simple, buisness has been good lately, so I can afford it just this once, besides, Sheila came in here earlier and I had a feeling that you'd show up sooner or later."
Gar nodded as he took a swig of his ale. "Yeah, Sheila ran off in tears and Raphiel and I went to look for her."
Dragen nodded, "So what happened? Did she catch Tirga doing some girl again or what?"
Gar shook his head, "It's worse, we were all at Nali's clinic, getting healed up after a surprise attack from some bandits and well, most of us had to go outside cause Sheila had to get undressed and get healed up. Tirga made a stupid comment before we went outside, Ranma, the one sitting with Sheila right now, cloncked him over the head and we all went outside. I started to talk to Tirga about that and then he made a rather mean comment about how Sheila should stay in human form more often, because her hybrid form is so plain."
Dragen winced, "And Sheila came outside to hear this right?"
Gar nodded, "Yeah, she then took off in tears and was going pretty fast." He then looked at where Sheila was sitting and had to stop himself from going over there and beating that perverted mixed breed of a Werecat up for rubbing his sister's butt. "So how did this happen?"
"You mean with Sheila and that Werecheetah? What's his name?"
Raphiel spoke up, "His name is Ranma. He's a Werecheetah? I thought Nali said he was a Sabertooth."
Dragen blinked, "Huh?"
Gar shook his head, "Ranma has two different hybrid forms that we know of, that one is a Werecheetah, he has another form which switches the black and white color scheme of a Werecheetah around and he gains sharp fangs."
"Fangs? But all Werecats have fangs don't they?"
"I mean fangs that go down to his chin."
"Ah, I see."
"Anyway, how did that happen?"
"Well, Sheila came in looking a bit banged up and all depressed, she ordered a bottle of scotch and some stew and asked for a corner table and to be left alone. I gave her the first two easily enough, but not long after that Ranma came in and went over to her, I tried to stop him, but he convinced me to let him speak to Sheila. Well, then he went over to talk to Sheila and then she started crying out her pain onto his chest."
Dragen smiled a bit, "The two of them talked a bit and eventually, Ranma picked Sheila up and placed her in his lap and she seriously calmed down." Dragen shook his head, "I've never seen Sheila calm down so quickly before. So if you can, hold off your "big-brother-to-little-sister's-prospective-boyfriend" speech until later okay."
Gar blinked, "I don't know what you mean."
Dragen shook his head, "You know what I mean. I've known you for several years Gar, and I know you want your sister happy, however, you're also highly protective of her and her feelings. My advise is to you, stand back and see how this works out, be there for her if she needs comfort, but otherwise stay back and just see what happens."
Gar grumbled, but took the advise, "I can't say I will. But I'll try, for Sheila's happiness if nothing else."
Dragen nodded and looked at the Sheila and Ranma, Ranma was still feeling Sheila's butt and the two were purring just a bit louder than before. Sheila's tail was wagging back and forth in apparent happiness. "Besides, I think he's a decent enough person."
Gar nodded and continued to drink his ale.
