"Never mind any of that, is that real gold?" Nabiki asked.
"Clothes? Can someone get them some real clothes?" Soun asked, not at all used to lithe and attractive mostly-naked harem dancer dark elves showing up in his house.
"Oh my," said Kasumi. "Sanri says that she's not really familiar with the old language I'm using, but that Ranma here rescued them from being tortured, gutted, and eaten."
"RANMA! HOW DARE YOU GO AROUND SAVING innocent girls when you have a..." Soun's voice slowly trailed off as the situation penetrated. "Oh. Well. That's not so bad then."
"That looks like real gold," said Nabiki.
Kasumi asked a question in Elvish. Sanri answered in the same language. This was repeated twice. Sanri gestured to Ranma and made a gesture of some kind that didn't look at all impolite.
"So is it real gold?" Nabiki asked.
"These two are slaves who escaped being sacrificed to some sort of spider goddess," explained Kasumi. "As twins they would have been the high point of the ceremony - tortured for days, and finally their still beating hearts would have been ripped out of their chests and given to the goddess to devour. Due to Ranma's intervention, they escaped all that."
"If that's real gold, it would be... ick. I hate spiders," Nabiki said before returning to eyeing all the pretty pretty gold.
"Spiders," said Akane. She didn't like spiders either. Well heck. Could she pound Ranma for saving girls from being tortured and eaten? "Wait a minute, I thought they were going to be eaten."
Kasumi asked for clarification and listened to the answer. "Different group. They escaped from dark elves but were so exhausted that they ended up captured by goblins."
"I see," said Akane. Well, the two did look pretty tired out. "Why do they have P-chan?"
Ranma answered that. "We ran into 'P-chan' on the way back. I picked him up to bring 'im back here but she wanted to hold him for some odd reason."
P-chan stirred himself, looked up to see he was being cradled against two warm and firm mounds. P-chan fainted again.
Unri looked down at the little piglet, knowing it was a human boy, but not knowing why he kept waking up and collapsing again.
Sanri gestured towards Ranma and asked Kasumi a question.
Kasumi replied with another question.
Sanri answered and was herself surprised with the human girl's reaction.
"So is it real gold?" Nabiki asked.
"They wanted to ask where Ranma would be sleeping," said a somewhat surprised Kasumi. "Apparently they don't want to be separated from him. I'm not sure if I understand the term correctly but they seem to have sworn themselves to be his clan retainers or something along those lines."
