Another odd thing, there was no heat to her aura, none whatsoever. It was like she was in the Soul of Ice, but it was obvious by her attitude and inobservance of things around her that she wasn't. She just lacked heat. She almost reminded him of Saffron, actually, but cold instead of hot.
Besides that, he was still looking toward his brother and sister. He didn't understand most of the English so he wasn't particularly paying much attention to the woman leading them about.
Rogue, that's what the fighter had said her name was, covered herself up a lot, and she was very pale. Almost as pale as Kodachi, in fact. The white stripe in her hair didn't surprise him much, not after all the hair colors he'd seen. She was looking at him every so often, a searching look in her eyes.
His brother, Kurt, was about the same, as far as attitude was concerned. He was anxious and fidgity. He also seemed to be a lot more hyper, bouncing along every so often, sort of like Ranma did when dealing with Ryouga.
Both of them moved like they knew how to fight, and Ranma certainly noticed that. Though, they weren't up to Neriman standards on that alone. He assumed that they each had powers that made them more dangerous than they looked.
The woman said something to Lucretia and she shrugged and turned to Ranma, pointing to a room next to them.
"Your room," she said simply in Japanese.
"Thanks," Ranma said. "Hey, do you think you could help me out here?"
"Depends," the girl said shrugging. "What do you want?"
"Those two are supposed to be my brother and sister," Ranma said. "Maybe you could help me talk to them."
Lucretia blinked and looked at the other two and then back to Ranma.
"Sure, why not," she said.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Ranma asked.
"It was either here or jail," Lucretia said shrugging.
"Eh?" Ranma said, sweating a bit.
"I got drunk and knocked some buildings down," Lucretia added haphazardly. "That Storm chick got the judge to hand me over to the bald guy instead of the Vault."
"Uh huh," Ranma said.
