As soon as she was sat down in the boat, Tanya placed a hand on her chest to try and control her breathing, moving at that speed was exhilerating, but a bit scary.
After a few moments of calming down, Tanya looked at Ranma. "So why the hell was that Dwarf afraid of you?"
Ranma blinked and shrugged, it felt kind of nice that someone didn't fear him just on sight. "To be honest..."
"Yes?"
"This whole world is fucked up!"
Tanya nodded. "I know. But then again, you could scare people pretty easilly."
Ranma rolled his eyes. "You have NO idea. I've been in this fucking place for nine months, and from day ONE I was labeled a monster and hunted."
Tanya nodded, thinking about how the people in Sactuary had been treating her for the last three months because of what she did to the Armsmaster's family. She then sighed sadly as she remembered just WHY she was in there.
Hearing that sigh, Ranma raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl in front of him. "Not that it's any of my business but what the hell did they put you there for? You speak out against the Armsmaster or something?"
Tanya's visage darkened. "Nothing like that. I tried to kill her daughter three months ago."
Now, before Ranma had gone through what he did while on Jade, he might've kicked her out of the boat, but after being here for nine months, he could see her side more easilly than before. But he did look at her curiously. "Yeesh. You hated the Armsmaster so much you tried to kill her daughter?"
Tanya shook her head. "Not the Armsmaster, just her daughter! I used to be the High Priestess of El Dorado, I was going to marry the Prince, Strype, the man I've loved before I knew what love was, and then SHE..." Tanya started to get angrier and angrier at the thought of what happened.
Ranma raised an eyebrow while rowing. "She?"
"BRITANNY DIGGERS!"
Ranma blinked. "Britanny Diggers... Is she the Armsmaster's daughter?"
"YES! That, that ALLEY CAT, stole my beloved from me, right from underneath my eyes!"
Ranma frowned, for some reason, he could relate to that. "What? Did she pretend to be your friend, only to sleep with him behind your back?"
Tanya shook her head. "She, she just stole him from me, with her looks and everything! I tried to win Strype back, but I couldn't. I had to do something, so I kept trying to get her out of the picture."
Ranma grunted at that. For some reason, that struck a chord close to home with him. 'No, I know why, she's acting just like Shampoo and Ukyou did when they tried to get rid of Akane.'
'Still, she doesn't seem evil. Let's see here... Hmm, got it!' "Hey, um, I don't think I got your name."
"Tanya'Rey."
"Ranma Saotome. Now that we know each other better here, did you try and match this Britanny person up with someone else?"
Tanya sighed, and placed her head in the palms of her hands. "I tried. I so tried. But it is SO hard to do so since she's the last Werecheetah."
Ranma nodded and sighed. "Okay. Not much I can say. But man, that Armsmaster and her family seem to screw people over without giving a shit."
Tanya nodded. "No kidding."
"I mean, I didn't even DO anything to her and she and her Weaponsmaster friends label me public enemy number one."
Tanya blinked. "You're kidding! You're NOT kidding are you?"
Ranma sighed. "Wish I was."
Tanya shook her head. "That's rough. But what can you do about it?"
"I get here. I save a family from a group of bandits. Next day, I'm up to my fucking neck in DEATH SQUADS!!" Tanya winced at that. "Land of peace, beauty, and tolerance my ebony-furred ass!"
Tanya sighed. "Sorry. People here are pretty nice, if you don't piss them off. But I suppose that they hate you though. And people don't really need a reason to hate, just being different is enough I suppose."
Ranma blinked. "I guess."
