"Maybe I can get something..." Tanya grumbled mentally. God, how she hated 'That time of the month'. She didn't put much hope into finding a tampon available there, or maybe a bottle of Midol, she was never that lucky.
"Ranma? Why would they bring G'nolga here? I mean, it's pretty much an out of the way hole in the wall." Tanya asked, following her mutual companion in suffering.
"Eh.." Ranma shrugged, "Bout a mile or so west of here you'll find the biggest public fishing port available on this side of the Continent." he hmmed, "Prolly the only means for normal people to travel to the Western continent anyway, since the gap in-between here and there isn't so big as it is anywhere else."
"What about the.. what was that place? The main guard?"
Ranma shrugged, pulling out a long piece of grass before popping on end into his mouth to chew on, "Main Guard's pretty much yer average military establishment. Navy, army all in one little package. Well, maybe in part. I can't really tell yah, my life here ain't exactly given me luxury of tourin the place much." Hmm, they should arrive a just under an hour. Good, more then enough time to explain things to Tanya.
"Tanya.." Ranma began, giving the woman a quick glance before returning his sight to the growing city in the distance. "When we get to the city, I need yah to be very very careful who you talk too, in fact.. I don't think you should let anyone actually see none of yah either."
"This has something to do with breaking me out of Sanctuary?" Tanya asked, amused. She pretty much knew what she could and couldn't do, but the guy liked to worry about things needlessly. His own way of getting rid of nervous tensions and the like.
"Well, yeah. Yah see, I took a boat from Trill to get you. Most people would think it smarter to take one from Trine, since it's a helluva lot closer to Neik island. I'm pretty sure they were waiting for us to return to the port there, since it's one of the few places you can actually land a boat on this side of the island with out worryin about the Dark zone or some kind a man eatin monster." Ranma explained, "So it's possible the place is in on even higher alert for us, even with G'nolga bein there. Wouldn't put it past no one to lay a trap for us."
"Eh.. right." Tanya allowed, pulling her cloak tightly around her petite form. "Are you really sure about this?" she bit her lip nervously, not that he noticed under her heavy cloak and with his back turned, "G'nolga may just tell you to go to hell, or even try to take you down herself."
Ranma shrugged, "Maybe." he allowed.
"Thats it? Don't you even have a plan?" Tanya snarled.
"Eer, yeah!" he chuckled nervously; scratching the back of his head in a way Tanya was quickly coming to realize was a nervous habit. "Look. It'll work out. Trust me." he flashed her a confident smile in hopes of calming her some.
Tanya wouldn't have it. "Sure sure. So I suppose you plan to walk in, beat up the guards, and some how convince G'nolga to side with you with absolutely no leverage other then your word to help her get revenge against the Diggers." she said bitterly, "Yep, with a plan like that, nothing can go wrong!" she finished in a sarcastic wit.
Needless to say, Ranma didn't detect anything wrong with the plan. "Sure! Man, wish I thought of that!" he nodded, smacking his fist into the palm of his hand. "Sounds like a plan!"
Tanya would have groaned, but her face was getting an up front personal view of mud.
