Sarah Lockheart - A brave new world?

[Anastasia]

It's past six. He's late going on very late.

"It's a mystery," so agreeing, she settles in to watch more news. "So very unusual."

[Carthrat]

Sarah shortly finishes her noodles and returns to the kitchen. "I'll wash up," she graciously offers, taking advantage of the fact that there's really very little to do.

The night wears on, with Ranma not coming home immediately. In fact, it's not until past 8 when he does, fortune having you hear him come in when you're in the bathroom near the front. While currently preoccupied for a few moments at least, you can overhear.

"Ranma, it's past 8!" That's his father, not sounding that thrilled. "It's rather late to be out with no reason."

[Carthrat]

Sarah quickly finishes her business, eager to come out and interrogate/chastise Ranma. Even if she shouldn't, it's still fun to gossip about.. well, other people in general.

[Anastasia]

You miss a small segment as you come out, flushing and getting prepared. On coming out, you find Ranma standing in front of his father, who looks both tired and out of patience. "Went out with friends?" So repeating, his father shakes his head. "You're old enough to, but don't make your mother worry like that."

Ranma nods up and down quickly, almost breathless. "OkayIpromisebye!" Blurting that all out in aline, he turns, seeing you as he starts to head back. "Sarah-chan! You wouldn't believe it!"

[Carthrat]

"You don't say," replies Sarah, moving to head upstairs. "Was is *really* that great?"

[Anastasia]

"Ooooooh yeah," Ranma nods even quicker, taking your arm and dragging you back! (Or trying to, if Sarah is going to resist and react.)

[Carthrat]

Sarah lets Ranma drag her around the house, mainly because she wasn't going anywhere else, anyway. "Huh. So what happened? I figured you'd get bored and leave sooner," she confesses.
