Sarah Lockheart - A brave new world?

[Carthrat]

Sarah drops her bag in her room, then starts kitchening, both setting up the oven and pouring herself a drink. "Thirsty, Ranma?" she calls, getting a second glass out (he's so predictable).

[Anastasia]

No reply from Ranma, as you get yourself your juice. You do know he was a little bit behind you, so it's really no surprise.

[Carthrat]

Sarah leaves a glass of juice out for Ranma, and heads up to her room with hers, getting changed into some slacks and a t-shirt before heading to the TV, intent on watching the news.

[Anastasia]

The news isn't quite on yet, though sitting in front of the TV is quite a good thing. Restful and refreshing, putting your feet up to rest. A few minutes pass in peace and harmony, before your 'brother' returns. He looks mildly excitied, interested and worked up. "Sarah," he calls, coming into the room, his broad yet lean face nearly glowing.

[Carthrat]

"Hey, Ranma," calls Sarah. "There's some juice in the kitchen for you, if you're thirsty. "What's up, though? You look.. excited."

[Anastasia]

"Yeah,"  he nods quickly, speaking so very fast and gesturing with his hands. "One of my friends knows where the giant lives, or thinks he does. We're going to go this evening. Wanna come," he asks, rapid fire.

[Carthrat]

"Not really," replies Sarah, shaking her head. "I mean, think about it, Ranma. How would you like it if people started.. spying on you, just because you looked a little different? It just doesn't seem very nice."

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, but it's worth it," Ranma nods quickly to your scolding. "This is really interesting, isn't it? You sure," he asks again, excitement not really dented by your words. Siiigh.

[Carthrat]

"I know how it feels, Ranma," snaps Sarah. "Do you think I *like* getting gawked at by half a street when I walk down? It must be even worse for him!"

Normally, she wouldn't be so snappy, or abrupt, but having had the same sort of 'outsider' treatment since she came to Japan, it's become an issue that Sarah isn't terribly fond of, and somewhat adamant towards.

Not that her words ever seemed to garner anything but the occasional insincere apology...

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, yeah..." Ranma nods along, the motions being gone through. He easily weathers the storm of Sarah, "But it's worth it," he answers simply, as if that's everything. "I mean...aren't you curious, too?"

[Carthrat]

"He deserves to be left alone," replies Sarah, sighing. "I'll stay, thanks."

[Anastasia]

"No fun," Ranma grumps, turning away with an almost cute pout. "Tell Mom I'll be late for dinner, okay?" With that, Ranma turns and goes off, for whatever strange person hunt h as gripped his fancy.

[Carthrat]

"Right," replies Sarah. "But you so owe me for not telling her what you're doing," she adds, returning to the TV.

[Anastasia]

A grunt in reply, as  you are left alone again. How quaint.

It's a half of an hour or so later when your adoptive Japanese 'mother' returns. A rather short lady, slender and nice enough. Very stereotypical, though she stops to smile to you as she passes to the kitchen. "How was school, Sara?" she speaks a little slowly, something she settled into for you quickly.
