The horde of people settles in around the table. Kodachi brings out many plates and bowls of steaming hot food. It looks and smells good. And no poison tonight! That alone will be something to remember. She serves Ranma first, the unworthy cur. How your sister can lower herself to like such a miserable wretch is beyond you. You smile in anticipation. She serves you second, then works her way around... pointedly serving Akane last. You sigh. Some day she will appreciate Akane's true worth.
