on womenfolk

[avaricious]

I don't know why you're so interested in May of the Chang clan. If you've somehow forgotten, I do have over three dozen siblings besides her. In any case, Ran Fan has enough to deal with as it is, after everything that's happened this last month. Restarting old clan rivalries in Luceti is just asking for trouble.

On the other hand, if you want to find some attractive Amestrian girls, I would be grateful. The Colonel's assistant was a very attractive woman, but maybe you can find someone more around my age. Especially since Winry is already spoken for.

You shouldn't worry about me, my Lord. If she does show up, I'll be able to handle her.

[avaricious]

You don't need to handle her, Ran Fan. We're not at war with her clan. [Jeez, girl, be nicer to his relatives.]

[oftheyin]

And if she doesn't remember that?

[avaricious]

Then I'll just need to have a talk with her.

[oftheyin]

Still, I'll be there in case she does attack and help detain her. [Ling, you no fun.]

[avaricious]

Just as long as you don't hurt her too much. What would it say for my reputation if I let my bodyguard kill off one of my sisters?

[oftheyin]

[GAH!] I wasn't planning to kill her! It's just to make sure she doesn't try to attack you while you talk to her.

[avaricious]

It's for the best you don't. She'd just be more upset after coming back to life. [BESIDES. Killing siblings off is part of the whole succession thing.]

[oftheyin]

I really wasn't planning on killing anyone.

[avaricious]

I didn't really think you would anyway. It's never been the way we do things in the Yao clan.

[oftheyin]

Hopefully it's something she knows as well.

Do you think that she will come, and the others you're asking for as well?

[avaricious]

I don't think it's likely. I'll just have to make do with what I have! There's plenty of other beautiful women in Luceti already.

[oftheyin]

But, my Lord? How will they be able to come back home with us to Xing?

[avaricious]

Details like that aren't as important!

[oftheyin]

Then is- [there any reason to ask for all these girls? Nope, not gonna say that.]

Then I wish you the best of luck, my Lord. And as always, if you do find someone, I will protect them just as I protect you.

[avaricious]

[Because... he needs them. Okay.]

Of course, I know I can count on you for that.

[oftheyin]

I hope whomever you find doesn't mind having me around. [Or you know... you can just pick her.]

[avaricious]

Now why would they mind having you around? I know I don't and I've spent more time around you than anyone.

[oftheyin]

[CRAP! She's blushing.] Th-thank you.

[Now. What were they talking about? Were they even talking?]
