It was a rather quiet and efficient affair as the group got Akane cleaned up, especially since the girl in question was really relaxed at the moment. Other than her unconscious desire to stay near Ranma causing her to move to be as close to him as she could, she was pretty easy to work with. Kasumi very politely cleaned off her sister, and made certain that there was nothing messy left behind. Then she was quietly bundled up by Haruka in the blanket that Nabiki fetched, allowing Ranma time to clean himself up and dress.
As any sort of relaxation with a soak wasn't going to be possible, given the immediacy of what had happened, he did his business as quickly as he could, and headed over to join those who were taking of Akane. Not that he was really that bothered by the lost opportunity. Rather, he wanted to see Akane resting comfortably, and as he came in, he saw that she was settled very nicely. But it took him stroking her cheek to get her to totally at peace, as she smiled in her sleep and snuggled into her bed, pressing her face into his hand.

And the fact of the matter was that he did have a nice body, with a very nice manhood that he'd put to very good use.
A girl could certainly consider someone like Ranma to be desirable, and this sister found herself thinking that he might be suitable for her as well. It wasn't something that she'd just run in to, but as she thought about it, she realized that it made sense. He was proving to be a rather rare guy, and one did not simply pass up on someone like him. There had to be reasons to do so, and at the moment, it looked like there might just be more reasons to go ahead and approach him for herself. All that she had to do was figure out if she wanted to go ahead with it, and if she did, what did she want to do about it.
