Not delusions.  From what he's seen, he's got every right to believe that
that's true.

	Only if he is very selective with what he remembers seeing and 
distorts that to near delusional levels.  Which is what I said.  Though not 
in enough words I guess

What I'm saying is what has Ryoga seen to convince him that Ranma
*wouldn't* do something like that?

I'll name a couple, if you'd like.  Examples:  Japanese Nanniichuan, when
he absolutely doesn't want to go into the locker room and see the (mostly)
naked Akane.  Evil Oni - Takahashi didn't draw him in there looking ashamed
in the pictures for no reason, you know.  And as a more general statement
of evidence, every (IIRC) time Akane is shirtless, Ryoga doesn't attempt to
get a peek at her.

	Of course not Ryouga's the shyest member of the cast.  You're trying 

No, it's Happousai. ;)

to prove he's not being P-chan out of lecherous intent, but that's not what 
he's being accused of.  Ryouga doesn't want to look at her, he wants her to 
act affectionately toward him.  THAT is the single thing that motivates him 
to be P-chan.  

Just affectionately is what you're saying?  

Well, that would be *one* of the reasons he does it, but trying to protect
her seems to be his main reasoning, with that as more of a side-benefit.

    The older man, Genma, snorted.  "Believe me, boy.  The Conerians aren't
the brightest bunch around, but they know a Pravok name when they hear one.
 One whisper of our real names to them, and we're goners."  He made a
gesture of a sword slicing through a neck, which was enough to quell any of
Ryoga's complaints.
    "Fine, fine," Ryoga consented with a sigh.  "I still think it's sort of
a dishonorable thing to do, hiding our identities and all."
    Genma smirked.  "Better dishonorable than dead, boy.  You'd best
remember that."
