"If that's what you think of as 'slightly painful', I'm not sure I
really want to know what you consider to be 'really hurts'."

I checked twice, and I still might not have seen it, but Eiko did not say
the words "slightly painful."  Just chop off the quotes or another
word/phrase that was said.  Don't use single quotes for "really hurts"
either.  That is Ranma saying it.

"slightly painful" was used in chapter 6.

Also, I think the quotes around Ranma's speech there is just fine. I
take it to mean that for those two words, Ranma did his best to match
the speaking style/cadence/marmoset of Eiko, in an attempt to mock.
In this case, I expect that Ranma dropped into a monotone for it, as
that is how I hear Eiko's lines in my head as I read them. But thats
just me.

It's not just you, Jay. That's *exactly* how I intended this section to be 
read.
