Peaches and Thorns

Shoukun and Seien talk about freedom, and she gathers a promise from him. Drama, I-3

She sighed. "My little Seiran." Very quietly she added, "If the palace will be such a cage to you, I will be sad to see you walk back in and pick up your chains again."

*heartheartheart* Thank you!

Ah, it's good to know the imagery is working out. I dearly love poetic description and always squee when I hit a series that totally justifies using it. ^_^

*laughing* The boy has a while to go before he actually reaches well adjusted, especially since Shou and Senka are about to kick his feet out from under him, but he's getting there. And I really think that, once the Kou family knew he wanted to head back into the palace fray, they would do their best to make sure he was sane enough to succeed. I mean, anyone who raised Shuurei to be herself have got to be good parents.

... albeit definitely apart from common mores and morality. ^__^

More coming! I wrote like a madwoman this weekend, and have about nine stories/chapters stacked up.

Ooo, Shou and Senka. ::very happy:: No one's written either or those two yet, that I know of (well, with the exception of myself and majochan, and none of that's been posted yet) . . . I'll look forward to it very much.

::amused:: Speaking of wild animal allusions, in terms of my own writing I tend to liken Shou to a fox. It just seems so fitting. He even has yellow eyes . . . ah, he's fun to write for too, the smug bastard.

*laughing* Fox completely suits Shou; especially since people keep calling him 'tanuki' when they're annoyed with him. He is fun, isn't he? I keep wondering when Seien's going to snap and strangle him.
