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."

the thing I like about ryuuki is that there is this fine line (which he plays oh so well) between innocence (or idiocy) and cunning (or genius). so, he knows some things - but not all things.

which i think is very realistic considering his upbringing and his status in SaiMono society.
