Dragon's Whisker

Civil war erupts, and Seien returns. Drama with Angst, I-4

There were screams in the roar of voices, now, and Shuurei flinched from the sound, drawing closer against Seiran, looking up at them both with wide eyes. "Is it..." she had to stop and swallow, "is it really going to be all right?"

Oh, ow. God, poor Seiran. *pets him* Senka and Shou are ice cold, aren't they?

[branchandroot]

They really are. *pets Seiran* Poor guy; it doesn't take /all/ that long for him to realize how like his father he is, and that just winds him up in knots. *wry* Not that I'm writing that story as we speak, or anything.

Well, more angst is always good, right? ::pleased:: It's okay, Seien, you have adorable Ryuuki and Shuurei to overload you with cute when you get too cold. If either of them alone was enough for you in-series, think of what both together could do!

[branchandroot]

*chuckles* Yeah, and when the Power of Cute fails, we have the Power of Bloodyminded Stubbornness, in the form of Seiein's advisors-to-be. Because sometimes Ryuuki is just a wee bit too uncritical of his beloved aniue.

Incidently, I thought it was a nice segue on your part to Seien's future advisors, in the last installment. Forgot to mention it back then . . .

*beams* Thank you! I wanted Shoukun to get a promise from him, something that would help balance him, but something different than she gets him to promise in the novel. Because she's coolness incarnate, and sees all, and knows what her boy needs.
