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?"

Oooh, I hope you will allow this bunny out in due time. It's one I'd very much like to see, since that subject is one I think about often . . . another one of those poignant moments that makes my chest hurt in a most delicious way, so I've been hoping someone will attempt it. I don't feel equal to the task, myself.

Well, the bunny hasn't vanished overnight, so it may be a keeper. *considers* I think it would have to start with the moment Shou suggests that both Seiran and Shuurei come to the palace, because it seems like that would bring a whole lot of things he's done his best to more or less ignore and forget roaring back to the surface.

Yes indeed. Ryuuki comments on how every corner of the palace just brings up bad memories for him; as soon as he walks onto the grounds Seiran's not going to be able to avoid remembering things. The good (Ryuuki), and a whole lot of the bad . . .
