The Color of the Phoenix's Tail: Part Three

Shuurei likes her life but wants it to be something more. Drama, I-3

"Shuurei?" Seiran came to stand beside her, leaving his own scrolls. "Is anything wrong?"

She mustered a smile for him; Seiran always worried so much when she was upset. "No, it's all right. I was just..." her voice wavered a little, despite everything she could do, "wishing I could be an official and do something good with all this."

They really do make an awesome pair. We haven't seen it yet . . . but I fear for the WORLD if they ever decide to work together on something. No one would be able to stand in their way.

::hugs her OTP:: It's so shiny . . . and so bizarrely rare . . .

*sighs* Yeah. Really, it seems like very few people appreciate Shuurei. /Or/ how big her dilemma is. Of course, that isn't entirely western fen's fault, since the anime, at least, hasn't made it clear that she really would be going into lifelong confinement if she married the Emperor. But still! Talk about an epic conflict.
