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."

*happy sigh* I love Shuurei, she's so active. The last two lines are just perfect. (And, like everyone else, I like the consideration she shows for the books.)

Glad to hear you liked it! That's definitely one of the things I like best about Shuurei; she'll never just sit around moaning, she'll go /do/ something about whatever's wrong.
