Re: Reishin and Seiran

I'm just butting into your conversation here. I think that Seiran left Ryuuki alone because he knows the upheaval that his presence would cause the Imperial Court. Remember what Sa tried to do when he learned of Seiran's identity.
Seiran would not want to be a puppet even at such a young age and he would not want Ryuuki hurt (he would be forced to fight or execute his brother)

I'm thinking also that Ryuuki's naivete is part of the reason. He constantly calls Seiran Seien and aniue and he is an adult imagine him as a child^^

Well, there's that... but this is the one person who Seiran loved most in the world, and now he's so near....he doesn't ever try and sneak a peek to see if Ryuuki's still all right? [shrugs] I guess that just seems.... off to me.
