May We Be Truly Thankful

Shuuei has an encounter with Seiran, one evening and comes away with a new appreciation of the Emperor he has. Drama, I-4

The weight of Shuuei's armor pressed over his shoulders, and it still felt like he was being stripped naked. And not in a pleasant way.

If this is lazulisong's fault, then I owe thanks to both of you. It's absolutely wonderful-- well written, and on a subject that makes me bubble over with glee. I'm very impressed with the characterization, and the atmosphere that you create.

Am also most fascinated by your descriptions of the Ran family.

Perhaps shall bubble more later when I'm able to think coherently. Extreme glee!

*hearts* Glee is a wonderful thing! Thank you!

We've seen so little of the Ran family so far, but what we do know fascinates me. The way they divide up the prestige and duties of the clan head, the bit about not getting into politics, the implication that they frequently have geniuses crop up in the family... it makes them rather mysterious. And fun to poke at!
