[Shuurei is bundled up in a pink cloak with fuzzy white trim and is carrying her erhu as she looks through the stalls. She spots some white hair that looks somewhat familiar-the boy that she had met in front of the mission board-and goes over to say hello.]

Good evening, Bakura. Happy New Year.

[also bows] It’s different but it certainly seems festive. The celebrations at home usually had dragon dances and firecrackers.

[flowering_tea]

So, New Year's celebrations are held at shrines where you come from? There would be fireworks sometimes but firecrackers were more common in Saiunkoku.

Sorry for the lateness!

I see. In my country, it was usual to visit relatives and friends at the New Year. And officials would appear before the Emperor to offer their greetings. [The last time she had celebrated a new year, she had made a long trip back to the capital to offer greetings as the co-governor of Sa Province.]

Well, the firecrackers were also said to scare away evil spirits where I came from.

I suppose that would be less expensive. [Of course, being the thrifty person she is, Shuurei thinks of the cost advantage.] Uncle Kurou didn’t live in the capital although he visited during the last new year back home. [Actually Shuurei didn’t know many of her relatives since her father had been kicked out of the clan for declining to be the leader.] Mostly, it was our friends who visited.

Sorry for the delay! Was writing until the last minute for my app. ._.;

[nods] It's nice to celebrate with friends at the New Year. Last year, I cooked a feast and we had a party in the archives. It's strange to think that I'm spending a New Year in a place with only one of my friends from home. [She wondered if everyone was okay back home although she had been told that she should return to the moment she left when sent back by BREW.]

[flowering_tea]

I suppose. [sighs a little] He's very eccentric and can be exhausting to deal with.

But most of the people I've met here have been nice.
