Fourth Erhu Song | Video | February 11, morning

[flowering_tea]

[This morning, Shuurei is on her balcony and looking up at the sky. It’s nice that the weather has cleared although she still finds the grinning sun weird.] That thunderstorm a few days ago was unexpected. [Her smile is a bit pained as she recalls that evening.] Do they occur often here this time of year? They were only during the summer in Saiunkoku.

Greetings. [bows] I spoke to Lord Miles some time ago but with everything that has happened recently, there hasn’t been a good opportunity to introduce myself yet. My name is Shuurei and I’ll be helping with investigations when I’m not busy with my clerk duties at the Watch in the evenings.

I worked for the Censorate back home and was a bookkeeper before becoming a government official so I’m used to searching through old records and ledgers. [She had helped discover embezzlers and art forgers that way.] I would be happy to assist with any research needed for cases and look forward to working with you. [smiles]

[video; agency filter] Sorry for the lateness! It's been crazy here

[She smiled happily since her father was her favorite person in the world.] Yes, father encouraged me to study even though women weren’t allowed to become government officials when I was growing up. And Lord Kouyuu was a great help.

Oh, I see. I suppose quiet can be good at times. [Some quiet would have been nice in the last few weeks before the exams. She, Eigetsu, and Hakumei had been stuck staying in a dorm with that noisy peacock Ryuuren. Whenever he wasn’t sleeping or eating, he was terribly playing his flute!]

[She nods.] Yes, the Imperial Exams are considered difficult. They’re only administered once a year and last a full week. And those who wish to take the Exams are usually required to pass a series of provincial exams over the course of a year. Although I was permitted to take the exams after only an aptitude test.

[video; agency filter] It's alright! Work has been draining my RP drive. ;A;

It sounds very impressive, Miss Shuurei. With those qualifications, it's no wonder you wound up in the Agency. I'm certain you'll be able to contribute a great deal.
