Title: Inferring Rating: G Word Count: 127 Pairing: Team Girl Power (Buri/Thayet) Fight 1/B Summary: Buri’s questions mean more than they seem.
“Is it just me, or is this nation filled with disgustingly optimistic people?” Buri asked, flopping onto Thayet’s bed. She turned her head to one side, so she could watch Thayet unbraid her long hair.
“What brings this on?” Thayet asked, her voice low and amused. “More chats with the knight commander of the King’s Own?”
Buri snorted. It was well-known that the cheery large man drove her mad. “No, actually it was Alanna. She has so much hope for the king-to-be.”
“Most Tortallans do,” Thayet murmured, brushing her hair.
“Do you?” The question was heavy between them. Almost a challenge from the younger girl.
“Sometimes,” Thayet said.
Buri scowled, turning to face the wall. “I hate Tortall sometimes,” she said, her voice more surly than ever.

I LOVE this! You've captured Buri perfectly - as always! - and I love that Raoul drove her mad in the beginning. (And probably *still* does!)

Perfect! I love all the elements you brought together and how you told a realistic story without feeling the need to spell everything out to us. The way you described told us the feelings behind the words and made the story even more enjoyable.

I have never liked Buri and Thayet much before this. Great Job.

Hee, I love Buri in this, you show her perfectly! And it cracks me up that Raoul used to annoy her.

Thanks! ^__^ You'd love living inside my brain - it's all Buri, all the time (in tone).

Buri is right- Tortall IS full of disgustingly optimistic people.
