Crios's walk to the Nightmare Guardian's room is slow, impeded by his own mixed thoughts and emotions. Deep inside he knows that even with as comfortable as he is around the creature, the presence of the guardian is causing a fair amount of trouble. [i]'He doesn't even need to be doing anything. I've seen it in the eyes of all those who work for me. When I leave the room to check on him, when I return. . .Even when none have had any reason to think of him they seem ill at ease. It's like his energy is slowly seeping outwards'[/i] The fox man shakes his head, his tail lashing back and forth. [i]'It's obvious by Rue's near constant proximity that it's can't be that. The little fairy has not changed in the slightest. Even all the little things that look like changes are just things he's never had occasion to express'[/i]

Turning the corner that leads to the hallway outside Seishu's room Crios almost pauses, his feet doing a little hesitant half step before he regains his composure and walks on. There, just outside the Nightmare Guardian's room is Harper. [i]'I guess he made up his mind in the matter. Last night I was not sure if he has any real interest in such things'[/i] He mentally shrugs. [i]'Then again, it has to do with out beloved guardian, I should have known it was a give-in'[/i] Reaching into hi sleeves he does a double check over the items he brought before giving Harper a nod. Stepping past the taller male he notices that the rabbit man is a bit stiff. [i]'Either he's been standing here a while, or he's on edge'[/i] he muses, leaving the door open for the long eared fellow. 

At the sound of the door opening Seishu lets out a snarl, his pain having doubled since Rue left the room. Behind him Crios practically feels Harper tense up. To try and defuse the situation a bit the foxy doctor uses what little goodwill he's built with the guardian. In a slightly patronizing tone he calls out as he closes in on the bed, “Now now Night, we know better than that. Keep those teeth behind your lips and we'll have you back to your senses in no time.”

Seishu mutters a few choice words, little tongues of energy lashing out around the bed, but Crios ignores them. Carefully moving in close he pulls out the syringe with the pain killer concentrate and plunges it into the ornery creature's arm. The effects of the drug become apparent after only a few seconds, the growl rumbling in his chest dying down, and eventually stopping Near the door Harper remains tense, and the sight of Seishu reaching for the doctor makes him step forward, hand on his weapon. Crios however waves him off and reaches out to the guardian. [i]'Just as I thought. There is no leakage. He's in complete control when he's awake, and when he sleeps, he gives out an entirely different kind of energy'[/i] Crios holds tight to Seishu's hand as the man uses the leverage to sit up against his pillows. 

His brows furrow though as he recalls the few times Seishu slept without his own guardian being asleep. In those time Rue would sleep beside him as well, but he reported absolutely no energy at those times. Crios bites his lip, a new and frightening idea coming to his head, however he shakes it off before it has a chance to take root. The feeling of Enasi approaching makes both the minion and the dream relax. Seishu however perks up, a wicked smile on his lips. The fox man looks towards the door, and judging Enasi far enough away to give him a little time, he leans in close to Seishu to address a matter he feels strongly about. Seishu looks to him, raising an eyebrow as the beastman's position brings up many a smart remark in his head. However Crios speaks first. “I have not forgotten what you said about Lord Enasi, and what you plan on making him do. While I understand you two's relationship is unique, I just want you to tell me here and now just what part of you is interested in what part of him.”

Seishu glances at Harper, he confused and almost irritated look on his face letting him know that such things were never discussed with him, and by the doctor's words he's begging discretion in front of the over protective rodent. Looking back to Crios Seishu thinks the inquiry over swiftly, the answer already on the tip of his tongue, however he has an internal fight over whether or not he wants to say it aloud. When the feeling of Enasi's energy comes to the hallway outside Seishu comes to his decision. Reaching out he cups his hand against the back of the fox man’s neck, pulling him close enough to speak directly into his ear. He knows there is no use whispering, given the bunny's natural hearing, however Seishu feels such things should be said as quietly as possible. “In this world the part of me that wants anything from him is the same part that keeps him from just letting me die. The part of him that needs me. In this world, The part of me that needs him acts with all the passion and power it can muster to do what it knows need be done.” His voice lowers even further. “And I'll let you in on a little secret.” Harper's ears are up and stiff, listening so closely not even his whiskers twitch. “In our little world, all of me wants all of him. I think, in that place, I'm in love with him. . .” 

Having said it aloud the Nightmare Guardian sticks out his tongue, smacking as if he has a foul taste in his mouth. Crios is frozen in place, even after Seishu releases him and leans back against the pillows. Harper too is beyond stunned. The minion can feel his heart racing, the pounding so loud in his ears. He looks to Harper who gazes back at him. There is a question in his eyes. 

-He's lying, right?-

Crios shakes his head ever so slightly. Of all he's learned about the Nightmare Guardian, he is firmly convinced that when it matters, Seishu does not joke, or kid.

-He means it.-

They have just long enough for the words to sink in when the door bursts further open and Rue darts in happily. Seishu opens his arms for a tacklehug, then with a shove he rolls the little fairy tot he end of the bed. He begins chatting about something or another and Seishu chuckles at the story. Meanwhile Crios and Harper both look at Enasi with twin inscrutable expressions on their faces as he walks in.
