The little fairy's sobs slow down, turning mostly to hiccups as his tears to seem to be coming to a stop. Seishu lets his hands run down his back, over and over, like one of his own minion children when they are upset. However when he feels his dear counterpart coming closer to the door he lets his hands fall to his side, and he braces himself in anticipation of what he's sure is about to happen. Despite being prepared for it Seishu still lets out a small noise, the air rushing from his lungs as the little minion rockets off him like, well, a rocket, flying across the room to crash into his own Guardian. Hearing the desperate pleading the Nightmare Guardian rolls his eyes but keeps his comments to himself. [i]'Oh cool it Little Bite, he's going to forgive you. I mean come on, he's willing to forget for a while how many I've killed of his precious little underlings to let me stay here. There's no way he's not going to forgive one of hi own for a stupid mistake, no matter the disastrous consequences'[/i]

Turning his attention down to his own body Seishu can see the bruise from Lillium blast already beginning to form over his wrists, and he had no doubt it's going to run up both arms and probably his face and legs. His block had, for the most part, saved his chest and other important parts of his body, so he is in no real danger at the moment, but the soreness sin his face makes him groan. [i]'Enasi, let's sleep, right now. Let's sleep until this is all healed so I don't have to see this face of mine. . . .'[/i] Knowing his thoughts are running a little vain he groans again and lets out a sigh, covering his eyes with an arm. 

At the sound of Enasi's voice his head turns, still hidden mostly beneath his arm, but with one eye he can see him patting the boy's head like a good little puppy. “Oh good, you kissed and made up, and I managed to miss the whole thing. My day is looking up!” Rue manages a giggle at the pointed joke, shifting even closer to Enasi if that's even possible. Seishu rolls his eye and turns his head back to the ceiling, his arm blocking out the world for a few more blissful moments before the door opens and his peace is shattered. His arm drop back to his side and he watches Crios examine the belt. Without looking at his other half he nods. “Yeah, hurt like hell to. I think I did it wrong, but it's working so, meh.” He looks to Rue for a moment, then back to the doctor. Crios follows the movement, but despite his curiosity he decides not to comment.

“I'm sure you did do it wrong, and by that tone in your voice, you're still feeling a lot of pain.” It's not a question and without a word he pulls a second syringe and walks over to the other side of the bed from where Enasi is sitting so he doesn't block the guardians' views of each other. As he sinks the needle in Seishu hisses in pain but Crios ignores it, earning him a little growl that fades quickly. “Can you tell me what you were hit with? If I know I may be able to help better.”

Seishu lets out a sigh as the needle is pulled from his arm. “Lillium fights with compacted air. She hit me with, one of her strongest hits yet. It was very well executed.” Both Crios and Harper look at him with differing levels of amazement and confusion as he praises her attack on her guardian. He ignores them, knowing they wouldn't understand. “She wraps her energy around the air, drawing it in tight until it's almost dense enough to see, then propels it with a hard strike of her own energy at high speeds. Like a really big invisible punch if you like.” Crios nods after a minute, getting the concept, his mind lacing together ideas of how to help him.

While he's thinking of what to do next, helping Seishu out of his armor and underclothes, Harper steps from the shadows and addresses the Nightmare Guardian. “We've decided on a new system when it come to you Night.” He says, suppressing a cringe as he realizes he' honestly just adopted Crios's nickname for the guardian. Seishu raises and eyebrow in question and he holds up a hand as he notices Rue getting excited. “We just got approval from Lord Enasi to put together your own little team of dream denizens who's task it will be to keep you safe.”

Seishu laughs, stiffed a bit by his skin tight undershirt over his head and the accompanying pain that goes with it. “And how is that suppose to work. It's not like even if you order them to that they'll be able to do the job effectively from a hundred yards away.” 

It's then that Rue looks to Harper for permission to explain, the recent events having made the little minion more humble. As the shirt slides off with a sharp gasp from Seishu the rabbit may motions that he's free to speak. Scooting around so he's a little closer to Seishu, but still in contact with Enasi the little fairy pipes up. “This team will be made of people like me, and Crios, and Harper, and Lord Enasi. There has to be more like us around, who don't mind you. . . Well, being you, heh.” It's there that Harper takes over again.

“We've already found a few potential prospects. A couple who were in the clash and who reportedly didn't have a problem defending you when you and your minions flew off to God know where. And I also found a young minion who seems curious about you, almost like Rue was at the beginning.” Crios raises an eyebrow at Harper for not giving him the credit for the plant twins, but has no time to address it as more and more of the purpling flesh is revealed beneath him. As he slowly begins working off Seishu's pants he sees the guardian's hand go up to his mouth where he sinks his fangs so far into a finger that it starts bleeding.

Harper pauses to let his regain himself, a touch of sympathy finding it's way in at the sight now laid out before them. With a hisses breath Seishu pulls his finger from his mouth and looks to the general. “May I assume I get a choice in this, Hops,” he says, emphasizing the creature's nickname, “or are you going all master and commander on me?”

Even Harper can tell he's teasing now, masking a legitimate question. “I assume that you'll meet with each candidate and yes, I'm sure if they don't pass your approval that they will not be assigned to you. I can't see you pulling up with beings you don't see as worthy of the task of defending you oh great pain in the backside.” Seishu chuckles at the reply but otherwise stays silent, the air on his wounds almost worse than his tight clothing. 

Crios motions to his last bit of clothing, some boxers he'd thought to add to his outfit in case something like this happened again, but Seishu shakes his head. “Nah Doc. I made sure to protect my jewels. Can't have that out of order no matter the situation, and with that blow I may have just lost them there on the spot. Lillium has never been big on holding back from striking where it hurts if you know what I mean.” Crios rolls his eyes and finishes compiling the list of salves and other things he thinks he'll need. Leaving Seishu there on the bed he excuses himself to go get what he needs.

With a loud bang the door to the infirmary crashes open. The staff all turn to the noise, but quickly continue with their work as Gin charges through them like a thunderstorm. His footsteps seem to almost crackle as he moves swiftly from bed to bed, seeking out the specific minion he's looking for. When at last he spots the tell tale spikes of a Dread Slayer he pushes past the medics surrounding her and looks down upon the sight that greets him. The doctors have managed to stop the bleeding but it's obvious from the blood soaked armor and sheets that she's lost a lot of it. “Excuse me sir.” A minotaur looking doctor, a good two heads taller than Gin, pushes past him and another doctor to lean in with some static energy.

The charge of it pulls a scream from the girl and Gin can feel his anger boiling. “When will she be ready!? I need this minion to answer some questions, there are these ridiculous rumors flying about and I-” He's cut off by another doctor, a fairly simply looking minion with red hair chimes in.

“Forgive me sir but she may not survive the next two minutes if you don't let us do our work. She lost a lot of blood, and her system seems to be in shock for more than one reason.” The minion looks away from Gin quickly and he fumes, unsure what he wants more, the information from Lillium, or to take off the head of this impertinent minion.

Filo and Feena race through the forest at top speed, missing branches and trees that would tear their wings out at that speed should they mess up and strike them. However the two are expert fliers and while Feena isn't as maneuverable as her brother she has no problem following the well flown aerial path through the dark foliage. They bank hard past a man eating three, almost giggling at it once again reaches out to try and snag them as they pass like always. The nightmare realm can be a very dangerous place, even for it's own denizens, unless one knows where to avoid or are traveling with the guardian himself. 

With a sudden snap of wings the come to an abrupt halt. From the trees eyes look out at them and they wait patiently for the okay to continue. A long tentacle arm slithers out from behind some branches and motions that they are free to go. Their faces are well known enough around camp that further inspection is unnecessary. With a nod they strike out once more, slowing down quite a bit as they do not want to run into any other airborne minions on their way into camp. As soon as they break into the open area they spot Kaila in the distance, attending to some injured minions and they both drop low to the ground for the rest of the trip to his side. Snapping her wings out to break they watch as the sound draws their temporary leader's attention and as they finally make touchdown Kaila stands and looks to them with a questioning stare.
