As the foxy doctor leaves the room Seishu turns his attention to Enasi and his underlings as they try and convince him to go to sleep. He smiles a little as, indeed, Enasi seems to be trying to play everything off as nothing for them to worry about, at last when it come to him. [i]'So humble you are, my dear flufflord, but what is this? Deflection? A sure sign that you are hiding something! Since you can't outright lie, I guess deflection is the next best thing, huh?'[/i] He keeps his eyes trained on the Dream Guardian even as Crios returns and begins working on his damaged flesh. He hisses, mostly ignoring the rest, that is until Rue give him the opportunity to smirk over at Enasi with an honest feeling of wickedness. He knows better than to actually tell Enasi right now, and he doubts there will ever be an actual time to say it, but it doesn't stop him from chuckling as his general practically rushes him out the door.

Crios resists glaring at the little minion over the sudden question. [i]'He's still recovering from his blunder, most likely the cause of a lot of that heavy atmosphere from before, and after that self scarification I can't bring myself to be angry at him any more'[/i] Opening the last salve he begins mixing it in with the rest, the chemical reactions creating a pleasing mint smell to permeate the air. Out of the corner of his eye he watches the fairy flutter closer, and the look in Seishu's eyes has him a little worried.

Reaching a hand up he motions the minion down to sit next to him and without question Rue flutters down, landing as gently as possible on the opposite side of the guardian than Crios. The doctor continues mixing as Rue scoots in close so Seishu doesn't have to speak up. “Well, Little Bite, earlier Doc here ask me a question about what my intentions towards Enasi are.” Rue glances at Crios, noting the light flush running up the back of his neck. His eyes come back to Seishu as he continues. “Well, I told the truth. That all I really want from him is what he's willing to give. After all, here in this reality, balance must be maintained, and we tend to make each other sick when our energy it too high, so it's not like any of my teasing is going to get anywhere.” Rue looks sad at those words but the guardian smiles, making his look turn curious.

Crios can see what's coming and asks him to wait a moment. When Seishu looks to him with a disgruntled expression he holds up a hand for peace. “I know you can't wait to say it, but you don't wanna interrupt the news with your pitiful gasps and whines now do you Night?” Seishu grumbles but falls silent and Rue can feel himself almost ready to explode. The answer is right there, and it's obvious the others think is something special and important, he can feel his teeth wiggling in anticipation. However recent events have humbled him a little and instead of whining like he normally would he settles back on his behind and clasps his hands in front of him. Crios sees his self control and smiles before scooping up a handful of his mixture and setting to work.

Crios was right, as soon as the cream touches him Seishu takes a tight hold of the bed and his mouth opens in silent pain. Rue back up automatically but Seishu has very little energy as it is and he uses all his strength to keep it from leaking out. Crios works quickly, the process taking less than a minute to cover his entire front, but by the time he's done Seishu has managed to sink his nails into the mattress. Rue stares at the new little holes but doesn't comment as he moves back in once it looks safe. Crios gives him a nod and he begins cleaning up, careful to not look as Seishu as he continues his story. At first his voice is rather breathy and he sound sort of winded.

“What had them so shocked though, was what I sad about our shared world. The one we visit when we sleep. There, it's very different.” The guardian's body relaxes a bit and he's able to talk more freely after a few short breaths. His eyes become very soft and Crios glances over to watch him speak. “In that place, things are so different Rue. I think the me that's there is so very different from me in some ways.” His smile curls a little at one corner of his mouth. Looking deep into Rue's eyes he whispers, “When we're there, I truly believe that that other me is in love with him. In love with Enasi. . .” He lets his words taper off, watching the little minion's reaction.

At first Rue is confused, trying to figure out how a person could be two people, but then his final confession sinks in and his eye grow incredibly wide. He does not even question if Seishu is joking, having been around him so long he can just tell that the guardian is serious. Instead he asks a question that nearly floors Crios on the spot. “Are you gonna tell him Mister Seishu? You know, in that world, where you can be together?” The fox doctor keeps himself from falling over, but he can not help but splutter a bit before asking a question of his own.

“Is that all you have to say? Rue, they are not even suppose to occupy the same space for longer than a once a millennium battle that last only a few hours, and all you can ask is if he's going to make it official with our lord?” His vice slowly climbs but after a few seconds Rue looks up at Crios. The look on his face brings the doctor up short and he follows the smaller minion's gaze as it returns to Seishu. For only a brief instant he sees what had made Rue look so lost and sad. Even through his smile Crios could see how much pain the question followed by Crios's monolog had caused. Crios bites his lip, simply looking at the guardian. [i]'It must be so hard to be so alone. I guess there really is only one option for him as a person to love, and I hate to be right when I say it can never be'[/i] A moment later Seishu closes his eyes and lets out a sigh.

“Nah, Rue, I don't think that would be a good idea.” Rue opens his mouth to try and console him but in that moment his eyes open again and there is a gleam of mischief in them. “However that isn't going to stop me from having fun while I can. Don't worry though, I'll try not to leave him any worse off than when I found him, heh.” Rue remains silent but shuffles down next to Seishu. He guardian lifts his arm so Rue can rest on his shoulder, one of the few places free of bruise on his arm, and with one small hand resting on Seishu's chest Rue falls asleep, a light sigh on his lips.

Crios however continues to stare at the guardian, something inside him battling like two rats in a small cage with only one bit of food. [i]'It's good he knows that they can never go anywhere, but it's like killing a romance before ever giving it a chance. He's had his heart broken without ever having actually been in the relationship. Somehow, I never even stopped to think about such things. I mean, he's obviously had sex before, but it's also obvious that it was just sex. I was afraid that that is what he'd do with Lord Enasi, leaving our guardian heartbroken like all those “Love'em and leave'em” humans, but now. . . .Enasi himself may never have anything more than a steady partner here in the dream realm, if he ever falls in love at all, he so busy all the time. But now that I think about it, Lord Enasi is most likely as alone as Night. . .'[/i] His emotions continue to rage but as a raised eyebrow from Seishu he bows, gathering up his things before leaving the room. As soon as he's out of view the guardian sighs softly, letting the darkness take him, and praying that Enasi will take his underlings' advice and hit the hay soon.
