The air was heavy when Seishu warned them to compose. Enasi was nearing the room, but according to the Nightmare Guardian, they had a fair amount of time. Crios' shaking slowed and after a moment, he finally got up. His head was lowered, and he turned to go reorganize his materials, wiping his eyes in the process. Even as he gained much of his cool composure back, his tail still twitched back and forth. It seemed the more the two Guardians' lives were explained, the more it hurt. Enasi tried to spare them the details, but with Seishu around everything became clearer. He didn't realize how much Lord Enasi had truly hurt despite his cheery disposition. The guardian was always trying to make others happy, and never made time for himself. Thinking about it more and more, created a small spark of fire behind him, and he heaved a sigh to relax. This was definitely tough. And then to have to hide such pained sympathy from his guardian made it hurt only worse. 

With Seishu wiping his tears and comforting him, Rue tried to shape up. He's given a few tissues to use instead of his clothes and Seishu. "Thank you." He says and continues to get himself together. He managed to calm himself and quietly snuggle to Seishu. Crios walked over and swept the tissues into a small trash bin.

Harper on the other hand took the longest to calm his silent tears. He looked away from everyone else, especially the arrogant Night. Even in his downfalls, he knew some sly comment was close by. Harper found himself stuck on Enasi's turmoil. Even though he knew him for so long and assumed they were so close, there was a lot he hadn't known about his guardian. He had wondered what else Enasi didn't want to share. He held the same thoughts as Crios. Their guardian did his best keeping everyone else happy, but was he even truly happy? His furry cheeks were wet and pressed against his face. He took the offered tissue that Crios held out. The doctor knew that Harper tried to hold his place as the strong one, and he would respect it nonetheless. Harper took the tissue if only to dry off the obvious wet fur. A soft clearing of his throat and a raise of his ears indicated that he was... better. At least, his crying had stopped. 

Now, it was just the matter of them waiting.

Before Enasi had made his way to Seishu's room, he had wondered the castle in his own thoughts. A few minions that walked past him would greet him only for him to nod silently or simply wave. It was much different than his normal happy responses. 

[I]'I couldn't- It's not right... He doesn't even have feelings for me. That would just be an embarrassment on my part. Why?[/I] 

It was one question he had to focus and answer. Why did he feel this way? But he couldn't answer because Cho bounced out of nowhere. "Lord Enasi, Lord Enasi! It's breakfast time and you're wandering around like a lost puppy! Is something wrong?" Cho grinned happily and took his guardian's hand, leading him to the kitchen. "Who's in the room with that Nightmare Guardian? I shall bring them all breakfast, they work so hard." 

Enasi blinked, and was tugged out of nowhere. "I'm fine." [I] At least that's what Crios said. [/I] Not given a chance to slow down, he answered the second question. "Seishu, Rue, Crios, and probably Harper."

"Five plates for breakfast! I'm on it!" Cho bounded off happily. His energy made the Dream Guardian smile a little, getting his mind off the subject. 

'--'--'-----'----'-'--'

Enasi had brightened a little more from Cho's cheerfulness. The minion mainly did it because he felt the not so bright energy from his guardian. So, what better way to help his guardian than to be happy and spread the energy to him?

"Five plates~ Breakfast order." Cho grinned as Enasi pushed the door open. One plate was handed to Harper and with a surprised raise of his ears he thanked him, taking a bite. Crios got his plate and gave a small smile, managing to stop his twitching tail. Rue's plate was balanced on Cho's head and Rue giggled as his plate was handed to him. "Thank you!" He giggled again and began eating. "Yum!" 

Cho bowed and walked over to Crios. Subtly he spoke under his breath. "I don't know what was wrong with him earlier, but I got him to smile a little more." He gave a grin before leaning on a wall as they enjoyed his food. 

Enasi held his plate and Seishu's. Quietly, he walked over and handed him his plate. His breathing stayed steady and surprisingly so did his hands, but he didn't look into his eyes. "Here you go." He said softly, glancing at the bright eyed Rue with a gentle smile. Once Seishu took the plate, Enasi took his seat and ate quietly. "This is really great Cho."
