A soft sigh escaped his lips as Seishu spoke. Even if he didn't want to, Enasi knew that this was sure to come. Ever since he had brought the poor child home, he knew Inui didn't belong. But he had tried so hard to keep the boy happy, but everything he tried didn't work. He was always an outcast. It made the dream guardian a little ashamed that he couldn't keep the minion happy. Seeing his happiness with Seishu only confirmed this. Enasi pushed the chair to make it turn back and forth. 

"I knew this would come up sooner or later." He looked down at the floor, not sad about it. He was more coming to terms with it. "I found him when he was a baby. He was all alone in the human realm. Of course I wouldn't just leave a cute baby by himself. So I did the next best thing. Took him in." Enasi paused, looking up at Seishu. "And no, it wouldn't have been more simple to just give him to a nightmare minion." His eyes went back down to the ground as he nodded. "Don't worry, I was well aware of it. I just didn't know how to... bring it up."

Finn was sitting slowly fascinated by Rue's tales of him and Seishu. They were quite interesting,  especially hearing some of the stories that included Lord Enasi. Though listening, Finn started to notice Rue skirting away from some details of the stories. He couldn't be one hundred percent sure about it, but by the short pauses and the occasional looks away, he knew something was being hidden. "This is quite interesting. You've even been around him at his worst." 

Rue giggled and shrugged. "I guess so. But it's never too dangerous when I have Lord Enasi and Crios around!" 

Finn was about to ask a question, but the sudden force of his collar being pulled made him yelp. He could then hear Starla yelling out. "Sorry Rue, but I have to borrow my brother for a moment!" 

Rue blinked and watched Finn be comically dragged out. "No cheating!" He giggled and reminded them before sitting next to Inui. Once again, he found himself staring at Inui's eyes and hair. "Pretty. . ." Inui's cheeks darkened, but he accepted when Rue began to play with it.

"Mind telling me what's so important that you had to nearly kill me to get my attention?" Finn dusted his clothes off and looked at Starla with a serious look. He was after all in the middle of learning about how the others interacted with Seishu. 

Starla caught her breath and before she began rambling. "So I was talking to Harper and he apparently knows what we're missing. But of course he won't tell. Ugh, but then. . ." Starla went on and on not quite getting to the point until Finn cleared his throat. "Oh, sorry. Well the point is, you know how normally we would think that the minions of this realm would be Lord Enasi's value? Or, he'd value us the most?" Finn nodded as she continued talking. "Well we're not. But Balance is. This whole balance thing between the two realms is more important than we are. I'm sure we're important, but we aren't number one. And I thought you should no." 

Finn raised an eyebrow as she spoke, not quite sure how to react to it. "That's something. . ." He contemplated the idea, trying to figure out if it had as much importance as his sister made it out to be. "I'm not sure as of now, but just keep that in mind when you're trying to figure this out okay?" Starla gave a nod before groaning in frustration. 

"This is complicated."

"We just started, relax."
