Seishu nods slightly. “I'm glad you knew better than to do that. Unless you could get close enough to show off those colors, or even if you did get close enough, the chances of a minion not just leaving it be due to distrust is very high.” Reaching up he scratches an itch along the back of his neck. “I'm also glad you're not fighting this. It in your nature to love all under your care, especially if it's something you see as one of your own.” He give Enasi a slight smirk. “And it obvious you still care about the little Gem, even if you've always know he didn't belong. You really are too sweet for your own good.”

His gaze turns to look across the room as a new feeling stirs in his middle. “So sweet, and pure, and unwilling to back away from a challenge. I mean really, you aren't stupid. You knew he had to leave one day, just as well as you knew there was no way you were gonna beat me in our little game. But you had to take up both of those challenges none the less. . .” Seishu lets the example flow, not putting any real emphasis on the game in their world last time the were there. Instead he watches Enasi out of the corner of his eye, all of his inner senses trained on the other guardian to feel out his responses. “Though, if you think about it, you were just setting your self up in both instances for something unpleasant. Whether he stayed or left, you would be sad because either he live his life miserable, or he'd leave your side some day to join me.” His eyes narrow. “You lose, I kiss you, you win, you have to kiss me. In both cases, it's a lose lose, no?”

“So, um. . .” Rue pauses as Inui looks at him shyly. He looks to the taller male, his fingers still lost in the mass of black that is Inui's hair. The wingless minion coughs and tries again. “So, well, I was just wondering. . What do you think they are talking about. . .well, he said it was about me, but. . .you know. . . .” Rue nods with a bright smile that makes Inui relax a bit.

Dropping his hands down Rue takes a seat beside Inui, resting on his hands as he gives the question some serious thought. [i]'I have an idea, but I'm not completely sure, so I don't know if I should tell him, but he asked what I think, so if I don't tell him what I'm thinking then I would have to lie, and I don't like that, so I should just tell him what I'm thinking'[/i] He lets out a little huff. “I don't think you belong here in this realm, and Mister Seishu is talking to Lord Enasi about how you should go home with him when he goes back, or maybe sometime after everything settles. Or, that's just what I think is part of what they are talking about.”

Inui feels a pang in his heart, Rue's words feeling very true inside despite his life lived in the dream world. [i]'It is my home, by my living here, but if he's right, and I belong there, I wonder. . .If it'll be better. From what Rue has told me about it, it seems nice, and there I won't have to worry about how I look at all. And Mister Seishu seems so kind. . . .'[/i] He swallows hard. Unable to voice his concerns over his own life he latches on to what Rue said at the end. “Part. . .of what they are talking about?”

Rue nods slowly, and Inui turns to look at the smaller minion better as the expression on his face changes from just serious, to a little concerned. “Yeah. They have other issue too. Ones it's up to them to talk to us about, but Mister Seishu hasn't told you yet so can't tell you. I'm sure he will, because you two are so close already, but until then I can't really talk about it.” His gaze turns to Inui and the dark haired male feels a twinge at the sadness in Rue's eyes. “I can't think of anything more horrible than being a Guardian. . .”
