With a sigh Crios give Enasi one last hug before waving his way off to his office. “Bye Hops, oh, and, I'm in the lead again.” He sticks his tongue out but darts away before Harper can reply, the flames leaping about his lower half to give him speed. Harper's ears fall for a moment, but then they snap back up, his chest puffing out.

“I will not lose to a two bit fox!” he says with conviction. Turning to his lord Harper gives him a salute. “Sorry to leave so suddenly, but I think I figured out something to keep my spirits up!” He hangs his head a little, touching Enasi's shoulder. “Please, never leave us, Lord Enasi. . .” His voice is soft but after a second his competitiveness comes back and like a shot he's off, heading for town. He has a good idea of where to start looking for the next little addition to Seishu's defense team. [i]'That is if he isn’t in trouble already'[/i] He thinks to himself, rolling his eyes as he recalls all the stupid antics of he target. This dream has to be the only one who alone can keep Harper busy for weeks even in the middle of peace times.

Fluffy white ears twitch gently, the soft breeze carrying with it the voices of a few off duty soldiers. A small head rises, directing it's full attention as they begin speaking about the creature's favorite subject: Pranks.

“Yeh, I overheard them talking about it.”

“The plant siblings? What really happened?”

“Well, apparently, that Seishu guy had hidden two minions under the covers,”

“Two minions? I though only the fai-”

“Don't interrupt dude, yeah two! The second is that weird guy, Inui. But any way, he hid the minions under the covers, and then had them slide up, all pressed against him and junk, like a couple of human hookers, y'know? And he was all like, “Man, and I didn't have time to get to the good stuff.” or something like that.”

“That's sick dude, but ballsy. You said even Lord Enasi was there and was stumped for a minute?”

“Yeah, too funny, right?”

“Yeah.”

The small figure stands and stretches, it's long fluffy tail lashing back and forth happily. It's eyes close in a big yawn, but as the yawn fades his eyes open once more to reveal happy sparkling orbs of pure bliss. [i]'That Seishu. . . .He's my idol! Oh, if only I had rank to see him. . .I tried sneaking in, but there's some sort of barrier in place. You need some sort of special permission. . . .Ohhh. . .If I could only talk with him, at least once, and share my prank repertoire, I just know he could give me some pointers. . .[/i] Rasha rolls around atop the little arch he's resting on, his little paws batting the air as he whines to himself.

He had indeed tried, several times in fact, to sneak into the Nightmare Guardian's room, however the barrier was put up by Lord Enasi himself and there was no way a low level nobody would be able to make it's way through on nothing more than a will to meet the prank master. Whining a few more times he rolls right off the arch. About half way down his form changes in a ripple of silver smoke. With a light click of fine white shoes he lands on his two now humanoid feet. Looking very much like a fairytale prince clad in a white uniform Rasha slides his hands into his pockets, the dark blue cape resting over his left shoulder shifting back and forth as he begins walking down the white cobble stone streets of this part of town. His light silky silver hair falls across most of his face, hiding one eye and half of his sly smile. One vivid blue eyes skates around the area, looking from something to do, the only vestment of his animal form swaying seductively back and forth behind him like a cat on the prowl, the foofy white mass sweeping the ground occasionally. [i]'What I wouldn't give to meet with him just once. . .'[/i]

Rue pokes playfully at Inui. Inui pokes back. Seishu pokes them both, making them giggle. He knows he should be resting but he can not help but play a long with them a bit. “Mister Seishu. . .” Looking down at Inui Seishu raises an eyebrow. “Is it really dangerous in the Nightmare Realm? Rue said there's some scary things there too. . .” Rue gets little somber, an apologetic look on his face as he glances to the guardian before hiding his face.

Seishu lets out a sigh, ruffling the little Fairy's hair before turning to Inui with a gentle smile. “Yes indeed, there re very dangerous places in my realm. . .In our realm.” He corrects himself, causing Inui to look down, still a little uneasy at the idea. “However,” he murmurs, bringing Inui's gaze back up. “I will assign you to Kaila, I think he'll like you, but even if he doesn't because it's something I order he'll obey without question. He'll make sure to teach you all about the dangers.” He gives Inui a slightly hard look, making the minion swallow. “You will have to work hard over there though. Kaila is a hard but fair teacher, and as long as you are making an honest effort, he will not get harsh with you.” Inui trembles a little, but nods, a spark of determination in his eyes. Seishu ruffles his hair too before settling back against the pillows with a sigh. [i]'Training will be fun. . .He's so innocent. . .'[/i]
