[i]'She really went too far earlier, that Starla. I do believe I will have to “teach her a lesson” about pranks'[/i] Seishu eyes the girl from across the room as Crios makes his report. “Bunny, hop hop hop. . .” Rue raises an eyebrow at the random words from the guardian but Seishu dismisses them with a wave. “It's from a movie. . .” Still not getting it, never having seen a movie before, or even really heard of them, Rue lets out a sigh but doesn't ask about it further. 

[i]'Mister Seishu seems to be concentrating on something, I shouldn't bother him'[/i] Inui is also curious but follows Rue's example and stays quiet.

Seishu is indeed distracted, a tumble of thoughts making their way through his head as Enasi lays out his orders. [i]'Doc and Hops seem to be trying desperately now to get Enasi an I apart, and while I can understand to a degree, it's kind of hurtful that they are obviously doing it for they and their guardian's sakes. Rue doesn't understand, and Inui has his own things to deal with, but they if given their druthers would most likely want us to find a way to be together. I think it's the almost cold calculations of Doc and Hops that I'm the most bothered by. They don't want to lose their guardian, so the most efficient way is to try and get me out of the picture quickly, and while they know I won't hold it against them, I find it more than a little sad that they don't seem to have any sympathy for me at all. I know that's selfish of me, but dammit, I may get more nookie than Enasi, but I also have to spend every day wondering how many of my nightmares and minions are going to be killed because of the very nature of our realm. . .None seem to care how lonely I am. Enasi at least has an entire realm that loves him, I on the other hand. . .'[/i] While Seishu knows his minions and nightmares love him, somehow, it just feels different.

[i]'Being here is really getting to me. I better get back before I pick up any more bad habits. Before coming here, I liked my life, lonely as it was. However with all this dream brand affection, I think I'm getting so mixed up inside. . .'[/i] Seishu nearly jumps out of his skin when Rue crawls up and wraps his arms around the guardian's neck, so far into his own thoughts that the world around had faded out for a while. “Huh, wha? What happened, what's wrong?” He mumbles out, still not completely “there”.

Rue sniffles a bit and looks into the Nightmare Guardian's eyes. “Lord Enasi says I have to stay here, but I really wanna go with, but I know I should stay, so I'm just giving you a hug before you go. . . .” Rue doesn't seem put out that Seishu wasn't paying attention, knowing that the guardian has been off in his own world for a while. Seishu looks to Enasi for a moment before hugging Rue back. 

Whispering softly into the boy's ear he says, “Keep my bed warm for me, what do you say?” Rue giggles and nods, moving so he can tuck his legs under the covers before snuggling up on the pillows. Rasha scoots of to the edge of the bed and in a puff of silver smoke he appears in his human form. Finn raises an eyebrow just as Harper peeks back through the door, announcing that the portal is ready. Rasha stays conspicuously silent as he holds out a hand for Seishu. The guardian hesitates only an instant, but with a glance towards Enasi he shifts the covers aside and smiles at Rasha in thanks. Once on his feet Seishu lets go of Rasha's hand and wanders towards the door slowly. [i]'Enasi is the only one I'm willing to lean on, sorry Little Lokitt. My pride is still as stubborn as ever'[/i] However he does not reach out for help from Enasi, instead making his way as carefully as possible to the doorway. 

[i]'They want us apart, and I can't mark them as wrong'[/i] He muses, slipping outside the door and leaning against the wall right next to it. Starla raises an eyebrow at him, while inside the room Rue gives Inui's hand a squeeze in support as the nervous minion makes his way past the others to wander over to Seishu's side. Rasha takes up a spot on Seishu's other side, still silent, his eyes flicking between everyone in the gathered party. He moves a little closer to Seishu when Finn exits the room, but other than that, he looks rather calm and cool.
