Seishu smiles at the warm feeling of the other guardian's hand on his waist. He knows he should quell the happy, but for a time, he just lets the pleasant feeling settle low in his stomach. His own arm crosses over Enasi's shoulder, his fingers gripping the shoulder furthest from him gently as the two of them begin their trek to join the others. He chuckles lightly at Enasi's comment about helping him. Leaning in close to Enasi as if sharing a secret he whispers, “I will always need you.” He leaves it at that, knowing anything he would add tot hat would sound to intimate.

He goes along with the small talk as they walk, keeping the mood light. However when the underlings come into view his eyes narrow and he falls silent. [i]'I feeeel. . . .Something different'[/i] His eyes skate across all their faces, however each one of the dream denizens glance down as his gaze falls upon them. The Nightmare Minions however are too excited to see him to let their conspiratorial feelings show. [i]'They are waaaay too comfortable with each other, but I guess. . .It can't be a bad thing'[/i] He lets out a sigh and shrugs as Enasi moves aside. 

Kaila immediately moves in close in case Seishu is still unsteady, Lan and Ran following right behind. Once more Seishu reaches out and touches the top of Kaila's head gently and the minion closes his eyes into the touch. After a few seconds Kaila steps aside letting Lan and Ran take his place. Seishu smirks at them and buries his fingers in their short curly hair, ruffling it a bit. They both look sad for an instant, but then their eyes glisten with joy. As Seishu reaffirms his bond with the boys, Kaila moves over to where Enasi is and offers up the most honest smile he can muster. From in a chest pocket under his loose fitting top he pulls out the flower Enasi had presented him upon his arrival in the dream realm. Starla gasps lightly at the sight, and Finn simply stares. 

Looking into Enasi's eyes Kaila murmurs softly so that Seishu does not overhear, “You presented this with a reverence I have grown to respect, Lord Enasi. I wish to return this to you, and I will await the day my own lord returns to his rightful place and once more fills thee halls with his beautiful creation.” With that he takes up Enasi's hand and places the sprig, still quite lush and alive, into the guardian's palm, not taking no for an answer. Then quick as lightning he leans in close to whisper into Enasi's ear, “Besides, I believe Master Seishu would want you to have this little token of his heart.” As Seishu's hands drop back to his sides the three Nightmare Minions line up like the soldiers they are, strait backed, eyes forward in front of their guardian, Kaila not even sparing Enasi a glance. 

“I am so proud of all of you for standing so strong in the face of what is happening. I do not doubt your courage, so do not go out of your way in any one venture. Remember, I do not accept a wasted life. If you expect casualties, then your plan is flawed.” They all nod as one and Seishu's face relaxes into a soft loving expression. “Just hold out a little longer. Once I'm well, I will have my throne back, and I will return to keeping you all safe as I can. . .” The three drop their heads in acceptance, then as one they step back, turn, and vanish into the shadows. Seishu looks at the place they vanished fondly for a time before coughing lightly and looking to Enasi. “Let's go.”

Crios nods in agreement. “I'll give you a shot when we get back, I can see you're becoming stiff again already.” Seishu rolls his eyes, but does not deny it. He knows that pain isn't the only reason he needs to remain sedated, but that goes without saying. Looking to Enasi Crios adds, “I plan on continuing with his physical therapy, and as always, I would ask for your cooperation Lord Enasi.”

The plant siblings look to one another, but manage to hold their smiles. They did not hear what the minion said to their guardian, but by the looks on both their faces during the exchange, and the flower itself, they could tell that is was something special. Whispering out of the side of her mouth Starla says to her brother, “Well, he didn't disappoint. I've never seen a flower like that, you?” Finn shakes his head and sighs. Little touches of it's scent had wafted on the light breeze over to them, and neither could identify the subtle but almost tangy smell. Soft like lilac, but potent like a freshly sliced orange.

Inui and Rasha however can not hold back their grins as they watch the whole exchange between Seishu and his minions, as well as between Kaila and the Dream Guardian. Inui lets go of Rasha's tail and instead latches on to Seishu's free hand, smiling up warmly at the guardian. Seishu, oblivious but very suspicious, gives Inui a calculating look, but doesn't ask what's going on. Not quite yet. . .
