Seishu's nose wrinkled as once more the minions seemed to challenge his abilities, poking at his ego, but as he begins stretching near the edge of the pool he just smiles. [i]'I'll show them. I know they are only teasing for their own nefarious purposes, but I'll show them any way. If they want a show, they're going to get one, and one they will not soon forget'[/i] He glances fondly around at all gathered before letting out a sift sigh. [i]'After all, this may be the last time they ever see anything like this unless they all begin trying to learn this skill, but even then, they will never have the grace an power of a guardian. . .'[/i] Seishu smiles sadly at the thought of how the little ones, as he sees all of those who have come to be close to him other than Enasi, will be deprived of such a spectacle once he leaves the realm.

Off to the side the trio of young minion nod, smile, giggle, then point to Rasha who accepts with a sharp nod. Seishu watches as both Crios and Harper bop him on the head but just shrugs it off. As the three of them turn around Rasha can not help getting a little hot under the collar as he watches Seishu walking away towards the steps. Bother Crios and Harper notice, but the other kids are too excited and too innocent to notice such things. His eyes slide past Seishu to Enasi and for the first time in forever Rasha feels a strong pull towards his own guardian as well. Harper can not help but lean close to Crios and whisper, “I see it takes Lord Enasi showing a little skin to get anything but shy fear from the little trickster, huh?”

Crios nods. “Rasha must be the most biologically sexualy based dream I have ever met! Well, short of the “Dream Guys” and Dream Girls” But, I haven’t actually met any. There are only a few that make it here.” Harper nods. Humans are so fickle that the “Dream Lovers” rarely stay the same long enough for them to be strong enough to last to the end of the human's life.

Seishu meanwhile slides into the pool, honestly stumbling a bit and having to catch himself on Enasi. He lingers a bit with his chest pressed against his counterpart's before dropping a kiss on his cheek and a short thanks, sliding off into the water carefully. The three young ones line up and before either guardian can go under water Rasha speaks up. “For today’s display of underwater acrobatics we have My Lord Seishu, Lord of the Nightmare Realm, and currently residing in the Dream Realm for a rejuvenating break from the chaos in his own realm!” His voice sounds very much like a sports announcer's, the nature of the room making his voice echo pleasantly. As he talking Crios makes his way to the chairs, pulling one up tot he edge, While Harper take a seat cross-legged beside the chair.

Rasha's arm comes up and swings over to point at Enasi. “And the challenger, from our own Dream Realm, My Lord Enasi! He is the lord here, and has run unopposed for quite some time, always the star in his minions' eyes. Will he be able to defend his title of most revered by all of his minions, or will Lord Seishu take from him some of his beloved denizens? Find out today, at the palace swimming pool!~” Rue and Inui giggle, the adopt serious faces. 

Rasha steps back and Rue steps up to the edge. He coughs lightly and tries to keep his expression serious as he takes his turn. “The judges for today's display will be recently discovered Nightmare Minion, Inui!” He motions to said minion who blushes slightly. “Our local master prankster, Rasha!” Rasha nods, puffing out his chest and looking around importantly. “An finally, the fastest flying rocket of pure happy energy, Me! Rue!” He bows from the waist before coming back up to continues. Off to the side Harper wonders for a moment who's faster over all and decides to challenge Rue to a race some day. “Today’s competition will be judges on three factors: Skill, Grace, and Showmanship. Our official score keepers, please welcome the General of the Dream Realm forces, the fleet footed Harper!” Harper raises a hand and nods. “And the greatest doctor the Dream Realm has ever had the pleasure of harboring, Crios!” The fox man's tail swishes once and he nods as well.

Seishu can not help his blood beginning to sing through his veins, the anticipation threatening to burst out of his skin and dance across the surface. Finally Rue steps back and Inui steps forward. He takes a deep breath, not use to speaking louder than a hushed mutter, but for the sake of the two guardians he forces himself to speak up. “The rules for this competition stand as thus: Each display must last at least thirty seconds, and no more than five minutes. Each contestant can add or subtract anything from their display for that time period. Displays must not go past the edges of the pool, but above the surface is still considered in bounds. No bodily fluids may be used to enhance the contestants displays.” Seishu rolls his eyes at this one, not having bled on purpose. “Contestants are allowed to use their competition in the display given the act does not harm the other contestant. And finally, each contestant must put forward three displays total, going back and forth until all three displays are done for each.”

Inui steps back with a little bow and Seishu lets out a happy sigh. His happy gaze shifts over to Enasi and he chuckles lightly. Swimming close he slides up to stand directly behind the Dream Guardian, his skin barely a hairs breath from the shorter male's. He leans in, his lips brushing Enasi's ear as he speaks. “Today is a good day to be alive. Don't let me down Enasi, or I may be taking away more than one of your precious little ones when I go. . .” Seishu knows better, but he prays the soft threat is enough to help Enasi take the competition more seriously. Slipping away through the water he begins trying to come up with what he wants to do first.

Meanwhile Rue, Inui, and Rasha all step up to the very edge of the pool to better see the displays, while the two elder minions look to one another ans smile lightly. Rasha brings his tail around to hide his “attraction” to the two barely clad guardians and hums softly as he waits for the show. [i]'Oh, I hope Lord Enasi puts up a good fight. I know they all think I will favor My Lord Seishu, but I'll be able to be more fair if I can see that fire in my lord's eyes. . .'[/i] He chuckles lightly and watches the two guardians slips further into the pool.
