Seishu's fangs remain bared even with Enasi's calming hand on his cheek. [i]'Respectfully questions your orders is one thing, but calling you guardian a fool is unacceptable'[/i] His growl doesn't entirely dissipate and Inui Eyes him a little warily. Rasha scoots away a bit, but Rue responds by simply reaching out to touch the angry guardian’s hand gently. As Enasi addresses his minions Seishu looks to the little ones. The worry and upset on their faces bring his growling slowly to a stop, but he can not help his lips twitching back into a fierce look when he glances back at the insubordinate plant sibling. [i]'Enasi deals with these things his own way. . . .And he's the nice one, so flaying is out of the question. . . He could at lest raise his voice a bit. . .'[/i] 

Crios watches as the anger boils just beneath the surface, and for a little while he is confused. [i]'The pain meds are suppose to help his irrational anger. Perhaps the dose it too small. . .'[/i] Then he pauses his thinking as he notices Seishu calming down, only riling back up when he looks to Finn. Then with a slow not do himself, he figures it out. [i]'It's not an irrational anger, not by his standards at least. Having Finn talk back like that. . . .From what I've seen, would be the equivalent of announcing a revolution in the Nightmare Realm'[/i] Crios lower his head, shaking it softly, his tail slowly swaying back and forth to match. His head come up however when Harper walks in. He bites his lip, hoping that the rabbit man will not trigger Seishu's anger, pushing it further to the surface.

The horizontal Guardian watches the beast man's face closely as Enasi delivers his order, positive that his counterpart's right hand will raise some sort of objection. [i]'At least he knows how t pose such things, unlike that little upstart back there'[/i]

Harper feels a shock run through his system at Enasi's words. His mouth opens to voice an objection, but his lord's tone sinks in, causing him to close his mouth slowly. So many things that could go wrong with their lord entering the Nightmare Realm at this juncture race through the dream's head and he has to take a few long breaths to keep from talking back to his beloved lord. Once he feels calm enough however he looks into Enasi's eyes and respectfully bows his head ever so slightly. “As my lord wishes.” He bites his lip, trying to fight the urge to keep speaking, but his protective nature wins over and he continues. “If you would permit, I would like to join you. I have been here long enough to be strong enough to withstand the nature of the Nightmare Realm. I know. . . .I know those still loyal to Night will follow his order to keep you safe without fail, but I. . .I would be remiss in my duties if I did not even request to defend you, as I always have.”

Crios can almost feel the waves of defeat already rolling off of Harper. [i]'He knows there is almost no chance of going with. This must be hell for him. Knowing Enasi intends to head into the proverbial dragon's cave and intends to leave him behind in relative safety'[/i] The doctor's stomach clenches, his station in the palace filling him with much the same feeling, and he can see touches of it reflected in the sibling's eyes. 

The only ones it the room who do not look pained are the three little ones, who simply look sympathetic towards Harper. The look on Seishu's face however is unreadable. He is no longer baring his teeth, his eyes staring over at the distraught dream with an emotionless expression. [i]'I should have him come over here when this is all over. He's getting really tasty, and I know I can't exactly interrupt what's happening right this second, but I have the feeling he'll taste even better when this is all over. . .'[/i] So while Seishu hides his vaguely watering mouth, the room remains silent, waiting for what comes next.
