The negative energy tumbles through Harper, the hurt of being left behind clashing with his worry for his lord. Seishu licks his lips a little at the delectable suffering, even as he feels slightly bad for the general. He does not delight in the pain being felt by the rabbit man, however negativity from such a near pure source, as he has discovered with feeding off of Enasi, is far too tempting for the Nightmare Guardian not to respond to. He settles in, his chest warming as Harper concedes and an uncomfortable silence permeates the room. If he were any other than what he is, he would feel uncomfortable as well, and perhaps even a bit responsible. However, being who and what he is, he can not help but be content with the feelings now lashing around the room.

Inui too, feels a little different from those around him. This being his first real lasting taste of negative energy, he shivers as it causes his insides to chill a bit. The chill is not unpleasant, but it is to unfamiliar to be as comforting as it should be. Seishu notices him absorbing some of the negativity and ruffles his hair, drawing it away from him. [i]'He should not take that in yet. If he gets too much, he'll start producing it and accidentally start hurting the dream denizens'[/i] Inui lets out a sigh as the pressure lifts off of him and cuddles down a little closer to Seishu. He shifts a little to the side as Crios begins examining Seishu's shoulder, the guardian huffing a little at being moved. Shaking his head the doctor lets him go and decides to examine him the way Kaila had taught him instead and relaxing he concentrates on the task until Rue speaks. 

Finn hands his sister the device for finding the Nightmare Minion and she gives him a little hug before racing out the door. The silence falls once more, but this time it's Seishu who breaks it first. Inui moves as the guardian rolls over on to his back. [i]'Now's a good a time as any'[/i] His head still in Enasi's lap he shifts around until he's laying sideways on the bed. Rasha objects slightly, scooting up to press up in between Seishu's shoulder and Enasi's leg with a whine. Inui crawls over into the now mostly empty space and Rue follows suit, the two of them curling together with a giggle. Turning his head a bit so he can see Harper clearly Seishu smiles softly. “Hey, Hops, gimme kiss.” The room freezes, all eyes going wide.

However, Harper hesitates for only a moment, his eyes falling to half closed as he makes his way over to the bed. Standing on the side opposite the little ones and most of Seishu's body, Harper doesn't even spare Enasi a glance as he bends down. Seishu reaches up, placing a hand over Harper's aching heart and as his open mouth comes in close he channels his energy carefully. Their lips don't actually meet as they “kiss”, instead a stream of black smoke trails out from between Harper's white furry lips and slithers down into Seishu's mouth. Finn finds it a little gross, after the initial shock wears off, Inui and Rue hide their faces, blushing lightly, Rasha suppresses a giggle, and Crios watches the whole display with mild fascination. 

Seishu enjoys the feeling drinking down the torrent of energy created by his conflicting emotions and when at last he's drawn it all out he relaxes back against Enasi's lap with a contented sigh. Harper pulls back, looking a lot calmer and he even manages to smile at his lord before smacking Seishu on the forehead. While the guardian pouts at being hit Harper chides him. “Thanks, but you could have phrased that better. I thought Finn was going to have a heart attack.”

Seishu sticks out his tongue. “He deserves it.” The little ones pop out from their hiding positions and giggle along with Rasha at Harper's teasing. The mood in the room has lightened considerably. Crios can not help but wonder if Seishu would be willing to take out some of his own pain, but decides to wait a bit to ask.
