Enasi patiently waited for the two minions to join them. When the plant siblings saluted and walked off, Enasi nodded in understanding. They took their job to heart. The two appeared and Enasi listened to the conversation. He had no reason to put his two cents in. He already was aware of what was going on, and Seishu filled him in on the rest. The guardian knew it was hard for Seishu to talk about what happened, and could only imagine the hurt he was feeling. He brought a hand up and gently patted his back in comfort. 

At the mention of Inui going with the Nightmare Minions, Rue whispered a cute "Bye" before waving. Inui looked back and returned it with a short wave before nothing the word "Bye" as well. When Inui turned, Rue watched Seishu walk off. Every time he stumbled, he could feel Enasi tense up or squeeze his hand gently. The fairy gave a comforting squeeze in return and smiled when Enasi smiled. 

"Alright, let's go." Now, Rue was beaming. He was excited to see his guardian at work in a dream. He had been in one, but that was to only hide away from being attacked. He didn't know how to alter dreams like everyone else did, which made sense because it wasn't his job to, just like how he couldn't make portals to the human realm. The two walked the opposite way, giving Seishu his space and giving the siblings and Inui space to "stalk" their guardian. 

"Will you be sad when Inui has to go?" It was a random question, and it made Enasi look down at the little minion. He gently patted his head and nodded. He could tell there was a sad look in Rue's eyes that he tried to hide, but he said nothing about it. 

"Inui was a Dream Minion just as you are, no matter what anyone said. And I love all my minions and dreams. Of course I'll be sad to see him go. . . But it has to be this way for Inui's health." Enasi hugged Rue and smiled gently. "But for now, he's here. And we have to make the best of it." Rue smiled and nodded before continuing to follow his guardian into the home of some human.

"St...Stalk?" Inui was feeling a tad bit more nervous now that there were no recognizable faces around him. Seishu was ways away for comfort and Rue and Lord Enasi had walked off in the opposite direction. But soon his mind wandered to the questions he harbored for the Nightmare Minions. "Is it really survival of the fittest? Does everyone have sharp teeth or something like that for defense? And does everyone fight?" He had more questions but he decided that it would be best not to shower them with questions. 

On top of that, he didn't want to be too loud while they were following Seishu around. Inui inwardly sighed, fully expecting answers that would work against his favor. He had the disadvantage of being raised in a soft realm, so fighting wasn't his strong suit. He couldn't imagine himself toughened up to fight.
