The little fairy can feel tears welling up behind his eyes. Despite all his thoughts on being strong, a part of him knows that his sadness is well places. The two taller males look to one another, then back at Enasi, settling at last on Rue. Without a word they both move off in opposite directions, far enough away to give them some privacy, but close enough to let Enasi know that they feel this talk is important. Rue begins understanding why they brought him with, why, despite their closeness to Enasi, they wanted the little minion to speak with Seishu's counterpart. [i]'Inui and Rasha are too close to Mister Seishu, Crios and Harper are too close Lord Enasi. I am the closest to the middle of all this. . .'[/i]

Taking a deep breath he keeps his tears in check as he begins speaking. Looking up at his guardian his eyes seem to sparkle. “You're not fine Lord Enasi. You're not, and it's obvious. Even if you think you're okay, you should trust those closest to you to be able to tell when you're not.” His wings twitch slightly but the fairy remains firmly on the ground as he speaks. “You went out together, and you were happy. I know you would never do anything to hurt Mister Seishu, but he got hurt anyways. A few mistakes were made today, but that doesn't mean anything. All that matters is what we do to make it better.” He takes another steadying breath, but does not pause long enough for Enasi to get a word in edgewise.

“I love Mister Seishu, like Inui, and Rasha, but you are the special person. If Crios was sick, he would be crushed if Cho didn't are enough to at least go check on him. Mister Seishu may not be awake right now, but you two care about each other, and I know he'd know that you stayed away. He's perceptive like that. I can't imagine how much that will hurt him.” A single tear finds it's way down his cheek. “He's all alone right now, in that place, that horrible place that makes even tough Mister Seishu shudder. He hates it there, but he got put there because of whatever happened out there. He got put there because of a mistake.” He hang his head, a few tears falling to hit the stone beneath their feet. “I understand Mister Seishu, almost as well as his own second, and maybe even better than you, and I know how sad he would be to know you decided to say away from him. And. . . .” He looks up. “Lord Enasi is not a cruel person, and he knows how much it will hurt Mister Seishu too. So. . . .Why would Lord Enasi decide to hurt Mister Seishu?” He finally pauses, unsure if he put his words correctly, but hoping beyond hope he did.

At either end of the hallway the two older males listen carefully to the little minion's words, Harper approving of the points Rue is making, and Crios grateful at the tact the boy is showing. They do not want their guardian to be hurt, but if there is any point that the Nightmare Guardian has ever been right on, it's that their guardian hides too many of his troubles, and needs to stop, not only for his sake, but for the sake of the realm.
