[i]~[b]Well, this is odd.[/b]

Seishu curls further around the feeling, once more thinking of Enasi but this time far more strongly. The wondering does not last long as he suddenly feels the pull. Being alone he once again recalls the joy of the feeling, knowing that he is to be taken from the nothing. However even as he recollects the joy, he can not help but miss the sadness he's felt as of late from it. The longing to stay asleep is something he will miss greatly.~[/i]

Seishu wakes slowly to the smell of food, the presence at his side immediately making him recoil his energy, and audible sigh of relief from Rue making him smile softly. “Sorry about that Little Bite.” A fond giggle sounds out from his left and with a chuckle of his own he opens his eyes, looking the the direction of the mirth. Both Rue and Inui smile fondly at Seishu and after carefully setting their plates aside they crawl right on top of the wounded guardian. He can not help laughing aloud as soon they are joined by Rasha, a flying leap right into the middle of them and purring loudly. The siblings roll their eyes, smiling softly while Cho covers his mouth with his hand to hide his own giggles. The other two in the room refuse to be overtaken by their relief of seeing him recovered, standing silently and waiting.

“Yes, yes, I'm awake, and still in one piece, no thanks to a bit of over kindness and forgetfulness.” He ruffles Inui's hair, feeling the strain on his system as if it were his own. Giving the three one last hug he shuffles them back so he can sit up before letting them scoot in again. Looking to the two stoic members of the group he sighs, quickly summarizing what happened. The room listens silently, the pieces of the puzzle falling into place, and the reasoning behind Enasi's reaction rather clear now. Seishu does not bother looking around for Enasi, knowing he is nowhere nearby, and indeed feeling quite hurt at that. Even the siblings can see the pain in his gaze, however no one addresses it other than Rue wrapping his arms around the guardian's waist and hugging him tight.

The room is silent for a long moment, each lost in their own thoughts, until at last the silence is broken by a long sigh from Seishu. Shooing the little ones off his bed the guardian follows them off, standing on mostly steady feet. Looking to Crios he says softly, “Do you have any sedative left Doc?” The doctor looks confused but nods, moving slowly over to Seishu as he holds his hand out expectantly. Passing the syringe over silently Crios can feel everyone in the room tensing. Quite calmly and softly Seishu explains simple, “Enasi and I need to talk. I want you all to run interference while we do this, keep the rest of the dream denizens away from us.” The sudden orders catch them by surprise but as the Nightmare Guardian immediately follows them by heading for the door, they have no time to question them and instead fall in step behind him without a word.

The turtle bus sighs softly, casting it's eyes towards the palace.

[i]'Just because you fear for them, does not mean you should rob them of the experience of growing up.”[/i]

He looks down at his guardian with kind eyes.

[i]”It is in our nature, both dream and minion alike, to aid one another, and those on earth who welcome us into their minds. I do no think right to not let us aid the one we are about the most.”[/i]

The tone of his voice is not condescending, but rather as gentle and understanding as one can manage. His truly sweet nature shines through with every word. Moments later his head once more rises, looking towards the palace.

[i]”Perhaps there is someone better for aiding you in this task.”[/i]

The team approaches at speed. Cho, the slowest in the group, is being carried by Seishu, while Inui rests on Harper’s back. Once close enough to the TB for the dream to speak to Seishu he stands, speaking only to the Nightmare Guardian.

[i]”I have no reason to seek forgiveness, however I will say I am sorry none the less.”[/i]

Seishu flies in low, slowing just enough so that when he drops Cho, Crios will be able to catch him easily, which he does, turning off to the side so that they can reach their guard points. Rasha springs from Rue's back, falling several feet to the ground where he comes to a stop, his post reach. They all spread in a circle around Enasi, leaving a large enough gap so that the TB does not have to worry about stepping on them when he decides to leave. Seishu stays well away, nodding in reply to the apology.
