Rue finally manages to let all the positive energy surrounding his home seep in, dispelling all the remaining discontent left behind from the upset earlier in the day. With a smile and a groan he rolls a little too hard and falls out of bed. He giggles aloud as his wings catch him before he hits the ground and with a happy shout he shoots out of his room, calling out a good-bye to his mother as he rockets towards the palace. [i]'It's almost time, I can feel evening approaching. Mister Seishu is going to be so happy! He gets to see his kids, and I bet they are going to be more happy to see him than Rasha was when he first met Mister Seishu This is going to be so amazing for all of them. I do feel kinda bad that Lord Enasi is going to be in a place that makes him slick like this place makes Mister Seishu sick, but I know Mister Seishu is going to make him as comfortable as possible. He thinks Lord Enasi will be safe there, so I believe him!'[/i]

As he rockets along, thinking his many thoughts, the rest of the gang slowly converges on the hallway outside the Nightmare Guardian's room. Inui and Rasha show up soon after Harper, their hair still wet, and Inui giggling at something the trickster had just said. The general rolls his eyes at them but smiles, batting at Rasha when he turns into his feline form and leaps up on the rabbit man's shoulder and shakes off playfully. The plant siblings arrive next, watching with wide smiles as Harper is now chasing around the little cat thing, one of his important keys dangling from his mouth. Crios and Cho split as they enter the palace, Cho skipping off to grab the snack he mentioned, it having finally set after several hours in the fridge, and the doctor racing off in a burst of flame to the medical wing for the syringes. The young doe doctor looks a little startled but helps him quickly load the belt with the solutions before he gives her a brief smile and races off towards the others. He and his lover arrive together just as Harper manages to catch Rasha without knocking anyone over in the process.

Rue arrives last, pausing at the end of the hallways just to look upon his fellows as they commingle in a way that would have been highly unlikely if not impossible before is Seishu had never gotten stuck in the Dream Realm. Wrapping his arms around his middle he lets out a long sight, catching Inui's attention. The little nightmare minion smiles over at the hovering fairy, waving a hand in a 'come hither' manner and with a laugh Rue darts forward and hugs Inui. The nightmare minion has to be caught by Cho and Finn, the speed of the small dream minion making him stumble, but as the group busts out in a group laugh, no one faults the little guy for his enthusiasm.

Seishu lets out a sigh at the tone in his counterpart's voice as he replies to the instructions. He can not help teasing him all the more for it, causing Enasi to squirm more than usual. He easily thwarts the Dream Guardian’s attempts to escape, them being half-hearted to begin with, and for now, Seishu is content with at least this aspect of his world. The gathering storm of positive energy outside his room makes his smile grow even wider, and like a courteous boyfriend he settles down his touches, giving Enasi a chance to recover his normal pigments before they decide it’s the right time to pester the guardians.
