As Enasi scoots to the edge of the bed Seishu stretches out on his back and lets out a long sigh. With a faint hum he rolls this way and that, stretching out his muscles until his counterpart appears next to him with a hand out to help him up. With a bit of a sly grin he takes the red head's hand and pulls himself up, stealing a quick kiss before letting Enasi lead him to the door. [i]'I'll have to talk to my underlings and explain things carefully before they get the wrong idea over there. I'm not going to stop being affectionate just because we're in my realm, but it could lead to some confusion if I don't make this whole thing clear. After all, it's only going to last until the end of the war. . . .I may truly love him, but all they need to know is that our relationship puts them in no danger'[/i] 

Once the door flies open the long haired guardian slips away from Enasi so that he can get his fill of his underlings before they leave. He doesn't let go of his hand however, his possessive streak making him feel needy. He watches with half lidded eyes as the little ones practically dance around them in excitement, at least until Crios pries him away from Enasi and drags him back into the room. Looking at the closed door curiously Seishu crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow. “Well Doc, you want a special good-bye or something? I'm willing and all, but won't your hubby get jealous?” Crios lights up scarlet and shakes his head furiously.

“Just, shut up for a second Night and listen.” Crios had been gruff with him before, but being told to “shut up” by the foxy doctor in such a tone drops the sly look off the guardian's face in an instant.

“What's up Doc?” he inquires, looking down as Crios pulls the belt filled with syringes.

Crios lets out a long breath and explains. “These are very strong infusions of positive energy, mostly tinged with healing properties, and these two on the end are mostly healing, and will knock him out when injected.” Seishu shivers at the intense level of positive energy but does not move away like his instincts tell him to. Noting the shiver Crios bites his lip. “I tried to shield them best I could, but I'm not sure what else to do. I'm sure this will make you and yours sick in this state, but I ca-”

Seishu nods and holds up a hand. “I got this.” Taking the belt gingerly he runs his fingers gently over each syringe. “Like the barrier around the room, I can seal in the positive energy here without tainting it. There. . . .” Once the barrier is in place he slips the belt on and covers it with a conjured sash. He smiles warmly at Crios. “That will keep me and mine safe.” With honest affection he reaches out and strokes the doctor's cheek with the back of his right hand. Crios lights up once more but accepts the touch with grace. Without a word he gives Seishu his once over, ending with his shoulder wound. Unable to help himself Seishu gives him a thank you kiss to which the foxy doctor swats him hard on the arm before opening the door.

Seishu chuckles and walks out, subtly making sure the sash is in place. To assuage any suspicion he'd conjured some of his regular clothes after the exam that way the sash would not look out of place. The thick black tights and black open chested poet shirt make him look like a man from the middle ages, while his bare feet seem to almost blend in with the white stone floor of the hall. Looking at them he decides that barefoot may not be the way to go, and an instant later there are black leather ridding boots hugging his calves all the way up to the knee. With a smile he slips an arm around Enasi's waist and walks along silently at his counterpart's side as they waltz over to the portal.

Once there he slips out of Enasi's grip long enough to noogie the little ones earning a string of giggles. As he slides back into Enasi's grasp he notices the sack in his hood and smiles. The smell coming from it denotes it's status as food, and the way it turns his stomach lets him know how jam packed it is with positive energy. With a casual stroke he gives it the same treatment as the syringes. Giving the little ones one last wave and a smile he steps into the portal after the general.

~*~*~*~*~

Lan and Ran make their way towards the concentration of positive energy landing on the sidewalk under the tree only moments after Finn told his sister to relax. Their energy had been low, out of respect and practice for when Enasi arrives. The plant sibling didn't notice them approaching until a moment before they landed and with a yelp Starla falls off a nearby roof. In a flash on reflex Lan catches her, setting her upright before returning to his brother's side. The dream minions look at him in shock for several seconds before he shrugs. “What, we're working together for now. I see no reason to let your own poor reflexes knock you senseless on an important night like this.”

Finn is unsure just how to take this rather backhanded explanation after the rather courteous act, but as his sister simply sticker her tongue out at them he decides on the lesser of two evils and doesn't respond at all. Instead he hops out of the tree and leads her over to stand by the portal. With one last harrumph she calls over to them, the brothers staying back from the portal least it make them ill. “Hey, you take good care of Lord Enasi while he's over there, you got that? If he's got even a single scratch on him, I'm taking it out of your hide in spades!”

Ran rolls his eyes while his big brother hides a laugh. “Understood.” the younger brother calls out, giving her an honest salute. The gesture effectively stumps her into silence until Harper appears and takes up a position on the other side of the portal, quickly followed for the guardians. Starla and Finn not at the guardians and step back as Seishu lets go of Enasi to greet his minions. Harper eyes Lan and Ran, assessing them the best he can before handing his guardian over to their care. 

The boys salute and Seishu gives them a nod and a smile. Holding out his hands he waits until the brother's have take one each in their own and he moves in closer to speak with them privately. “I know you boys see it, as has any who has seen me together with him for more than a minute since I have been marooned over there. Well, maybe not all. I took those dream dummies a while to catch one.” The minions chuckle at that but fall silent quickly as Seishu goes on. “We need to make sure this does not make anyone feel unsafe. I know you guys understand, and I'm relying on that trust you have in me to aid the others. Understand?” That last word is spoken with authority and the brothers step back as one with a salute in response. Looking over his shoulder Seishu sports Harper staring and smiles. [i]'He can't help eavesdropping, can he? Eh, it's not like he can disagree'[/i] Lan and Ran stand at attention and wait for the order to open the portal to the designated spot.
