Looking down at the now near horizontal Enasi, Seishu lets out a long sigh. Another stab of hurt runs though his body as his lover mentions not trusting him with sedatives. [i]'I spent hours with needles full of various positive healing energy agents, working hard with something I've never use before, to keep you insides from spilling on to your outsides, and you “can't trust me” with a simple sedative!?'[/i] He holds back his growl however, breathing slow and letting Enasi get out what he wants to say before saying anything himself.

“Well, we could always start with the fact that you're pouting and acting like this outpouring is some sort of attack, but,” He carefully tugs at the pillow until it's far enough out of the way to settle his arm over the wound beneath it, “that's not what the bother is, and we can deal with that later.” He huffs lightly, scooting himself down a little ways so he's looking into Enasi's eyes, one arm settles on the other side of the smaller male while the other keeps him from smushing the red head. Gazing deep into his lover's eyes Seishu adopts a stern look before it suddenly becomes playful and he leans in to kiss Enasi. Leaning back after the brief smooch he says quietly, “This world, is your world, and you run it your way.”

The hand pressed against the mattress on the guardian's other side comes up to run though those scarlet locks before sliding down to brush over and over Enasi's cheek. “When I was stranded here, you had at least one person with me, constantly, and let all those who are friendly come see me whenever they like, even going so far as letting your head chef and doctor serve me exclusively, visiting whenever they thought it best.” His hand slides down his lover's body until once more his hand rest ever so gently atop the stomach wound.

“And yet, here you are, severely wounded, and all you can do is shoo them away? And when it becomes too much, you just throw up your hands as if it is some kind of burden that they want to come see if you're okay. To stay by your side and support you while you are weak? Beyond that you say things to imply they are not doing their jobs to your satisfaction because they are taking time to see you, or that you don't need to consult them?” Seishu shakes his head sadly. “Beyond anything else I have seen Enasi, this is not you. Has. . .” his voice seems to leave him for a moment, ripples of his still unmanageable negativity making him short of breath as he thinks about what he's about to say. After a moment however he is able to murmur, “Has our coming together really affected you so badly?” Seishu is terrified of the answer to that question, but as he adds on another question he prays that the latter one will be answered yes. “Or do you simply fear the change will hurt them, without giving it a chance?”

Harper's brows furrow more deeply as he hears the Nightmare Guardian speak, the final set of questions lighting his own curiosity on the matter. However after only a few moments he finds his resolve again and opts to wait and listen instead of letting his fantasies fly.

Waving good-bye to Cho, Starla heads towards the garden, a faint spring in her step. [i]'I can't help but trust things will turn out. I bet, by tonight, the garden will be in full health again! And if not I'll. . .I'll go deck Lord Enasi for being silly!'[/i] She knows she would never actually do it, but being able to think it without guilt is somehow quite liberating. She understands it now, partially at least. She understands what it is her and her brother were missing. “Actually, I don't know if Finn. . .” She shrugs. “I'll just have to ask now, won't I?” With that in mind she half skips her way down the hall to meet up with said brother.
