The brothers sat in the tree in silence for a few moments but Jentou didn’t prod. He did let go however as Kaila straightened up and looked towards the camp. The contemplative expression his brother had made Jentou raise an eyebrow.
 
“It’s not the best plan… But it’s all we have right now.” 
 
It wasn’t the most convincing start, but Jentou let him continue. 
 
“With Master Seishu away, we need some way to get close to [i]him[/i] and figure out his plans, his weaknesses. Anything.” Kaila wrinkled his nose in disgust as he spoke of Gin, his fists clenched and unclenched before he sighed. “I’ve thought of every possible plan and every possible outcome and I refuse to let any more of us die. I refuse to just wait for Lord Seishu. We don’t know how long we will have to wait, and if we can lighten the blow for when he gets here... The plan is for us, us as in you and I, to go towards the castle, close enough to be noticed by Gin or his troops. I’ll give myself up- or pretend to be captured rather. I know they’ll keep me alive for questioning, but I also know I can get information out of Gin. It’s… not that hard to get him to start yapping about himself.” 
 
Finally, Kaila looked his brother in the eye, having been staring out at the forest for most of his explanation. While his brother frowned in protest, Kaila’s was devoid of most emotion. He knew his brother would disapprove of the plan, but he also knew that having him come along would make him more willing to accept it. “I need you there so you can be sure that our link will feed you whatever information I can get. That and to make sure it looks as though we fought before I am taken.” 
 
Jentou continued to hold his frown, moreso because he knew there was no swaying Kaila’s plan. “The others will not like this.” It was the only thing he could think to say while he was set in his path. “But of course I will accompany you. That’s not a question.” 
 
“We can worry about the others after I’ve been take, They’ll be upset but they will understand.”

Enasi stared at Seishu, his eyes softening as the guardian spoke. He couldn’t imagine how much pain and suffering he was going through, but he was still braving it out. Enasi sighed and cupped Seishu’s face. “You have been so, so strong baring all of this pain and positive energy and I appreciate it so much. You deserve to go home, you do.. You deserve to be surrounded by your minions and I want to help, trust me I do. You will be able to go home, I swear. Even if I have to go back to the Nightmare Realm and drag Gin off that throne myself- assuming you guy have a throne in your castle.” Enasi gave a sympathetic smile and a weak laugh before leading him out of the bath. He grabbed two towels for them, and then a third to dry Seishu’s hair. 
 
“We could always take a trip to the Human Realm however. As amazing as Crios is, nothing truly beats actual negative energy for you. It wouldn’t be… from the pure source, but it definitely would help.”
