Seishu's smile was returned with a tentative look. It just seemed like he was up to something. And the Guardian was right- sort of. Venting? Intimacy? ...Sex? Each word seemed to make Enasi's cheeks darken in embarrassment. "I don't- uh, normally-!" He was going to say something about the venting, but then the Nightmare practically offered sex and- and...! If he wasn't confused before, this surely sealed the deal. Sitting in silence wasn't going to help the awkwardness, but then again neither would talking- at least not for the Dream Guardian. The calm expression, facade or not, was replaced with that of surprise and embarrassment. "Did- Did Crios drug you?" That had to be the only logical answer to why Seishu was talking to him like that. The possibility of him actually being serious made him look down quickly, hiding his face behind the chair a little. 

[i]'Embarrassing me isn't going to help me you idiot!'[/i] 

Enasi cursed the fact that he wasn't as subtle about his emotions like others- or like many wanted to tell him, he was just dramatic. With a deep breath to calm himself some, he looked up noticing Seishu still looking at him. He turned his gaze off to the wall, trying to think of how to prepare for any other disasters the conversation might bring about. The color in his cheeks lightened a few shades, but the embarrassment stayed strong. Not once did it occur to the guardian that Seishu might have just been teasing him. But that would just be cruel. 

In the many years he lived, the guardian was practically...well, innocent. It was just one of those things that never came up in his lifetime. It...just didn't.

Everyone seemed to hold their breath as Harper spoke. Nothing he said was a threat, it was more like a promise. There was an audible gulp from one of the soldiers and another shifted slightly under the rabbit's gaze. The last words rang through their ears. All five stood, contemplating their choices. Would they go into intense training? Or would they sit in jail with the others? 
Was it really worth it? 

After a few moments, Mado stepped forward. He held a serious look and saluted Harper. "I'm willing to take the training, sir. I've already been stripped of everything...Pride and all. But I will always be devoted to Lord Enasi. I want to redeem myself!" Harper gave a small smirk and only nodded, waiting for whoever else that wanted to return. Two more, a minion and dream, stepped forward and saluted. Those two repeated the words Mado had started with. "Our allegiance is to Lord Enasi." 

"Heh, don't think this will lighten your punishment." Harper's arms crossed and he turned to the last two. Before he could say anything the third stepped forward leaving Haku alone. "Are you choosing to back down and never return?" Haku, a dream, crossed his arms, almost in defiance. His eyes narrowed. "I don't think I want to serve a king who doesn't understand his own job... This realm will fall under chaos because of him. That nightmare doesn't belong here- and I stand by it." 

Harper took a step closer to Haku, giving a glare. "You can leave this army all you want. But you [i]will not[/i] disrespect our guardian in front of me." His head turned to the four who wanted to redeem themselves from their travesties. "And you all should feel the same way if anyone disrespects Lord Enasi." They quickly nodded in response. 
Two guards that watched the events escorted Haku to the jail to stay with the other prisoners. 

"What a fool..." Harper mumbled and shook his head.

After a few more minutes, Crios sighed. Both Seishu and Rue were perfectly in tact. No harm had come to them and Seishu had the normal injuries. Crios wasn't needed. Paper work could be attended to, or he could go and take a rest rather wasting time standing against a wall. "If they need me Rue, I'll be in my office making sure nothing else needs to be done. Alright?" 

The small male nodded, sitting on the opposite wall with the blankets folded in his lap. "I'll make sure they know! If they ever get stop talking..."
