Seishu glances up and watches the exchange between Enasi and Crios silently, not really having much to add. There are some things he'd like to discuss, but they can wait til later as far as he's concerned. As Crios goes to fetch the others Seishu rolls over so he's facing outwards, the back of his head nestled against Enasi's stomach. As the youngsters charge in Seishu giggles slightly. Rasha bounds across the bed on his little paws and curls up between Seishu's stomach and Enasi's legs. He purrs loudly for a few seconds as the Nightmare Guardian pets him a couple times, but then falls silent to listen to the conversations going on around him.
Rue and Rasha nod at the instruction to keep their energy in check, looking over to Seishu curiously. On his way out Harper tosses the little device Crios had given him for safe keeping over to the siblings before bounding out of the room at speed. Seishu looks after him for a while, wondering about the differences between Enasi's second and his own. 'Sure, he follows Enasi's orders most of the time without question, but sometimes his concern for his lord leads him to not only question his orders, but to try and change Enasi's mind' He muses. 'However, Kaila is no less loving and easily concerned about me as Hops, but he has never once even looked like he was considering not following them without question'
So engrossed in his thoughts Seishu almost doesn't notice when Enasi breaks the news to the room. However the sudden tumble of bodies on to the bed breaks him out of his contemplations of the orders defining each realm. Inui crawls on to the bed from behind Seishu, draping himself over the Nightmare Guardian's middle so he can look up into Seishu's face. Rue crawls on from the other side, laying on his belly across Enasi's legs so he can do same. Rasha begins purring again and rolls around a bit even as Crios lets out a long tired sigh. However, the siblings respond quite differently. The looks of shock on their faces turn to concern and a little upset. They step forward together and Starla speaks first. “Lord Enasi, going to the Nightmare Realm is really dangerous. You'll be so weak there, and everything is a mess.”
“Plus,” Finn adds, “with Seishu injured going there alone, without one us to back you up, is not only irresponsible, but foolish! I'm sure General Harper will agree! I c-” A low growl issues out from Seishu causing Finn to fall silent and swallow hard. Rue, Inui, and Rasha all still, not wanting to get caught up in whatever's about to happen.

Kuro can not help but agree with the “Wild Animal” comparison of his kind. For the most part, the description could be considered accurate as far as Kuro is concerned, and he's not about to deny that quite often he would love to treat many of the beasts who pick on him as such. 'It's not like below a certain level you can find many who don't just sneak around doing nothing but killing and often times feeding on the flesh of humans, not just consuming the soul. Those lower level ones don't have what it takes to be tactful' He smiles at the happy look on Aoba's face as he decides on what he wants, but a moment later his smile shifts into a false one as the old woman returns with their drinks.
He lets out a little sigh as she places the wrong cup in front of him and is about to switch them around, but he pauses as Aoba pulls the tea towards him. 'Well, this may be interesting' Looking up at the woman he lays out his order and as soon as she's done writing it down she scoops up their menus and walks off, the click of her heels making Kuro flinch. 'Those things. . .Why do humans insist on torturing themselves?' His attention however shifts swiftly over to Aoba as he takes a drink of his tea. The demon decides it was worth not telling him about the mix up as the little angel's cheeks puff out cutely, and expression he's growing to adore more and more each time he sees it, before pushing the cup towards him.
Shakes his head a little Kuro pushes Aoba's drink to him and murmurs, “She's an old woman. The fact that we got the right drinks is a blessing, even if she got who they go o mixed up. Here's your water luv.” Pulling his tea forward Kuro begins sipping at the overly sweet drink, the chill of it making him feel rather pleasant after all the sun he got earlier in the evening. Setting the cup back down Kuro begins talking fondly about the animals they are to be caring for, answering Aoba's questions about raising and caring for the beasts. Occasionally Kuro wanders off on some story or another about some of the animal encounters he's had over the years, but he always ends up back on the actual animal care before long.
When at last the food arrives Kuro pulls out the ketchup and dumps half the bottle on to his hash and proceeds to mix it all up into a bloody looking cheesy mass with little strips of brown and white throughout. He smiles at the mess before offering the bottle to Aoba then digging into the mess. He makes short work of the hash and move on to his burger, only putting a little ketchup under the bun before taking a huge bite. It's been so long since he's eaten “Well” the demon can not help looking a bit like a garbage disposal as he mows through his meal. He can feel a familiar demon presence in the area, but being in plain view of so many humans, Kuro doesn't even bother with trying to scare the little bugger off. Instead he eats and stares happily att he little fallen angel before him.
~*~*~*~*~*~
'Look at him! Eating with that think like it's an equal! He's so stupid, he needs to learn how to treat his toys' Dani sits atop a roof across the street, his legs dangling over the edge as he kicks them lightly. He knows his dear little brother can feel him there, but for some reason he's not responding. Dani doesn't like this. Dani doesn't like being ignored. However, since he knows there isn't much he could do in town without getting into trouble, the little demon contents himself with just staring daggers at his younger sibling. 'He'll see. Soon, I'll have his pet for myself, and then he'll see how you're suppose to treat lesser beings. . . .The book nerd. . . .'

Seishu delights at the positive responses from his counterpart, his body tingling even as he keeps his lust tempered down. When Enasi asks if his okay with the plan Seishu just smiles and nods slightly. His head tilts down a little, staring at the hand pushing him a way for a moment before letting out a whine and releasing the smaller male. 'We may not have plenty of time to work this, but if worse comes to worse, we can always have more fun in Our World, since there, we can not harm one another' He pouts as Enasi sits up, but seeing as he doesn't move off the bed, Seishu makes due. Curling around he places his head in Enasi's lap and smiles. He pouts when the Dream Guardian stands up a little later, but he just holds his position until Enasi returns to the bed.
Settling back down with his head on Enasi's lap he wait quietly for the doctor, a light sigh finding it's way out between his lips at the now familiar smell of his counterpart. When Crios walks in and proceeds to tease them right off the bat Seishu waggles his eyebrows playfully, earning him a rolling of the fox man's eyes. We watches the doctor shuffle through his tings, letting Enasi take the lead for now. Seishu is more than content with his position at the moment and snuggles in closer when he mentions 'Letting Seishu see them' and lets out a light mewling noise. “Yes, my dear master here is letting me out of the house for a day to play with the other cats,” He looks up at Enasi with a teasing but sweet smile, “aren't I lucky?”
Crios lets out a long sigh, knowing there is no way to convince the guardians to change their minds. Not that he has any real urge to at the moment. Seeing Seishu so content, and Enasi finally getting close to someone in that special way, Crios feels he would cater to almost and of his lord's wants at the moment. In a slightly exasperated tone he drones off, “He'll need to get at least two more doses of negative energy before then, as well as not go walking around on his own so he can shore up his energy for the trip. I'll have to prepare some syringes, and give him a full check-up on the day. He’ll need to eat well, so no more only having one meal a day, and only light physical therapy until the day itself.”
Waving at the door he adds, “One of them should go out and find Kaila so I can talk to him about a few things. He left a little device with Harper to help us contact him on earth, so that shouldn't be too hard. And Rasha and Rue should be reminded to keep their energy down, seeing as they are the ones most likely to mess up, seeing as they get so. . . .close to Night.” Crios doesn't quite give Seishu a look, but he knows what the doctor is implying, and resolves to tell Enasi next time they are in Their World. After all, it's only polite. He rolls his eyes at most of the other instructions, seeing them as a give-in, but at the end he nods without looking like he thinks Crios is being stupid. He then proceeds to roll on to his side and bury his face against Enasi's stomach playfully.

With a faint smile Kuro watches as Aoba's head tilts around, looking this way and that while observing the humans around them. 'Well, his curiosity is good. And adorable. He's like one of those birds keeping a lookout for predators, heh' His own ears perk up at the word 'new guy' but he lets out a sigh a moment later and relaxes into the seat as it become quickly evident that the comment was not about Aoba or himself. The smell of strong perfume makes the demon’s nose wrinkle and he looks up to see their waitress coming.
'While I appreciate the effort to not smell of old woman, I think one gallon of perfume would have been enough lady, not five' He covers up his distaste with a smile, his public face falling once more into place. After the angel orders his water he tilts his head to the side a bit as if he's thinking. Then with a nod he chuckles, “How about just some nice iced tea?” The old woman gives him a smile and a nod before wandering off. Kuro face falls back into it's normal state as he looks over to see his angel had vanished into his menu. He smiles and picks up his own, trying to find something other than steak that would suit his palate.
'I mean, it's not like all of this stuff is bad, but meat is what I feed on naturally, so. . . .' His head comes up to look over his menu as Aoba speaks. He doesn't have a chance to answer the first question however as a moment later their eyes meet and Aoba asks another. He looks into those eyes for a long moment before vanishing behind his menu. “Well, you had fruit for breakfast, meat, wheat, and veggies for lunch, and you sweat a lot right after. . . .So, something with calories and something more fortifying to drink than water. . .So, meat and lemonade would be my suggestion.”
Kuro pops his neck, tilting his head from side to side, going silent a moment before addressing the second question. “Cities are settlements that are large, much nicer than towns, and a lot worse at the same time.” He settles on a large burger with all the fixings and a side order of cheesy hash. Setting the menu aside he decides to elaborate a bit. “See, in towns everybody knows almost everybody else in the town, so if you do something wrong, it's really easy to find out who did it. While in big cities, no one really bothers to get to know one another and getting away with bad things is a lot easier. It's why I go to cities when I need to recharge. The people there are so into hiding away from each other that no one even notices for a while after I'm done and I don't have to skulk around.”
Wanting to end on a different note than Aoba thinking about his need for human souls he moves on to why cities are better. “However, cities are wonderful for the humans in their own way too. Anytime you need anything, there is likely a store that sells it within ten miles of your home. In this town, if you need something not in one of the local stores, I'd say it would take at least a week to deliver. There are more varieties of food, entertainment, and community activities. Also, you don't have to worry about wild animals climbing in your windows and eating your children as much in cities.” He waves a hand, not wanting his little angel to fret too much. “It's not a big risk here either, it's just even smaller in cities. Towns are great too, but, meh, you'll find out why on your own Little Mouse.” Kuro falls silent and waits for Aoba to make his food selection.

Yes, it was a funny :P
Seishu watches with half lidded eyes as Enasi reaches over and places his hands over his own. The slightly warmer than his own hands feeling of those soft fingers sends a shiver through him, and he glances up at his counterpart as he begins speaking softly. His heart beats a little harder as the silence stretches on. In his normal state Seishu would be beyond humiliated and a little incensed that he basically is asking permission from his opposite to return to his won realm, but the drugs mixed with the lightly pulsating thrum of love for the other male keeps him in control of his temper. Instead he focuses on the feeling of Enasi's hands, the feeling of them drawing out a light feeling from beneath the anxiety and chaos currently raging through his aching chest.
”Two days.”
His head snaps up, looking into Enasi's eyes. His ache slowly becomes a warm feeling as Enasi promises to take him to the Nightmare Realm soon. He's a bit disappointed that he'll have to wait, but the knowledge that he will be going is enough to keep him from pouting over it. The warmth inside spreads to his face, pulling a slightly sexy smile to his lips as the worry is brushed away, only to be replaced with a need to express his gratitude to the burgundy haired male in front of him. He gives Enasi a little nod before his smile wides a little and in a well practiced move he pulls on the other's hands, tossing the smaller male gently on to the bed along side him.
Before he can object, or even think to, Seishu slides down a bit so they are even and slips in for a warm kiss. His hand comes up to settle on Enasi's waist where it moves gently up and down over the fabric in a light petting motion. Once ha has an opening he deepens the kiss, his other arm under him so that he doesn't fall on top of the other male as he works his magic. Once they need air Seishu pills back, only to slide up and whisper into Enasi's ear, “I wonder how long until you to purr again, but this time out here. . .” His hand slides softly down, his fingers darting up to skate along the skin around his counterpart’s waits just under the boarder of his shirt. He's ready to pull back at any time, knowing that Enasi will only put up with his teasing so much, and at this point even Seishu knows that going too far would most likely end up with one or both of them hurt. 'I'm injured, and not in complete control of my energy, but that doesn't mean we can't fool around. Beside, I'm just showing my gratitude'
~*~*~*~*~*~
Suddenly, outside the room, Harper and Crios face palm and Rasha does a fist pump and whispers, “All riiiight!” The others just stare at them in confusion.

Alexi dresses silently as the chained male speaks. While his heart aches he can not help the little tugs at the corners of his mouth when the man keeps himself from swearing. He pauses as he's buttoning up his shirt as the pain evident in the bound man's voice strikes a nerve. He takes a few deep breaths, letting the last one his out from behind hid clenched teeth before he finishes getting dressed. 'You are right, you can not free yourself, and I have the power, but I can not. Not just yet my pet'He mentally berates himself for the 'pet' reference, but when at last he closes the wardrobe doors he looks once more as calm and collected as he always is.
He looks to the vampire just as a cry is torn from his body. Alexi steels himself as those beautiful red glowing eyes fall on him and the threat rips it's way out of the captive. 'I can hear the blood lust in his voice, he really is starving. I should caution Joseph to be careful when he comes in later with the clothing. Even if he can not survive off of it, I can see this one trying to drink from him out of desperation' He lets out a long sigh, true sympathy in his eyes though his voice remains strong. “I am sorry, but this is the only way. I shall have my blood drawn before I leave and when you are ready, it will be prepared for you.” He lowers his head slightly, his gaze dropping to the floor.
“I will not risk Joseph in this. When you are ready, I will administer the drink myself. I am sorry you are in such pain. . .” His voice tapers off as he turns and leaves the room. Closing the door softly behind him Alexi glances around for a servant before remembering that none of them are allowed in the hallway for now. “Right right. . .” he mutters to himself nodding. Making his way down to the foyer he calls over a servant and tells them to have Joseph bring his morning meal to his favorite study. As the small werewolf runs off Alexi makes his way up to the third floor and into the largest study in the house. When his father had been in charge, two of the three studies were rooms he used for business, stacked floor to ceiling with paperwork and file cabinets. However after his father died, Alexi had all that moved into another part of the house and had them organized, converting the business rooms into something more hospitable.
Making his way over to the large desk near the giant window facing the front yard of the estate he takes a seat to wait for his meal to be delivered. While he waits he thinks over his plan once more, every detail stretching this way and that as he tries to find any holes or shortcoming. 'as it is with all plans made contingent on other people's choices, there is always a margin of failure, and an even larger margin for roadblocks and faltering, but. . . .' The face of the male tied up in his room flashes across his minds eye once more and he lets out a long sigh. 'If there was another way that had as much potential success, without making you suffer, I would have implemented it. I swear. . .' He lets out a long sigh, his arms stretching out over the desk as his head sinks down, his forehead coming to rest on his dark finely finished surface. Behind him the morning light shines in through the window, but with a lazy motion he presses a button on the desk and all the curtains around the room slide closed so Joseph does not burst into flames when he comes in.

Kuro follows along silently behind the angel, his eyes sharp for any threat to their peaceful evening, however the worst thing directed their way are a few unsettles looks from the locals. 'Well, it looks like the whole town knows about us now, and not only about how close we seem, but what we look like as well. . .Though I don't suppose there are many around here who look anywhere near as hot as we do, so I guess it's kinda obvious that we're the new guys in town. Well, near town. I just hope they keep the peace for now and that this doesn't turn out to be one of those really stupid hick towns with barn burnings and crap. . .' He rolls his eyes at the thought and turns his attention to Aoba's question as they reach the main street.
“Remember that book I told you about? Well, in that book, someone put some crap in it about how two beings of the same gender should not be in romantic relationships with one another, and with how I've been around you, they are clearly reading into my fondness for you and assuming that we are in said forbidden relationship. . . .I don't mind them thinking that, but sorry if the staring bothers you. . .” He adds with a chuckle, “Though, you are hot and even without me around, they would be staring at you anyways, so. . .” He shrugs, looking at the place Aoba selected for the evening.
The place is sparsely populated, and Kuro is glad to see that the other patrons are slightly older than those easily affected by his pheromones.. 'This means I can get as happy as I want around my Little Mouse without having to worry about some horny teen jumping over their table to nom on my face' He can not help but chuckle at the sudden image in his head but he stifles it as Aoba steps aside so he can take the lead. “I think it might be nice to eat here tonight. Get some more time to observe the locals and learn a few things.” He wants desperately to get back tot he bath, but he also knows that the people watching could do the clueless little angel some good. Slipping into a booth next to the big front window so they can see the nightlife out on the main road Kuro settles in with a sigh and sits back to wait for the waiter to deliver their menus.
“Remember that book I told you about? Well, in that book, someone put some crap in it about how two beings of the same gender should not be in romantic relationships with one another, and with how I've been around you, they are clearly reading into my fondness for you and assuming that we are in said forbidden relationship. . . .I don't mind them thinking that, but sorry if the staring bothers you. . .” He adds with a chuckle, “Though, you are hot and even without me around, they would be staring at you anyways, so. . .” He shrugs, looking at the place Aoba selected for the evening.
The place is sparsely populated, and Kuro is glad to see that the other patrons are slightly older than those easily affected by his pheromones..

Settling in to listen Seishu smiles at his counterpart before looking around the room at the rest of the gang. 'This reminds me of when it's story time for the little ones. . . I hope they are doing well. I know the twins will do their best, but. . . .I don't think children should have to live through such times. I hope they are somewhere at least marginally safe. Outside the palace, anything could get to them' Chewing down his own worries Seishu looks to his counterpart as he continues the story.
He smiles a little wider at how excited Rue is over the fact that Enasi can fly, but stays quite as his anxiety over the nightmare children's safety gnaws at him. As the group begins talking happily after the story ends Seishu's attention falls to the blanket beneath his hands. His internal argument over what he desperately wants to ask spilling over into his eye makes Rasha still, his view of Seishu's face unobstructed by the guardian's long tresses as his head hangs. The others notice Rasha falling silent and fall silent themselves to stare at Seishu. He doesn't notice for a long moment and Crios moves in close, pressing a hand to the guardian's forehead on instinct.
Seishu jumps slightly at the sudden feeling and he looks around the room quickly. Noticing that everyone is looking at him he blinks, realizing that he must have been acting weird. “Sorry, I um. . . .” He glances once more around the room, the denizens all looking a bit worried now. Harper pushes off the wall, his arms falling to his side as one of his ears droops curiously. Coughing lightly Seishu murmurs, “Could you all give me a moment with Enasi. I need to talk to him about guardian stuff.” Rasha pouts silently as Rue and Inui pull him slowly off the bed.
Cho scoops up the rest of the dishes and mumbles something about needed to get back to the kitchen. Finn and Starla cast confused glances in his direction but obediently leave without a word. Harper walks to the door but pauses when he notices that Crios hasn't moved. Seishu looks tot he doctor curiously and he smiles a little when he notices what the fox man is doing. 'He's using what Kaila taught him to check up on me. How sweet. . .But' Doc, I'm fine, I just need to talk to Enasi about something.” Reaching up he touches over Crios's heart and steals his worry away, the action making Crios sigh softly before bopping him on the head and wandering over to Harper at the door.
When at last the door closes and they are alone Seishu's attention returns to the blankets and his hands come together to clasp above his legs. Without preamble he begins. “I need to see them Enasi. I need to see my little ones. I know I'm in no shape to take back my realm right now, and there is no way they can come to earth with the way things are right now. But. . .A short trip over there to see them, that's all I need. . .” He glances up at his counterpart before his head droops back down, blocking his face from view behind a veil of his hair. “I. . I just need to see them, but if I go. . . .You would need to come with me, and I know that sounds like hell to you, but. . . Being away for too long will just. . . .” He doesn't know how to explain to his counterpart the relationship between he and the children, the kind of need they have for him, and in turn, the need he has for them. So instead he falls silent and just stares at his hands, berating himself for appearing so foolish in front of his love.

He chuckles lightly at the boy's playful manner as he watches the young angel walk off towards the house. The demon turns to glare at the tall grass several paces away an instant later as something familiar makes itself known. However after only a few seconds of glaring the presence vanished. 'Oh Pops damn it. . . .He's prolly gonna go blabbing, and I'm gonna be mobbed next time I, HELL!' Fuming lightly at the little encounter Kuro storms behind the house, his energy quite erratic as he pumps the handle to bring up water. 'If he goes off screaming it to the nine circles I'm going to be screwed, and Little Mouse won't last another month. I can't go stop him. . .Even if I could catch him, I can't leave the angel alone or else. . . .GAH!' He water begins steaming as it strikes his skin, and Kuro takes that as his cue to start trying to calm down.
'Relax, just. . .Relax. He's a moron, but he's not bout to go ruin his chance for fun just to screw my life up. He'll come back over and over until he sees an opening. . . .I just gotta be vigilant' Nodding once the demon strips out of his pants, rinses them, then dries them in an instant before pulling them back on. Letting out a long hiss he makes his way over to where he left his shirt and jacket and after beating the stray bits of grass off of them he pulls them on. By the time Aoba exits the house once more Kuro is right where he left him and looking just as calm as when he left.
Giving the boy a smile and a nod his wings slide out, the sun set behind him casting him in almost complete shadow as he does this. Stepping in close to Aoba he slips around behind him and slides an arm around his waist. Pulling the smaller body close to his own he whispers, “You can't vanish anymore, but I can. As long as I have you like this, we can fly right to town in less than five minutes without being seen.” A moment later he takes off with a few hard flaps of his wings and aims them towards town. Holding Aoba firmly against him the flight isn't awkward at all and Kuro takes the opportunity to just enjoy the closeness.
'I'm good with this for now. We'll have more fun later in the bath.. . .' As promised the flight is only five minutes in length and as Kuro touches down in a darkened corner of the town he lets out a long sigh as his wings slide quickly back in and he checks the area for people before making them visible again. The main road is past a few houses and the merry voices of slightly intoxicated hicks can be heard on it even at the distance they are from it. Waving a hand Kuro motions for Aoba to take the lead. “After you!I’ll let you pick where to eat tonight.”
