Well, this is entertaining :P
~Seishu watches, a faint giddiness floating around his veins, as Enasi joins him in the water.

Oh good, now we're a little more even.

I can now say I've seen him with his shirt off too

heh.


Swimming back and forth he hums softly to himself, his voice clear as it would be above the water. However the sound seems to reverberate through the water, giving the soft sound a deeper feel. His eyes follow Enasi as he moves deeper and deeper into the water. His attention seems to be caught by the beautiful precious stones lining the bottom of the lake and Seishu can not help but grin as he swims around picking them up.

Like a pretty little raven

Playing with it's shiny things.


He swims past the other guardian languidly several times, fascinated by the wonder in the other man's eyes. Somehow, as much as Seishu admires his own land, he's never managed the wonder that seems to radiate off of his counterpart.

However I feel I may be coming close.

On one such pass he feels a faint tug on his hair. Rather than an unpleasant feeling, the touch sends shivers through his body and he turns to look at the other male. Watching Enasi rise to the surface to check the area he smiles. Calling out he says, “I guess it only adds when we need it. I think right now, we have enough.”

Swimming carefully, as to not seem like he's stalking him, Seishu follows a short ways behind Enasi for a few seconds. When he looks close to the surface again Seishu darts forward, the water offering little resistance, and takes hold of the other's ankle. With a chuckle he pulls him down a little deeper towards the center before turning. Shifting his grip up to Enasi's waist so he can pull even in front of him he smiles at his counterpart. His hand relaxes into jut the ghost of a touch as his hair flares out around him. Almost as it it has a life of it's own it move to surround them both, brushing against Enasi ever so slightly. “So I suppose there is some part of me that you like, huh?” Shaking his head slightly his hair ripples along it's length. Turning his gaze upward he closes his eyes with a smile. The moon bathes the submerged duo in it's cool radiant light and in the softest voice he has ever used the Nightmare Guardian whispers, “This place, is perfect. . .”~
How about something equivalent to a nuke drop that killed off half the population of all supernaturals? It would me more mystical of course, and maybe even very vicious, killing off most of the children? Children deaths are always a good reason to take a step back and realize that what you are doing just isn't worth it any more. However it MUST be clear that neither side can confirm that it's the other side that did it. That way it makes more sense that they would be willing to work together rather than one side being demonized for devastating the under 12 population.
No problem. My condolences. I hope you are well, and feel free to talk to me if you need someone to talk to.
M'kay, to keep these from turning into marathon responses I think we should deal with one front at a time. That being said, I'ma start from the top, and we'll move on to the next one(In your post up there) when we've figured out this one.

"All that we need to do on that particular front is decide a little bit more how the Organization came about. It isn't something that would have sprung up by chance, since it would take a lot of effort on both sides to set up something that wouldn't fail within the first year or two. So we will just need to flesh out those details."

I see this as kinda simple. Some of the more powerful fighters from both sides that have grown a faint respect for their equals on the other side of the line saw more and more innocents dying now that it is against the peace treaty for the warriors to attack one another, so they came up with the idea with one another, and together they brought it to the leaders/council/beings that drew up the peace treaty, on both sides and when the idea was approved the top warriors were given the duty to keep both sides in line. However, to make sure there was no ganging up on one side or the other, they came up with the two being teams, one from each side, so they could keep one another in check. So in short, all those in power put their backing behind it, and those chosen to work on keeping the peace within the organization were given licence outside the law to keep the peace as they saw fit.

Does that sound good?
~Pulling up to the edge of the water Seishu drops the other male's hand and just looks at it. The breeze fluttering by doesn't seem to disturb the surface but as he watches Enasi reaches out and touches it gently. His eyes follow the ripples, each one growing fainter and fainter as it moves away.

It acts real too.

I wonder how long we can stay here.

I mean, is this like a human dream or nightmare?

Will it pass in moments?


Not wanting to pass up even a second in this new and exciting place Seishu looks around, throwing his arms wide so the breeze can caress every part of his body. Slowly, words find their way to his lips. “A brighter. . . light. . .” Suddenly a shock rocks his system as high overhead just what they needed appears in the “sky”. The land, water, and two guardians are bathed in the cool blue light of a full moon. Seishu's eyes water at the sudden brightness and for a moment he can't tear his eyes off of it. When at last he does the wonder inside him increases even more as Enasi's prediction proves true.

The lake drops off from the very edge, like a bowl. However the bottom of this sand colored bowl seems to be covered in gemstones. A myriad of colors dance and sparkle far below and Seishu smiles wide. Looking down at his own refection he watches as the gems seem to be a part of his dancing hair. With a chuckle he takes hold of the hem of his button-up, for some reason present even though in the real world he is topless, and in one smooth motion he pulls it off. His smile is warm as he looks to his counterpart. “ don't know about you, but I'm not going to miss this.” Leaning in close he whispers, “Join me. . .” before turning to the lake and following a fine graceful arc over the surface, he dives in with a faint splash.

The water is cool against his skin, but not cold. His pants don't feel uncomfortable even though in the real world they most likely would have tugged at him and felt rough in such a situation. His legs kick out behind him as he swims around beneath the surface.

Doesn't seem like I need to breath in this place.

He smiles and swims back and forth, waiting to see what Enasi chooses to do.~
Rei watches the young man rise, his eyes watching his movements carefully. 'He seems far steadier today. I have heard of egos before, and the danger of bruising one. I pray his father does not seek out to sooth it by giving me a hard time. That would be counter productive' Instead of replying to the man's question his head turns towards the door where the sound of shuffling feet draws his attention. It isn't long before they move off but Rei still listens carefully until they are a goodly distance away. 'I suppose I will have to get use to knocking if I can not simply walk into rooms as I have always done. Though this will prove to make defending people more difficult'

Following behind the prince several paces behind he reaches into his bag to retrieve the scarf. Stopping a good yard and a half away from the young man his listens silently as he turns the headscarf into a headband and slips it under the bristle of his bangs and around his head. 'Defending these people sounds like an interesting challenge. It sounds as if I will have plenty of time to observe many different kinds of people' His gaze comes up to meet that of the prince. 'However I am confident he will remain the most interesting' Blinking slowly he formulated his responses to the sudden pouring of information.

“I will most likely map out the palace tonight, keeping to myself to make the job go more swiftly. I understand this rule about the west wing, however I will need to see it as well, however I will be more stealthy than the rest of my tour if it would please you. No one will see me.” Slipping his fingers beneath the headband he settles it into a comfortable position, curving his fingers over the tips of his ears to make sure they are covered before pulling the fabric tight so he can tie it. “I will do my best not to be rude, however I have very little practice with social graces seeing as I was raised by assassins and after killing them and returning home the majority of my kind avoid me like a plague of boils. Perhaps it would be best if I avoid speaking unless absolutely necessary as I do in my home village.”

Securing the knot in a comfortable place Rei turns his head from side to side serving the dual purpose of making sure it isn't pulling any hairs and showing the prince that his ears appear completely human now. “As for being strict. . .” His voice becomes a little distant. “I understand rules. I grew up with a lot of them, and breaking them meant death so I have become quite skilled at following them when they are important.” Blinking again he turns to look back at the young man who is now essentially his master. “My room would be a good place to go. I assume the clothes you picked out for me are ready? From your own words, the sooner I change out of these, the better. Lead the way.” His tone is soft and exacting, his methodical nature coming through loud and clear.
Yay! More idealistic foolish drivel!
Amano's stomach does a little flip at the smile Illiendi flashes his way, and he carefully leans forward on to his elbows. As the other man speaks his hands come up, lacing their fingers together before his presses them just beneath his nose, propping his head up with his thumbs. 'I is so odd, the things people treasure over their lives' He muses, getting only slightly ill at the thought of what's going to happen to those people who dared try and steal him away from the world. 'It is so foolish! All of these things could have happened naturally, save maybe the forgetting one, and still these people. . .' His brows furrow. 'On that line, I suppose my life could happen seconds from now, but at least I can claim my out of no vanity or twisted sense of power. . .'

With a sigh he glances up at Illiendi and swallows hard. 'I suppose now we should talk about this stupid idea I have' Clearing his throat he shifts his eyes around the room once before speaking in a low voice. “That sounds like exactly what I asked for, thank you.” Dragging his eyes back to the being sitting across from him he steels himself. “There is no doubt you are an amazing, being, and you could give me anything I desire. I think it would be rude to just send you off to do whatever pops into my mind as I think of them, so instead I'm hoping for something a little more. . . .” His mind casts about for the right way to put it. “I'm the youngest son, no one expects anything of me. And while I'm sure you could kill my siblings and make me the next successor, or something else as easy as that, however that just wouldn't feel right to me.”

His hands drop down to the table, sliding against one another until he's gripping his elbows softly. “You are obviously wise and intelligent, and that's just what a simple guy like me needs to get ahead in this world.” Staring at his hands his voice drops to a whisper. “I want you to stay with me, and teach me how to make my own fortune. I don't want success to just be handed to me, I wanna work for it.” His gaze shifts up to Illiendi. “I want you to be my companion and mentor as I find my place in the world. Even if that takes me away from this town or across the seas.” Biting his lip he adds, “This was the least menial task I could think of, and I know it must sound like such a hassle to teach a. . .a human stuff I'm sure you learned years ago, and over the course of your long life, but if we can both get what we need out of it, I'd say it's a win win, you know?” Falling silent he looks up a second later when the server appears with his drink. Looking to Illiendi he motions that he's free to get something as well, should he want it. The server however gives Amano a 'Who the hell did you bring in here boy?!' look, which Amano returns with a sheepish grin.
~A thrill runs through his body at the sound of Enasi's voice and he chuckles lightly. He watches as the other discovers the newness beneath them and murmurs, “A wonderful feeling, isn't it?” Dragging his foot across the tips of the blades of grass he sighs. He follows Enasi's gaze to the emptiness around them, which is not nearly as empty as it was before. His heart leaps at the sight of little pinpricks of light in the distance.

So beautiful.

I wonder what they are. . .


Then the Dream Guardian speaks again. He can feel his heart sink a bit. “So you've been all alone here too. . .” The simple statement tugs at his chest but something about the place around them draws away the dark feelings and he ends up smiling. A shock runs through him as suddenly a fresh evening breeze flows over them, tossing his hair about his body. He hadn't even noticed before that his battle braid was gone in this realm.

With a faint chuckle he squints his eyes, a sparkle in the distance reminding him of starlight on water catching his attention.

A lake?

The energy around them feels so strange. It's not positive, it's not negative. Seishu can only think of it as a pleasant neutral and with a laughing he reaches out to Enasi. The mark on the back of his hand pulsates as he takes Enasi's hand in his own, the two symbols coming closer together than they have ever been as Seishu pulls the other guardian to his feet. Without a word he takes off full speed towards the lake, somehow knowing that Enasi will be able to keep up just fine as he practically flies.
