Enasi laughed softly and then out of spite stole a quick kiss. "How could I possibly make your minions jealous?" It was rhetorical, and more so of a tease but nonetheless he decided not to get so worked up over Tiski's antics. . . Unless she started x-raying him again. He had started to wrap his arms around the guardian into a hug, but was suddenly moved back. Enasi gave a pout at first before realizing something was wrong. What it was, was beyond Enasi though. . . "Seishu?" He called out in effort for him to explain what was going on. He stepped forward, only to be stopped by the others, making him even more so worried. He tried to listen and tried to see whatever was in the distance, but the trees were to thick. Enasi tried to seek out any odd energies, but he could only sense around the camp, and trying to branch out any further would require him to release the barrier he was using.
Fortunately, Seishu returned an instant later. By his expression and his stature, once more the Dream Guardian tried to take a step forward. This time, a hand rested on his shoulder to stop him. He didn't protest out loud, but in his eyes it was obvious that he demanded to be let go in order to figure out what was wrong. The team didn't budge. They held straight faces and watched Seishu move closer. As soon as they let go, Enasi closed the distance between the two before attempting to look into Seishu's silver eyes with wide, concerned ones. Enasi's hands slipped into Seishu's in support, obviously thinking something was going in disarray in his workd and minions. Enasi felt his heart drop for a brief moment when Seishu finally made eye contact.
There were too many emotions that weren't good ones. . . Something was really wrong. . . And why did he have the sickening feeling that it had something to do with him? Enasi held his hands a little tighter, giving them a firm squeeze. In the second Seishu managed to say what he needed, Enasi let go of Seishu's hands slowly. "Rue. . . What does he have to do with anything. . ?" The guardian didn't want to believe what Seishu's was expression was telling him. It couldn't be true. It- it wasn't possible!
Those two toned eyes looked back into the darkened forest and he immediately grabbed on to Seishu. It was on impulse as he thought of how bad it would be for Rue to be all alone in the Nightmare Realm. His initial reaction was to run in there and save his minion. Holding on to Seishu was preventing that from happening, no matter how much he wanted to take off into the forest. His grip on the male's sleeve only grew tighter as his worry kicked in. So far, he was doing okay. He was maintaining composure as hard as it was.
Despite such, Enasi wouldn't say anything. If he said anything at the moment it would be a fit of worry and panic for the minion and he knew that if he slipped, so would his energy and then more things would go wrong. Kaila took a step forward looking slightly concerned for the Dream Guardian, unsure of what exactly happened. "What would you like us to do sir?" Kaila and the others waited for their instructions.
^^^^^^^-^^^^^^-^^^^^^-^^^^^^
A soft groan escaped the lips of the fairy as he pushed off his arms. "Yeesh. . . What happened?" His wings twitched and a small, white spark shot from them. He remembered flying around, feeling so close to whatever he was going to discover. He had been getting faster and faster, reminding himself that he'd need a pair of goggles if he was going to keep it up, and then all of a sudden there was a flash, a few bright lights and he was- Rue gasped and his head whirled this way and that taking a good look at his surroundings. "Please tell me I just past out, pleeaase just tell me I past out. . ."
But the negative energy started to surround him and he started to feel sick. "How- How did I end up here. Of all places. . . Here!?" Rue doubled over and instinctively rose his own energy, keeping it tight around him so he wouldn't cause too much trouble with the world. "Man Seishu is going to kill me. . ." He flinched and whined at the thought of how upset Enasi would be as well. "Please forgive me Lord Enasi. I have no clue how this happened."
The boy had to admit. . . It felt right. Not landing in the Nightmare Realm, but flying as fast as he did. He wasn't quite sure what this calling was considering it only landed him into trouble.

"Harper! I don't see him anywhere. Not a scent of him. The trail just stops!" Rasha panted as he slid to a stop in his human form. "I had Finn and Starla check the area as well. They said the plants are telling them anything. The wild animals haven't seen him either." Harper had finaly calmed the growing crowd in order for them to get back to their daily lives. The rabbit huffed and nodded to Rasha. Once more, the problem was between the little group. He didn't want things to get out of hand. And he surely needed to find the fairy before Enasi got back.
"Alright. The only place we haven't checked is the kingdom itself. You head over there and I'll get the guards to check the barriers once again. We will find him. Also, make sure they stay calm." Even though he said they, Rasha knew he meant Inui specifically. The male turned back into his cat form and took off the opposite way of Harper.
"Emergency check troops. I need everyone on patrol on full alert. If you find or sense the slightest thing out of place, I need you to tell me at once. This is no time to question and no time to be lazy on the job. I need you out now!" Harper instructed to the troops.
"Sir!" They spoke in unison and headed out to their stations as quick as they could go. No one questioned, no one hesitated. They did as they were told, leaving Harper to hurry back to the castle.

The Emperor noticed the slight pause in Akito's behavior, but didn't catch his little mistake. So, he continued his warming smile as Akito agreed. "Wonderful. My wife and I can talk to the general about the future event and the likes."
"This will have be wonderful! I can't wait to help with choosing the decorum." The Empress was off in her own little world thinking of different styles and colors they could use and that would fit Hironori just right. She eyed Akito a couple of times, but figured they would have to dress him up a couple of times in order to see what looked best. Then again, he probably could use a good scrub after being out and about with war duties and being outside. . .even if he had been cleaned up for the event. Akito might as well learn about the pampered life anyway.
Hiro finished eating and a servant gathered his plate. He waited for Akito to finish and then stood, excusing himself from the table. His hands were behind his back as he prepared to walk out the room, expecting Akito to follow. "A lot of these extra rooms, I don't really go in. Some of them are just nice to look at or are great for peaceful meditation.
As they headed out, the Emperor managed to add a rather sly comment with a smirk. "Do you plan on showing him your bedroom as well? I did assume he'd take up residence there." Hiro paused for a short moment, glancing back at him. He lightly patted Akito's shoulder and smiled. "That's his decision where he wants to sleep. I have plenty of space so I would not mind at all." He smiled at his betrothed and then gestured forward. "But we won't worry about that now. So no need to get all worked up alright Akito?"

Aoba set Kuro's bag of clothes right on the couch. The materials for the door were set right beside it so they could get it fixed when they had the chance. The two weren't gone very long so there was little that needed to be done. The animals were fed and out grazing so he didn't need to tend to them, and everything else that needed to be handled- well, he supposed he could walk around and take a look to see if anything needed to be taken care of. As his thoughts wandered, he turned to his two demon companions as they walked in. He smiled as Kuro walked up, but with only a serious glance from Kuro, he gave a questioning look.
As Kuro explained what was going on, Dani watched Aoba closely with crossed arms to see how he'd react. Especially since Kuro gave the boy little leeway to speak. His eyes followed his younger brother as he vanished outside and then once more rested on Aoba, who was now scratching his head in confusion. "He's leaving? Where to? It sounded urgent."
Happy that Aoba didn't show any outward signs of panic, Dani relaxed and followed him out the door toward the field. "He's just taking a little trip home. That's all." He didn't see the need in telling the fallen angel exactly why. It seemed like it was one of those things that he'd get panicky about. Then again, there were a lot of things the angel would probably get panicky about. He paused along side Aoba and looked around to make sure no one harmful was around, relaxing once more when it was clear.
'A trip home? Right, he is a demon. . . So that means he went home to hell.' "Oh. . . Okay. Well, if he's only going to be gone for an hour, I might as well see if there are weeds to pull." Aoba received a shrug from Dani as he took post on a fence. Obviously he wouldn't be of much help so the fallen angel walked row by row in order to pull out any of the weeds he had seen- after finding gloves so he wouldn't hurt his hands. It had quite literally only been only five minutes before Dani had gotten bored of watching Aoba and smelling out nothing dangerous. He had already messed with the animals and Mama was so busy with that baby that she couldn't spare a conversation. So, he stretched out his wings and flew over to Aoba. He didn't a say word, not wanting to admit to being bored. Instead, he gave a childish pout that made Aoba smile. "Want to help me?"
Instead of answering, Dani huffed in response making Aoba laugh. "Okay, well all the things that look like this need to be pulled out. Like so," He stopped at one weed protruding out of the ground. He bent down and tugged as hard as he could until it was out of the ground. "That's it!" Dani hummed and nodded flying off to the opposite end of the field. He noticed Kuro would always start on the opposite end of the field when they were working and it normally got things done a lot quicker. The task was pretty easy, but he found some entertainment in it. Aoba watched for a moment and then called out to Dani. "Good job! Add it all to the pile over there!"

Perfect idea to urge them to do the challenges Fox. That sounds funny.
As for Tavern songs, I can't help there.
Don't worry, I've been lurking around. Just haven't posted anything.
And hey, if you still want me to join, then I'd be happy to join. The time change- post per week means 5/7 days we're suppose to post right?
Also, you did say twoish or so weeks to wait. Sooo... No need to apologize.
Cool about the new player [again hah]. Does that mean anything is changing with all that Skype discussing we went through?
*Goes back to lurking*
Enasi turned his head when he heard shifting behind him, and right after Seishu wrapped his arms around him. "Early? It's hard to tell with the moon always up." He teased and smiled before turning to Tyar. Seeing the transformation and how giddy Seishu became over it made him smile. Despite the rough and scary nature of some of the minions, he treated them like adorable babies or puppies. But then again, they were adorable babies in his eyes. He was their guardian. This was what he was used to. Enasi felt a little bad for depriving him of his home, but the silly acts were enough to get his mind off of it. Seishu rolled on top if and kissed his minions, making him laugh. "How cute." He speaks to no one in particular, but since Tyar was still by his side, it nodded as if agreeing with him.
Soon enough, the entire camp was bombarding him with affection. 'I hope I wasn't the cause of all of them waking up at once.' Every once and awhile, Enasi got a little nervous when their affections got a little rough, but he bit his lip and glanced down at Tyar. "He had injuries. Still does for that matter. . . Will he be okay being tackled like that?" Tyar smiled politely and nodded.
"With all of the energy he's able to take in now, it should be enough to heal him a lot more than your treatments," Tyar quickly added with its airy voice, "which obviously were greatly appreciated." It didn't want to offend the Dream Guardian in anyway, but seeing Enasi giggle lightly towards the correction, it realized all was fine. He laughs a little more as Seishu is showered in love and affection. In the Dream Realm, they had the same amount of love for their guardian just as the nightmares did, they just didn't express it as abundantly as the nightmares were doing. The way the nightmares expressed it looked dangerous anyway. It was funny to watch and so adorable how Seishu was so happy about it. It was practically heart warming.
His attention went back to Tyar after nodding his greeting to those who had took position around him. The minions that didn't get to latch on to Seishu had become curious of the guardian that was all alone, but that was deterred when Seishu's personal helpers took up their positions. Being courteous, Lan spoke to Enasi. He also didn't want him to feel anymore out of place than he was. "Sleeping on the ground didn't hurt too bad did it?" Those two colored eyes blinked and then he smiled.
"Oh, no. Not at all."
Tiski couldn't help but smirk a little deviously and chime in. "Probably because he was all cuddled up on Lord Seishu, hmmm?" Enasi blushed lightly and smiled. Playfully, he stuck out his tongue and retorted.
"Is that so wrong?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Morning, or what could be assumed as morning, rose in the Dream Realm and Harper was up bright and early. He headed out for his morning patrol as usual, but today it was to keep himself occupied. He knew he couldn't expect the Dream Guardian back so soon, but it didn't hurt to hope. As he walked out of the palace, he passed Crios with his nose stuck in some files. "You're going to wear yourself out like that Harper. . . Remember to take a break." Crios never looked up or stopped walking as he spoke, but Harper did pause for a brief second.
"You have your ways to cope, and I have mine." This made Crios look back as Harper walked off, but with a sigh he continued on his way.
Somewhere in the middle of his patrol, the sudden spike of energy appeared and then disappeared, causing him to turn his head. As he did, Rue raced past causing the wind to pick up. "That kid is getting faster and faster with all this practicing. . . I wonder if he even notices."

Everything settled after the small panic with Hoko. Seeing the prince scramble back made the servants all step forward at once to aid him, but they all paused as the Emperor raised his hand for them to calm. Hiro continued eating, but took interest in his mother's and Hoko's interaction. Occasionally his eyes fell on Akito, who was still embarrassed about the entire situation. 'Poor guy is going to explode from embarrassment. How adorable.' He chuckled to himself and continued to eat. The Empress didn't realize she had fed most of her food to the cute little creature until the Emperor chuckled and rested a hand on her shoulder. "Dear, you should probably eat as well."
"Hm, oh right." She smiled and then looked over to the closest servant. Without a word, she hurried over and traded out the picked off plate for a fresh one. "Hoko was it? He seems to like it, you can give him that if you want." She gave a grin before eating. The Emperor on the other hand had finished.
"Oh! I've got a perfect idea!" He clasped his hands together, causing all eyes to fall on him. "How about you give him a tour of the palace Hiro? Show him around, make him feel welcomed!" The Emperor looked truly proud of his idea. It wasn't like Hiro could just deny his father's wishes...not including protesting against a tradition. "Well? What do you think Moronaga? Does that sound like a good idea to you? I'm sure a tour with the servants won't be as...entertaining." He chuckled and pushed his plate forward, stealing glances at their expressions towards the news.
All the while, Akito's father stayed silent until he was called upon. His food was delicious, so he didn't mind not having to speak for the time being. It had been quite awhile since he was able to enjoy such exquisite things. Hearing the idea, he refrained from showing any emotion about it, knowing that it would have probably just been surprise and a sigh hoping Akito wouldn't embarrass himself more than he had already done. He was sure Akito was probably thinking the same thing.
To entertain his mother and to appease his father, Hironori smiled and nodded. "I think that would be a wonderful idea. After all, he'll have to know his way around the palace soon enough." This made Hiro's father give a curious look, wondering what his son was planning. He was only given an innocent look before Hiro finished eating.
"So, Akito. How old are you?" Hiro spoke up as he finished. The male didn't look all that old. In fact, he looked fairly young to be a war hero, but that seemed to be all the more reason to ask.
"Hm, oh right." She smiled and then looked over to the closest servant. Without a word, she hurried over and traded out the picked off plate for a fresh one. "Hoko was it? He seems to like it, you can give him that if you want." She gave a grin before eating. The Emperor on the other hand had finished.

Aoba stuck his tongue out playfully when he was pat on the head. "Thanks, I think." He smiled and huffed a little. "Let's just go get the items." He spoke with a playful annoyance, and then followed Kuro into the much cooler hardware store. He remembered the first time be had paid a visit to the store. He was practically terrified of all the people, but now they were. . .peculiar and interesting to examine. "Well, the door isn't that bad. Just a few holes. I say we go with just patching it up." If he remembered correctly, Father Gerard said that their money was limited. By the way things were done, meaning, as he watched Kuro pay for things, he noticed that sometimes he'd have to give a lot away and sometimes less. It was all based on the numbers on the tags. Obviously, he never had to buy anything. The closest way of purchasing he had ever gotten to was trading out old medical materials for new ones.
Aoba would eventually have to learn, especially since he was going to have to live the rest of his mortal life on Earth. As they walked out the store with supplies and clothes in hand, the fallen angel gave a curious look. "Since I'm mortal now, does that mean I'll get old and wither away like the humans do." He didn't sound upset about it, only because he was more worried about various other things, like death by random demons. To emphasize his point, an elderly male was sitting slowly making his way to the diner, using a cane. "Eh.." So maybe he was a little worried about aging too.
As soon as they got to a more secluded area, Kuro flew them off back home. Dani had scented them out before they had gotten there and quickly moved out of the pig pen after patting one of the pigs head. "Took you guys long enough." He spoke when the two landed.
"Aw, you didn't have fun watching the animals?" Aoba spoke with a slightly teasing manner before walking past to set the bag of clothes he was carrying into the house. The fallen angel had the urge to go and check on the animals, but he also felt that it would upset Dani more if he knew he was worried. He sighed softly, trusting that things were okay. If they weren't, Kuro would probably spot them out.
