"Do you think we have enough?" Mei asked, eyeing the six spools of fabric her and I were carrying. With was all basic linen fabric in white, black, red, blue, green, and pink.

"We can always come and get more if we need to," I assured her, adjust the spools I was carrying. Today we were making new clothing for all of the children, even in other countries. Just simple outfits, but they haven't gotten new ones since last year, so it was time.

Someone suddenly approached me from behind, wrapping their arms around my waist. I stiffened in shock."Hello beautiful," they whispered into my ear. I relaxed, recognizing the voice anywhere.

"Hey Sin," I responded, pushing out of his grip on me. "What are you doing in the market? Don't you have paper work of something King related you have to do?"

"I'm gonna head back," Mei quickly whispered to me and hurried off out of the curious eyes of everyone around. If course who wouldn't want to know who their womanizing King was filling with this time. Many people got sad that it was me, but little did they know it was a serious relationship, and not some fling.

"You always come to me, so I thought today I'd come to you," he explained with an overly forced smile. I felt that was a cover to his true intentions.

"Do you have work to do and the only place you can hide from Ja'far is outside of the palace?" I asked the best guess I had. He tried to hide the look of surprise and worry. "I'll take that as a yes." I turned to continue walking back. "I'll let it slide this once."

His hurried footsteps could be heard to catch up to me. "Let me help you with that," Sin offered, reaching to grab the spools from me.

"No," I hissed pulling them out if his reach, "I am perfectly fine."

"What kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't help my girlfriend carry her things," he tries to tease his way into assisting me.

"You're not a gentleman, you're a womanizer," I clarified his mistake. I heard people walking past snicker at my comment. I was suddenly picked up off my feet and was being carried bridal styled in Sin's arm. I was blushing ferociously from embarrassment.

He had a proud smirk in his face. "There we both get what we want," he said through that adorable, arrogant smile of his, "You cans till carry your things, and I get to help you."

"But me down," I begged in a high-pitched voice, trying to blurry my burying face at the tops of the spools.

"Nope," he laughed, throwing me up a bit to adjust his hold on me. "I like you right where you are." His lips managed to find mine for a short second. I groaned and hid my face away from his ammused glaze.

He took few wrong turns, but I quickly corr cited him, and we somehow managed to get to the orphanage, without my dying of embarrassed anxiety. "Great you're back!" Mei greeted us. "We need these," she came and took the spools from me, not even commenting how I entered in the arms of my boyfriend.

I slowly followed after her, having Sin follow me like a timid puppy. I noticed the entire staff of four was there sewing. "What do you need me to do?" I asked, picking up a pair of scissors.

"We got everything covered," Nina answered with a smile. "You haven't been here the past couple of years, so we're used to it."

"Oh," I said, keeping a smile on my face through my dejected feelings. "Well I'll be around if you need any help..." I reluctantly slugged out of the room, keeping a calm face. "Well my schedule just got cleared, what do you want to do?" I asked him in as cheery of a tone as I could manage.

"Ady," my Sin sighed, placing a hand on my cheek. He could obviously see through my phasad.

"Miss Audy!" three children ran down the hall, Mavi gathered king quickly remind himself if PDA.

"Can we practice magic?" the eldest one begged, "We haven't in weeks."

"Of course," I laughed, ruffling their hair. "Let's go get your staffs." They started running down the hall to my office. I giggled and followed the three energetic children.

"Magic?" Sin questioned, following behind me.

"They can channel ruhk, so it's my job to teach them," I answered with a shrug. There were all bouncing at the foot of a shelf I kept the practice staffs in. I brought them down. "No offensive magic until I'm out there," I reminded the three as they grabbed the stuffs and were gone with he wind.

"So do I get to see Teacher Ady now?" Sin asked, sling an arm over my shoulder.

"You get to see supervisor Audria now," I answered, showing him the back yard after the orphanage. He looked at me questioningly. "I highly believe in self learning. I thought them the basics and left them to research the rest with all the resources I offer, even to come ask me anything. But it's still magic so they need to be supervised when doing it."

He froze in a bit of awe of the feild I called the backyard. The orphanage was on the edge of the town so there was a large feild at our disposal. In a tree hung a swing, whole through many was a tree fort. There were a few training dummies, and a path through a mountain that would lead to the sea. All over the place was toys balls and wooden swords. It was any child's dream, or man-child's dream.

He was shocked out of his day dream by the sudden light of a fireball from one of the mage practicing. "You're fire magic is getting better Jin," I praised the kid.

I suddenly felt a pair of arms wrapped around me from behind. "You should be proud of what you built here," Sin commented, resting his head on top of mine.

"I am," I said. He hummed in disagreement. I sighed, figuring it was time I told him. "When I first started the orphanages it was only Mei and I with the occasional help from my friends. Mei was utterly useless then so I needed to do everything, but I had nothing against that. But now I do nothing..." I leaned back I to his chest as I let out breath I didn't know I was holding.

"It's alright for things to change Ady," my best friend sighed don't my hair, "It happens all the time."
