Mina wasn't the only one who'd gotten a chat from Terra.  Granted his came in the morning before she left to greet the other clan.  Basically her telling him to stop treating her like another one of his subordinates that he kept at arms length.  Yes Syn was affectionate and kind to his people but not many of them got close enough to him that he'd really open up.  Terra was the only one who knew most about him simply because of how long she'd been with him.  Terra and Raven were the two closest friends he had, Sasha coming in at third since she came in about thirty years after he took the title of Lord.  While Mina was up showering, Syn was sitting in the living room with Sasha.<br/><br/>"Think I should do as Terra suggested?"<br/>'<i>Syn.  I think you should do what you feel is best.  Though I will admit, when you're with that little Witch, you do seem happier.  More open and much more protective</i>.'<br/>Syn couldn't argue with the protective part but at the same time, she was a human Witch.  Yes she'd live much longer than a normal human but she wasn't immortal.  She could be, but it was a very difficult spell and it usually cost more than most were willing to give.  Then again, Demon's had a nifty little trick to bind one's soul to their own but that had to be completely consensual between the two and IF one of the two decided they didn't want the other...it became a serious issue after that.  Syn had seen that happen a handful of times.  A Witch or Warlock mates with a demon.  They share souls then a few centuries later, usually the human, gets bored and cocky about the immortality.  What many humans tend to forget is demon's mate for life.  So when the human leaves and breaks that bond, both individuals perish.<br/><br/>Rubbing his face he decided to put that thought on the back burner for now and just focus on the now.  Speaking of which.  Seeing Mina come into the main foyer he stood up and smiled as he walked over to her.<br/>"Nice to see you managed to find the rare clothes that cover most of you."<br/>He said as he chuckled, then slid his hand into Mina's as they walked out of the manor and into the streets of his city.  As they walked, several demons stopped and bowed or just waved from across the street.  This earned them a polite smile or a friendly wave but if Mina paid attention closely, she'd see that the smile wasn't truly happy.  He was just being polite.  Yes he cared for his people but it was plain as day that he kept those feelings at a certain level.<br/><br/>Getting to the festival Syn smiled as he walked over to a vendor and got some treats for the two of them.  Paying like everyone else and waiting in line like everyone else despite demon's telling him that he could go ahead of them or the vendors telling him that he didn't need to pay.  Syn just shook his head and acted like an average joe.
