The palm trees swayed in the gentle breeze. The air, although warm, provided needed relief from the hot sun and gently brushed against the skin. The twinkling time of early evening was when those apart daily began the reconnection and safety of nights at home with loved ones.

Alya was, once again, outside in one of the courtyards that surrounded the Palace. As she was playing with Rajar, she developed a sense that she was being watched. She turned and in the doorway was a familiar figure. Jasmine stood with her hands clasped watching the courtyard, her face clearly in thought. When Alya stopped, Jasmine came up towards her, Alya standing still as Jasmine approached. Rajar, being instinctive, understood immediately that the "party" was over. When he was returned to his crate,Jasmine had sat down with her,

"Sorry about my husband, he can be a little nervous when it comes to visitors.", began Jasmine.

"But I'm his sister.", said Alya.

"Well..same thing.",joked Jasmine.

The both of them had shared a laugh with each other.

"Anyway, my husband, also known as your brother, can be a little nervous at times." , restarted Jasmine.

"I could see that.",agreed Alya.

She was paying close attention as what Jasmine was saying to her.

"I understand that because I have seen it before in other situations he has been confronted with. It usually is when he doesn't know what will happen. He reacts strongly. That is his personality and this was his first time that he met someone who is related to him.",explained Jasmine.

"I could imagine.", Alya agreed.

"That is why I'm thinking, why don't you two start spending time with each other to get to know each other?.",said Jasmine.

Alya was silent for a while.

"Okay. I'll get to know him.",said Alya.

She stood up and walked off back to the dining room where Aladdin was about to begin his dinner meal.
