Anna was so exhausted that night. Not only she used her magic for the first time (and big failure), she forgot she had to walk back 5 more miles back to Ur's house. She kept glancing to the boys who were not that far age from her thinking how they managed to do all this training without breaking a sweat. It was obvious that the answer would be time and patience but considering their young age its miracle for them to endure it easily.

Ur noticed Anna's breathing was getting heavy and her walking seems not stable enough that she started to walk in zig zag pattern. She walked towards Anna and crouched in front of her. Anna stopped with confused expression over her face.

"What's wrong Ur? You're tired".

Ur shook her head, "I'm going to piggy back you home. This is an order though. You exhausted all your energy in training and I know you are not used to these long distances walk. It would be hassle for us if you collapse on the way home."

Anna was embarrassed by she complied by slowly hugging Ur from behind and being lifted with ease. Ur may look skinny but Anna can feel her well-developed tone muscle in the hug. Even her stomach shown defined muscle line when stripped earlier. Had this woman gone a strenuous training? What was her story before they met? It made Anna eager to know about this gentle yet strong woman.

The walk was faster than Anna predicted. It occurred to Anna that the trio seemed purposely walked in slower pace so that she could keep up with them. Realizing that making Anna more emotional how well they considered and cared for her even though they just met.

In the house, they managed to clean themselves up before going to bed. Anna was given one of the boys' clothes since she didn't have extra clothes with her. Her bag was not there and it could be left in the other world. She couldn't remember how she manage to lose it from her back but it didn't matter now. Though it still sad for her not to have some of her stuff to remind her of her home and family.

They didn't have beds in the house. The only things that they use were mattress that were kept in the corner of the wall. Ur and the boys laid the mattress on the floor and arranged the pillows and blankets before they noticed Anna was staring at them intently.

"Is something wrong?" Gray broke the silence.

"I never sleep on the floor before. And it's been a while I sleep with my family together. I afraid I disturbed your sleep since I was told I snored loudly and I thrashed around a lot," Anna blushed confessing her sleep behavior to them.

"You will get use to it. And it looks like you and Gray shared same habit. He even stripped in his sleep. Maybe he should be sleeping beside you then," Lyon giggled sharing that fact to Anna.

"Why would I do what you said? You're not that far when you always kicked my face and mumbled of your sparring in your sleep. And I do not always strip. If I do, it is this woman's fault that this habit rubs on me…," Gray didn't finish his word when Ur suddenly punched the boys in head.

"I understand why you hit Gray but why me?" Lyon held his head painfully while arguing with Ur.

"Don't blame your exhibitionism habit on me and I felt really annoyed and need to do more punching," Ur said with straight face.

"That's not even legit reason to hit me. And this is child abuse," Lyon mumbled. Gray was just gritting his teeth annoyed with the pain he felt.

Anna suddenly laughed and smiled broadly watching the whole event. She even had to wipe tears from her eyes due to laughing too hard. Ur smiled fondly seeing the child who had been confused and lonely finally smiled genuinely. She patted Anna's head, "Let's sleep little one."

Anna mumbled shyly something to Ur, soft but still audible, "Can I sleep next to you?" Ur just smiled and nodded.

"Why you always called me 'little one' and not my name? I always hear you call Gray and Lyon names." Anna was lying beside to Ur and the mattress was small for two so she had to squeeze a bit. Ur gave the blanket to Anna since she used to the cold. Anna didn't need it actually but the feeling of warm the blanket Ur gave her gave her comfort like someone was hugging her so she accepted it openly.

"I will call you Anna if that is what you want. Just the nickname given to you by me gives a sense of bond that only we ourselves can feel. Its hard to explain but I hope you will understand it someday." Anna blinked at her answer. The answer was not even long but somehow, she felt it was enough.

"Then I will always be your 'little one' then. It's the first time I've been given nickname by someone other than my family," Anna hugged Ur fondly. It was the first hug Anna initiated. It somehow symbolized a complete trust Anna had with her despite of the short amount of time of their meeting.
