Orren blushed in wonder when Addy kissed his cheek. When she disappeared behind the door he smiled broadly. She must like him at least a little bit he thought. Wanting to get everything ready for her family he went from room to room and made sure there was enough wood in the rooms and double checked the blankets and towels in the rooms even though he had already done it before. He went outside and chopped more firewood. Since demons didn't exactly sleep he had all night to wander around and chop wood and stack it in every room that was going to be in use. 

Orren also pulled out his cloaks that he had not worn since Adelina had gotten there. He needed to make certain that her brother and father didn't see his form. He was focussed on Adelina and how much he wanted to hold her in his arms. Looking down at his hands and arms he saw a huge problem. The spines and claws would create quite a problem for holding a delicate young lady such as herself. He went out to the gardening building behind the castle. There was a great pair of gardening sheers in there and he went to work on his claws immediately. He was surprised at how difficult they were to cut. At least this he managed without bloodshed unlike the spines when he started slicing them off.

Pulling on his cloak and a very large pair of gloves he went outside at day break and melted all of the snow on the walkway and shovelled it clear so James and the doctor could get the men inside safely. Once James opened the gates and the horse pulled the buckboard into the property Orren yelled upstairs.  [color=0072bc]"Addy! They are here!"[/color] He went back outside and He carefully lifted her father and carried him inside. This particular cloak covered him from head to toe and the only thing visible of Orren was his eyes. He carried him upstairs and into the room closest to Addy's. He lay him down on the bed and the doctor was right there behind him. 

Orren turned to the doctor. [color=0072bc]"I have arranged for you to have a room between them. I assume James made it clear that your services are needed here 24 hours a day until they are better?"[/color] The doctor nodded and smiled. He would be getting paid handsomely for this and he was well aware of it.

When he went back out and lifted her brother he could feel the tension coming off of the young man. He said nothing and carried him to his assigned room and put him in his bed. 

After coming back downstairs Orren heard little giggles and grinned as he began to look around for the little squirt. [color=0072bc]"Is that my Emmie I hear?"[/color] He said to the room he heard her in. The little girl giggled again and ran out from behind a curtain and jumped into his arms. 

[color=Orange]"Orren! Why are you wearing this?"[/color] The little girl was pulling at the cloak. [color=orange]"Take it off! I like your horns."[/color]

Orren chuckled and lifted her into the air. [color=0072bc]"Since the others can't come downstairs I guess I can take it off now."[/color]

James had passed them and gone into the kitchen and was doing dishes and grumbling about it the entire time. He grinned when Orren and Emmie came in. [color=yellow]"I figured you'd be hiding out for a while so I snagged Emmie from my sister. The instant I said your name, Emmie was not to be left behind." [/color]Emmie was a cute little curly topped four year old who had only known Orren as he was now. She had immediately thought him the coolest person on the planet because of his horns, that and he would play with her when other adults wouldn't. Orren picked up his little playmate and whisked her away amidst a ton of giggles and took her to the ballroom to play.

After taking off the cloak and gloves Emmie looked at him and frowned. [color=orange]"What happened to your claws and the prickly things on your chest?"[/color] He sat down on the ground and she stood there and poked one of the places he had cut off a spine.[color=orange] "Does it hurt?"[/color] She said while messing with it. 

[color=0072bc]"A little but that will go away. So what do you want to do?"[/color] Emmie grinned and he knew he was in trouble.
