I never meant that Aladdin would actually become Sinbad's Magi. That was never in question. The loss is that from Sinbad's perspective, Aladdin is out of reach and is being held in Kou. From our perspective as viewers, he was never in reach, but as far as Sinbad's concerned Aladdin just got a whole less accessible.

As for Titus, if he's gained any maturity he'll remain somewhat independent.
