Akira watches with an almost shocked expression as Allura tries to down the tankard of ale. "Hey, hey, take it easy will you?" Akira asks slightly concerned with how quickly Allura was trying to chug down the drink. As he watches her slowly accept that she wasn't going to drink it all in one go he says. "It's not a race you know? Don't want to be putting yourself in a drunken state the blacksmith won't let you retrieve your staff if you do." Akira shakes his head as he reaches over and rubs Allura's arm after she had finished coughing over her extreme goal. "and... try not let those idiots get to you." Akira states as he looks over at the taverns many patrons "they're just trying to anger you cause they've got no other way of entertaining themselves in their said little worlds of existence."

He passes Allura a warm smile before lifting his tankard from the tankard and taking a long swig of its contents. The drink barely phased him as he lowers the cup back down to its resting spot. The taste was as empty as most things he'd drink now. Just like Allura it wasn't really essential for anything other then keeping the mortal part of him content, Volkran could go weeks without any type of substance to provide energy. As Allura questioned about Akira's past he replies with. "From what I can remember, sort of yes. Up until the days the hunters took me in I used to live with my family in a small house on the outskirts of a town like this. So full of people, they were always rushing around too busy to give anyone else the slightest bit of notice. Had any of them done so, they may have noticed the corruption that ran down its streets darkening its very core." Akira looks down to the table before making eye contact with Allura once more. "Most of my time growing up was spent in the study and training halls of the Hunters guild, I occasionally went out into the town to collect supplies, but outside of that the guild was my world. What about yourself? Surely the part of you that is mortal wasn't a vessel from the day you were born?" Akira asks somewhat as a 'returning the favour' he'd given his answer to the question it now seemed only fair that he knew of Allura's past, if she could remember it that is.
