Mako had been standing just inside the gate in the market area, looking for someone who might know where he could find the busy guild master of Phoenix Wing, Jamie Beltras, when some one bumped into him from behind, making him stumble forward a couple of steps. Recovering, he turned to face the perpetrator and found they were already apologizing for the mishap as he landed on his rump. "Wahh! Sorry about that!" The young member of the Kurohiko family considered chiding the young man for not paying attention to where he was going, but then he knew that he was as much at fault for it for standing where he was. Offering a hand to the young man, he instead offered a small disarming smile.

[color=DarkOrange]"Nothing to apologize for. I should not have been standing where I was."[/color] Once the offered hand was taken, he would help him up and mentally sigh. Yet another person taller than himself. [color=DarkOrange][i]Maybe this one won't make any jokes about it though...[/i][/color] Realizing he'd not said anything, he opted to introduce himself. [color=DarkOrange]"I'm Mako Kurohiko, from Isvan."[/color]

"Nice to meet you, Mako," Alan said in greetings as he let the man help him up before dusting himself off, "Again, sorry about bumping into you like that. I guess I'm still a bit woozy from my trip here..." He made a small pout at the sprite in his bag, "No thanks to my little companion here. Apparently, she wanted to arrive here in style...and by style I mean nearly causing me to crash into the wall around this city..." In response, Aura only stuck her tongue out playfully. 

"But I digress..." Letting the matter go, Alan turned back to Mako with a sigh, "So, what brings you to these parts, Mako? Here to try your hand at those Grand Magic Games? Or to take in the sights and what this place has got to offer?" The person before him wasn't as tall, certainly, but Alan was not foolish enough to start making jokes, especially considering the height of his companion and her ability to phase through solid objects. 

That, and although he wouldn't say it aloud, being on the roads with himself and just Aura for company tended to get rather dull after a while, so it would be nice to have another of his own kind to chat to for a bit.
