Mako listened attentively and took special notice of the angst held towards the town people for doing what they thought was right. He could understand how that would anger her and hurt him, in a community like that, everyone would be close and know each other well. To be turned on like that...Mako mentally shook his head. That was a train of thought he didn't want to explore right then. However, he felt a need to address Alan's hope with some cold reality in the form of wisdom he might appreciate. [color=DarkOrange]"Alan, I understand you want your father to love you, and given time, he just might. But as it stands, nothing will change who he is at this juncture. From what I understand of Fiore, magic wasn't just feared that way in your community, it was that way for the last century and only recently began to see positive reactions in the last two decades. Believe me when I say I understand your want, but for now, live for yourself and do what YOU think is right and leave your father out of it. Otherwise, you could get yourself killed."[/color]

"Oi, watch the way you talk, mister!" Aura snapped as she slammed her hands down on the table, "You don't have the first clue what my student here's been through, do you?! We don't need to hear about reality cause we live it every day! Now yo-" She noticed a hand on top of hers, stopping her tirade, "Alan?"

"Aura, that's enough," His tone was calm yet firm, "Mako was just passing along with he knows, there's no reason to get upset at him for that..." Alan sighed as he turned back to Mako, "Sorry about that. My friend here means well but both of us can get a little carried away at times..." He downed the rest of his drink and sighed, "I appreciate you telling me this though. At least now I know that this problem we're facing isn't just an isolated incident...as for my father?"

He shook his head, "I wish it were that simple but...the truth is I don't hate my father. What he did was wrong, very wrong...but at the same time, I think losing his wife during child birth left some deep scars on him that have never healed. I think his memory of her has haunted him, especially when he saw I had inherited so many of her traits...and her magic. I was heart-broken sure and felt betrayed but...I don't know, I guess he's hurting just as much as I was..."

The young man folded his arms and laid back, "Makes me wonder if I'm just running away from my problems now...also, Aura, you should apologize."

Aura frowned over at Mako, "...I still think you need to learn to show a bit more tact...even so..." She bowed her head, "Sorry about my outburst." With that, she flew over beside her partner and laid against his shoulder as if to comfort him.
