Disowned

He was meeting his mom, he'd been surprised she'd been willing to meet up with him at all. Aaron landed in an alley, his wings vanishing as he did, he wasn't sure what to expect, if it'd be anything more than confirmation that things between them was broken, but he wanted to at least try and talk to her.

The half vampire took some slow breaths both to steady his nerves and to focus on his aura, drawing it in and shutting it off, he didn't have the control quite nailed down, but he was getting there, hopefully it'd stay off long enough. Taking another breath, he stepped out of the alley and headed down the sidewalk, the people passing him did so without giving him even giving him a look. It was nice going unnoticed, not getting any unwanted attention from the people around him, it felt normal, it felt good.

The he saw her, sitting at the small table, it was the first time he'd seen her since moving out. He wasn't sure what to expect from this meeting, if it would even accomplish anything at all, but he had to at least try. "Uh....hey," he said as he walked up, hoping his aura wouldn't spike because of his nerves, "I...it's good to see you." Aaron couldn't remember ever being this nervous before in his life.

He'd kept what had happened between them, well his therapist knew, but that was about it. Aaron nodded and took a seat, it'd taken so long to learn to shut his aura off, he still didn't have it completely figured out, but he was getting there.

"Just school and work," he noticed her choice of words, she was acting as if he hadn't been more or less kicked out, but he didn't say anything, "nothing else really." His social life had become somewhat nonexistent after he'd been outed as a demon, so he just focused on other things.

"What about you?" he wasn't really sure what to say, how to say it, seemed like it it wou
be awkward one way or another, "how are you?"

"Yeah, I work night hours at a shop, don't sleep so I thought it was a good use of time," it was a simple charm and potion shop, only had a few customers at night, it was boring but kept him busy and get him some money.

He saw the looks she had, he assumed she thought he was working at one of the brothels, not true of course, if anything he'd been looking for ways to not to have to use them eventually. For now it was required he visit one three times a day.

Aaron nodded, "I did yeah," her more or less kicking him out hadn't been pleasant to say the least, luckily the school had been there. "The dorms are pretty nice," he was used to cleaning and taking care of things, so living alone wasn't all that different.

"We've talked yeah," he wasn't sure if he should tell her how it went, or to keep it between him and Alma, in the end he decided not to tell her for now.

He wasn't really sure how to keep the conversation going, to talk to her about everything that had happened. "I'm happy you're doing well," he'd been worried about them, though be supposed there wasn't anything to really worry about, they'd be ok.

"I....," he was a social person, always enjoyed talking to people, yet here he was having trouble finding the right things to say "How's work?" he asked, he didn't actually know what she did for work really, she'd always said office work, but he wasn't sure if he believed that anymore. "Everything going ok?"
