3/20 Alma is taken off guard from the sudden hostility, his eyes blink as Lilium aura is urge and moving more closer to Ren than Ten. Her words cut him like a knife , for a moment he flinches and his usual smile was gone. His smile quickly returns, as his aura is press back to Lilium, his hands come together and lace over each other. “This is something your mother originally taught me.”
Alma has rarely brought up his late wife and Lilium mother. For years, he dodge questions or simply not about her. Like, how did they get together, what her mother did for a living, and even why for eight years that he did not have much of presence. “So how about this, Lily. I’ll teach you how to use Nen and I’ll answer some questions regarding your mom.”

Lilium studied her father's expressions, noticing as his usual grin faded away. He frowned for only a moment, but that single second felt like an eternity. She thought of her father as someone who never really was one to show his true emotions, or rather, he was happy-go-lucky most of the time, but pretended not to be angry or sad when he felt like he was. This time, he was definitely affected by Lilith's words, despite the smile that rose back on his face. The young girl was taken aback. She had not meant to hurt her father, but her frustrations with him lashed out in destructive ways. She almost felt sorry for him, until he mentioned mother. He knew not to mention mother. He had lost all rights to talk about her after he refused to say anything about her after her death. Lilium narrowed her eyes. "How dare you. You want to talk about mom, after all this time? You think you can just take away years of ignoring and dodging the question?" she asked, her nen flaring up with even greater intensity as her anger rose.

4/20 This time, he doesn’t move or flinch from her words. It is hard to feel pressure from Ten alone anyway. His smile doesn’t go away and he instead shrugs his shoulders up and down. His smile does not leave his face as he stares into his daughter eyes. However, his tone of voice reads differently, the pitch is slightly lower. It is something most would not pick up, but there. “This will be your one and only chance to ask. Do you need time to calm down from your tantrum or will this be all for you? Of course, he’s very serious. Alma stands there, waiting for her answer, to finally get some answers or let it slip because of her tantrum. Alma aura is calm and stable, not trying to fight hers or anything. Just calm.

Lilith did not look away as her father's blue eyes gazed into hers. She stared defiantly back up at him, clenching her fists at her sides. She knew he was getting serious, but she was, too. She was angry, furious, even, but she could feel his calmness through his demeanor and... almost through the air. Her once racing heart calmed a little, and her anger subsided.
"How did you and mom meet?" she asked. "If you can't even answer that, then I know you're not serious." she said, crossing her arms over her chest. She wasn't angry anymore, but she was definitely still annoyed. Her father had taught her that her mother was a sensitive subject for him, so in return, it also had become a sensitive topic for her, too.

5/20 Alma scratches his nose and his face turns into an embarrassing red. “Well…” As their aura fills the room, so does the silence as he tries to find words and courage. Once Alma realizes he let the silence go on too long, he looks into his daughter's eyes and sighs. “It was a dark night near the campus at college. The moon was bright but the street lights were shutting off and your mother was walking alone. ”
Alma grows quiet for a moment and then speaks once more, “So, I tried mugging her. In my mind, she was an easy target to attack. A petite looking woman alone at night, I couldn’t pass this up. You see, I grew up dirt poor and homeless. In fact, despite attending college, I was still living in abandon buildings and barely had enough funds to eat.” Alma takes a nearby chair and sits down, getting comfortable. “So anyway, I go to attack her thinking it be an easy target but your mother was the opposite. She kicked my ass, realizes how dirty I was, and took pity on me. She bought me new clothes and even let me take a bath at her apartment. She also attended the same college and we realize we even had the same classes but never notice each other. Since I was struggling, she began tutoring me. And that Lily, is how I met your mother.”

Lilium waited intently for her father to begin to speak. Even though her expression was her normal, neutral resting bitch face, internally she was actually very excited. Now, with her father's explanation, she would not have to wonder anymore about not knowing her mother's heritage and past. She would not have to stay up at night, wanting, no, yearning to know more about her, thinking of ways to broach the testy subject with her father. Now, all she had to do was listen. She hoped her hopes were not going to get let down.
Once Alma was done telling his story, he would observe that Lil still had the same blank, expressionless look on her face. She let silence fill the air for a long time, longer than appropriate for a conversation. She only stared at him, as if she was not permitting him to move or speak under her gaze.
Suddenly, she rose from her seat and stood her ground.
"So, you're unexpectedly a really bad guy." She said plainly, though it was really half in jest. She knew that her father, at least under normal circumstances, would overreact and make a joke out of it. He was being oddly serious at the moment, and it unsettled her more than she would have liked to admit.
"Alright, I believe you. Teach me something. I'll hold up my end of the deal."

6/20 He sighs out a bit, his eyes close as he goes into deep thought for a moment. “I guess so.” He gives himself a moment to relax and slowly build himself back to his normal self. He self-slap himself in the face until his cheeks are red for a moment. His happy go lucky smile returns as he gazes over Lilium. “Oh my, I wasn’t sure if the day would ever come where I could teach you to control your aura, ohohoho.”
His laugh is light and his presence shows nothing of his serious gloom previously shown. “Well, what you’re doing with your aura is called Ten and it is very important for protection against everything, including aging.” He grabs a hand mirror nearby and looks at himself for a moment. “Father time has nothing on me.”
He puts his mirror down and softly sighs as heads to the kitchen. After a few minutes, he comes back with two buckets of water. “Hold onto both buckets in the air while focusing your aura.” Additionally, he turns on the radio with the worse music you can possibly find for Lilium to listen too. “Once your aura is strong enough, you can even take a bullet and it won’t pierce you. You can fall from heights and be fine. Once you get so good at using it, you can even use it in your sleep!”
