Aaron turned and folded his arms at Austins questions. The first part told him what he needed- that Austin expected bad things to come between gangs at 552. He saw the same things Aaron did. He would look off toward the sky, trying to get a good answer for Austin.
"Phoebe has asked me that before. I think that too many people act tough, or try to because the number one badass so that they can hide from fear. Yeah, I'm afraid. For myself and my family and the few students like yourself whose presence I can stand." He grinned. "But, Y'know, if you hold true to yourself and to the people you care about, who cares? We're all gonna die someday anyway, might as well make it matter. Just keep doing what you're doing, get stronger....and steer clear of my family when the shit hits the fan and you'll make it through just fine."
An overt threat? Maybe. To Aaron, he was just speaking facts. He'd snap Austins neck and head home for a bowl of ice cream after if he tried to hurt Allen or Phoebe. But, from what he can tell, Austin didn't want that either. He would grin and walk over, giving Austin a pat on the shoulder.
"C'mon. Let's get you back, and thanks for humoring me."
He would head back with Austin, but would stop outside the bar.
"And one other thing...I fought the leader of Riot, and he told me shit. Just don't trust Riot, Austin. Macht and his brother....they have plans for 552 that they are keeping you in the dark about, and in the end they will turn on you, especially if you refuse to do what they believe needs to be done....like starting a war. Keep your wits about you there, ok?"
He would offer his arm for a shake, not waiting for a response because he didn't need one. Just something for him to think about.
