And you can tell there's a little bit of change in Sage when he's face-to-face with Mako.
Chapter 23: Little Difference
Sage walked downstairs for a while and he sat down on the couch for a while to think about what Samurai said and it's a lot to take in for him after spending a little time with Luna and each time he's around her, it's like he switched from the bad boy to a true friend. And he doesn't know what the reason is because he's always been good at being the bad boy all the time until Luna comes in and sees him in a different light that he's hiding.
He laid down on the couch, looking at the ceiling for a while and starts wondering about even thinking about how he treats everyone better, but he's struggling to even think about it and it's like he's torn between staying true to being streetfighter mode or try to give it a chance. Soon enough, he hears Mako coming in the house and he said, "Hey, dad."
Suddenly, Mako was a little surprised when he sees a little shift in Sage and he said, "Hey, son. HOw are you?"
"Fine." Sage replied.
Mako couldn't believe that there was no smart aleck attitude in him yet and he walked over to his wolf son and asked, "How's Luna?"
"She's fine. She's...pretty good." Sage replied.
Mako nodded his head at this and he said, "That's good to hear."
Yet, Sage still has this wall that keeps putting up, not specifically due to his streetfighter ways, but because he wasn't sure if he was gonna let them come down and he lets out a big sigh and got up and headed to his room for a while and Mako could tell that there's still gonna be work done, but at least Sage is making progress.
He's still a work-in-progress, but so far...he's OK. Stay tuned for more!
