Alister sighed as well and began to move towards the door. "Perhaps..." He knew that it was a mistake to try and say anything to Jess, she had proven multiple times in the past that she tried all too hard at settling every problem she came across, and as a result, imposed her will on just about everybody else in the process. Perhaps it was just Alister's mind seeing things differently, but Jess was a very difficult person to talk to from time to time, despite all the good qualities about her that Alister knew full well were the source of her few faults. She was kind hearted, spirited about her work, and very determined in her actions, which was something that was hard to find in women these days... well... in Alister's social life it was, anyway.<br/><br/>He wanted to tell her that he wasn't the kind of person that she should look up to for guidance as well. Alister didn't want the burden of being a role model, nor did he want Mira to try and draw any inspiration from him. He just wanted to see to his own business, and do his own thing at the end of the day. Of course, at the root of all that were the daddy issues that he still held to this day. He didn't want to be a Malrain at all, he wanted to be Alister.
