Do I even want to know Al's thoughts on him.......

[flametheif40]

Oh gosh...this is pre...Al trying to reconcile with him...I can't comment on after since we still have that thread to play out.

"He is more of a danger to himself and Sakura then that moron realizes. If I were an actual monster like he thinks, one, if not both of them would be dead and it would be his fault.

That screaming child annoys the hell out of me but I understand where he is coming from now. Doesn't excuse him, but I understand."

Okay tl;dr at least I will try...

Al knows he screwed up and holds himself responsible for starting it all and he knew he had to explain things to "Sakura" eventually because, yeah, it was wrong. He was in a dark place when that all happened and even in the moment, he regretted it.

Had Xioalang asked him nicely in private, Al would have been far more likely to at least give a little something for his worries. But to demand it out of him after throwing goodwill in his face in public? No. So Al is having a hard time taking Xioalang seriously, especially since he refused his help and was willing to die with hate rather than live for love. Plus Xioalang has everything that a heart could want, yet he would throw it all out just to spite someone?

Added to the fact that Sakura was completely clueless and even when Al practically gave most of the details about what happened to Sakura, she didn't seem to connect the dots. Which to Al seems like Xioalang lied to her, which, if he was willing to lie to her, someone he loved, what would he do to someone he hated? Xioalang already tried to publicly shame him, under the pretext finding out each other's strength to work together, could he have done that to try to plot a way to kill him? What else would he do behind Al's back, if he was willing to try to create a scandal in front of his face?

So it is a big deal that Al saved his life because there is this uncertainty Al has with him. How far will Xioalang go? How many people will get dragged into this and potentially get hurt in the process?

What makes this particularly stressful for Al, is that it's not JUST them, but the world is involved since Sakura has her judgement, and Al also has to worry about end-of-the-world doomsday magic from his world. So avoiding them isn't an option, which Al would have gladly done.
