( he's a bad liar. he does, a little. mako... he's always attracted to the goodness in people, like an errant moth to fire. he appreciates decency, and that more than anything is something he's always felt drawn to protect, even when he can't espouse the virtue himself. maybe especially then.
the world isn't as black and white as the law. even beifong has gone outside of it when necessary. mako knows he should still arrest this guy, if for nothing else then obstruction of justice, but. he just... doesn't want to anymore. not after talking to him, getting to know him a little better. but he also can't have him crawling all over the city making trouble for the police department, either. )
Well, think about it. I'm not going to out you to Beifong, but we're going to have to have a long talk about what you can and can't do in the city if you keep on like you have been.
( mako likes him. he'll protect him, but he's not... going to do it indefinitely, or risk his career for it. and he doesn't think that dick would ask it of him, either. )
