Makarov listened silently before a single eye popped open. He stared at her for a moment before his other eye opened and his head tilted back. "There is certainly a difference between proving ones self worthy of being family, and proving that one truly wants it." She nodded to Alaric as he went to leave. "That man. Do you believe he wishes to be part of the family? Or do you think he came here to make money?"

Maria gave her own opinion, as she was sitting at the same table though she gave it in a different way, speaking to Alaric as he left instead. "I wasn't aware people saw fliers and ignored what they said. This is a guild not a job office kid."

Makarov looked to Maria before looking back at Heloise, standing and crossing his arms behind his back. "If somebody truly wished to be a part of the guild, truly wanting it in their heart, not just for coin or glory, then they would find a place in the guild. It's easy for one to say they wish to join the guild, but it's not so easy to tell if that person really wishes it with the most honorable of intentions. Proving ones self worthy of joining the guild is not a test of skill. It is simply a test of whether or not they have what it takes to BE a part of the family." He leaned forward and nodded to Maria. "If she has your approval then I see no reason to keep you out."
