TW!! Argument, malicious name calling.

"And?" Phil snaps, "I'm back now, I'm in one piece, is that not enough?"
"Do not think I am not aware of what you've done, you meddlesome rake." She spits, wings flaring.
Phil does not flinch and pretends the insult doesn't sting. "I don't need to explain myself to you."
"Like Prime you don't!" She shouts, aghast. "You are my son and the only family I have left, I am allowed to care about you!"
Phil scoffs, "so caring for me is criticizing my every move since I became a teenager?"
"Caring for you is keeping your sorry ass off the streets and out of jail," she says sternly, "and yet you seem so keen to keep stealing and going behind my back to secure yourself a jobless and dishonorable place in society."
"And would that be so bad?" He asks, throwing his hands up in a frustrated gesture. "I am the bastard son of a woman who's never known grandeur, I don't want anything more than what I have and it means nothing to me if I stoop lower than where we're already placed in the world."
His chest rises and falls rapidly as he finally meets his mother's eye, finding nothing but confusion and hurt in her gaze.
"It is not something you would understand," he mutters.

Phil and his mom having an argument during chapter two. I've hated writing it but it's nessicary and I only gotta do it once! Phil's about nineteen here, he hasn't gained immortality yet.
