Difference. She's the First. She's the Founder. She's his predecessor. He's differing to her as a sign of respect. She's not actually calling any shots or making any decisions; but he does act to seek her approval.
Exactly. My point being HE SHOULDN"T. He should tell her something like:"Times have changed and I know my family and this world better than you". According to that, it strikes to me as annoying that the one who came up with a strategy (without Makarov knowing a single thing) was Mavis. You wanna know what role I think both of them should have in this arc, the ones they had during Laxus' match against "alexei". In other words Makarov taking the initiative while Mavis compliments him on his skills as a Master. Not the other way arround.
Way to go ignoring that she complimented him LAST CHAPTER. You're sounding more and more like you have tunnel vision on this matter
