Marcus
Marcus had never been to this part of Caido. Still too young to go to far from the safety of the Citadel without his parents, the youngling was wide-eyed and full of wonder as he traveled with his dad and his twin sister. He heeded his father’s warning to stick close to him, but he still took every opportunity to take in the sights and sounds around him.
He was holding one of the lanterns Noah had brought, Margot the other. The twins had not made their own lanterns this year. Both Noah and Cordelia explained that they would have their own respects and honor to give, but right now it was acceptable for them to share in their parents’ grief. Cordelia went on to explain that it was a blessing to be able to share in someone else’s grief, especially when you didn’t have your own to carry as well.
Marcus still didn’t understand that, truly. That was probably because he hadn’t experienced true loss at his age.
Coming in close he waved happily to Evie and Deimos when they approached, before helping his father place the lanterns, and listening well to his instructions on respect.
Marcus helps Noah place lanterns for his grandparents, and Noah’s friends the Hales.

I want you by my side
So that I never feel alone again
So that I never feel alone again
