I'm gonna take what comes my way
Marcus seemed to be absolutely delighted as he approached Deimos and Erebos, the brightness of it like sunlight breaking through cloud. He had a boyish ease that survived beneath the layers of training and expectation that showed now in the quickness of his stride and the warmth in his eyes. He dipped his head slightly to the youngling, grin widening when the greeting was returned.
"Good to see you, too," he added to Deimos, tone sincere. The press of noise and color around them didn’t seem to faze him in the slightest. Nina arrived from the opposite direction, and Marcus turned his bright smile towards her. "Hey, you made it." It wasn't that long ago that they were looking for moonshrooms together.
"I wouldn’t mind some food. What about you?" he asked, lifting a tawny brow, already scanning the nearby stalls with open curiosity. Roasting meat, sweet breads, and spice-heavy sauces perfumed the air, and his stomach answered with a quiet, traitorous growl. With an easy gesture forward, he fell into step behind the hellhound and his offspring, trusting their choice.
