Nova
It's just a precautionary measure that doesn't have her immediately releasing his hand. After all, Marcus seems like the kind to wander off in a daze, and that can be dangerous, especially for someone with such soft magics like him. If he gets lost in the Greatwood by himself, she's not sure he'd have the strength to defend himself without her, although she'd probably be able to find him pretty quick with her jaguar shift.
Living in her delusional preconceptions about Marcus, Nova spins her head to look at him, a glittering smile on her star freckled face. "Maybe! Let's find out!" Teetering on her tip toes atop the root, Nova lifts her free hand to cup her mouth and yell up into the massive tree's canopy. "MATHAIR!!! CAN YOU HEAR US?!" Her voice cuts through the forest, bright and crystal clear as a chime that causes the nearby creatures to stir. She doesn't pay them any mind, stretching her gaze up towards where a 'head' might be among the bark of the tree, waiting with bated breath to see if they might answer.
