When his mother told him that Evie would be coming to their house for their testing it made Marcus relax far more than he expected it to. The idea of going to the Academy with the prospect other students looking on to his examination made him extremely nervous—so much so that he had lost sleep from the time his father told him about the testing up until his mother gave him confirmation of the date, time, and location.
So when Evie came, there were still nerves, but at least Marcus had the ability to stomach a breakfast and had slept most of the night before. Cordelia opened the door and greeted the warden and head mistress warmly, though Marcus was aware that it was not with the same greeting she brought Sah, Soleil, or any of their other friends in with. Tucking that away for later and shaking the auburn bangs out of his eyes, the young mage stood and held out his hand for the warden, eyes moving between hers and her belly and back. "Good morning, Evie." He smiled.

Marcus
Can you hear my heartbeat?
