Violence made him uneasy. Carl had instilled in him that it was wrong, but when it came time to being attacked... what led to his particular deviancy... violence wasn't the answer. It wasn't his answer, would hopefully never be his answer, but going to do it would be just so easy, sometimes.
He has no regrets about not doing it, though. If he went back now, he would still spare the police officer's lives, no matter what.
"Sounds like a deal." Markus went to move forward again, to shake his hand, but then stopped himself. That was one of the ways he could switch someone, and now... he didn't want to do that to Connor. So, instead, he retracts his hand, giving Connor a small, content smile.
"For as long as we're here, we'll talk and observe." Pulling out the smartphone, he looked down at it briefly, then back at Connor. There were questions he wanted to ask, but none that seemed right for right now.
"So what do we do, set up a daily coffee date?" That's a tease, since neither of them eat or drink, of course. "Meet up to take a walk once a day in a park somewhere?" There was a part of him that was wondering where the hell he was supposed to go after here, and where Connor was staying.
There had only been a brief period of his entire life where he felt like he didn't belong in a place, and he hated the feeling of it again. He missed people. Things. Home.
Markus just wants to be like... bro... buddy... my fair dude. You are not doing well.
