Round and round and round they go. Markus could see that this was going to be something that they would be doing a lot. Making some progress, and then back tracking, and then making some more progress, and then more back tracking. Two steps forward, one step back.
Luckily, they seemed to have a lot of time to be able to do this little dance. Markus could be patient. And there was a lot of things to do in this place, from what he was seeing. He wouldn't be getting bored any time soon.
"Then I'll stay." Markus said, though he had to admit to himself (not to Connor, definitely not to him) that he was a little hurt. A stupid hurt; did he really think that he was putting on a facade? Lying he could understand being wary of, but Markus wasn't pretending to be anyone other then who he was.
"I was thinking more along being thrown into a river kind of stress." Not that his slight guilt over that happening would stop him from doing things that might have that outcome for Connor. The pushing part, he just wouldn't stop it.
They could, and then there'd really be a problem.
