Marshall liked the fact this guy was co-operating - but he didn't lower the Revolver. This man seemed intellectual. Someone that knew his boundaries. Marshall laughed when the man said he wanted his head to not-be turned in to a canoe. "Don't worry. I'll give you a chance I just ask for your co-operation - which you're given. Looks like your head won't be shot today friend." Marshall stated, with a tone that was hard to decipher - it was a humorous tone, but he was being as serious as ever. 

Marshall was shocked when the man offered Luke the gun. But quickly noted the fact the man had a Sub Machine gun. The man turned around, showing the gun in plain sight for Luke to take. Marshall's eyes went to Luke - to see if he was going to take it. But Marshall stuck his arm infront of Luke's chest. Luke looked at him. "No. Don't get that close just yet." Marshall stated, preventing Luke from retrieving the Glock. "It could go sideways. I'm not having you get killed by some random dude, I'm just lookin' out for ya."

Marshall looked back at the man. "Okay. Honestly? I don't think you're gonna' shoot or stab him if he came close. But you know what it's like. Not taking any chances. I only ask for one more small bit of co-operation friend. Turn around, and lay all your weapons in front of you. Don't worry, I'm not going to steal your SMG. The way I see it, is that - that gun is precious to you, much like my .44 is to me. I won't take it, or your blade or your Glock. I simply want to see if you're willing to co-operate." Marshall stated. It was not a trick to disarm the man, he was testing him - making sure he won't misplace his trust. If the man puts down the guns, Marshall will instantly let him pick them up again. If he refuses, slim chance the man will be coming with them. Marshall can read people, and the way he sees it - the man isn't an idiot. He understands that people are better together - the best defence against Walkers. 

"I'm a man of my word, friend. You'll have to trust me on that."
