Castitas ran towards him, too scared to touch Markus but had to do something. "Wait! Markus, if you take this man's life, you will be no better than him. Please, Markus!" She held her tears back, being so frightened. Her voice cracked as she pleaded him. "Yes, the man is scum, but he has learnt his lesson!" She brought her hands together, praying as she looked on, horrified. What if she angered Markus and he turned on her like this? She didn't know what to do, some of the bandit's blood splattered onto her robes and bare legs.
