Castitas caught up to him, taking his hand lightly in an attempt to comfort him. "Thank you for protecting me..." She whispered to him. She followed behind closely, now afraid of the shadows of the forest. She cared for Markus... deeply, She just didn't like the sight of him when he was enraged. She swore she saw his eyes flash red, like a demons, but she trusted him with her life. Even if he had killed the bandit, she would be thankful for his protection, otherwise she would be raped, treated like a slab of meat to be thrown to a pack of dogs.
