Marcus' eyes widened as Sun used the term 'girlfriend' to describe Shay when speaking to the mechanical man. If he had been drinking something he surely would have spit it out at that word. He never had a word or term to describe what relationship he and Shay had. He was curious to know it any of the others saw him and Shay like that. It seemed that Sun didn't think before he spoke, as he covered his mouth soon afterwards. Perhaps it was a musing that just happened to have been spoken aloud instead of safely contained in the confines of ones head. 

Once Sun finished speaking, Marcus nodded to the young man. He glanced at Shay a few times before returning his full attention to Sun, who currently seemed to be summoning or creating or doing something to make the sprites appear. Marcus didn't really care how it was done, and he didn't want to know. He knew of a saying [i]"Magic is just science we don't understand yet,"[/i] but it was thrown out the window when certain blessed powers came to mind, Sun's and his own for examples. All of the other powers could be explained by science, but sprites and fortune telling were magic.

The feeling of flying was quite an odd one. It was odd because there was no feeling at all, other than the absence of his arm. With the numbing feeling cloaking him, he could really feel like there was nothing where his arm should be. He had used the metals so many times that it had almost become a part of him. He couldn't explain it, but he could feel the arm to some level more than just moving it around.

Despite most to all of the feeling in his body being numbed he could feel Shay's hand tightening around his own, but it was only the pressure of the hold that he felt. As he floated into the air with Shay, a few words floated through his mind. [i]"Fucking magic."[/i] He said to himself, throwing his stubbornness out the window along with his beliefs of science and technology.
