Marcus was not prepared to face the force of gravity again, and when the sprites left him he had a small moment where he had little to no balance. The mechanical man quickly took a wide stance and waited to regain his balance. It was a bit more difficult with Shay hanging on him to get her own balance, but he was able to manage. His mind was being attacked by all of the senses that failed to register when the sprites gave the the ability to fly. With a grunt, he held his head with his right hand and endured the rush of senses going to his head. The headache lasted for only a brief time as he lowered his hands and stood up right.

Hearing his name, Marcus looked at Shay and nodded at her. She was probably tired and still in pain. He believed that she deserved some rest for what she had did today. She fought, was infected, and cured. She had been through a lot today, and if anyone needed rest, he thought that it was her. The mechanical man helped Shay into her house and into her room. He was more than happy to help his friend in her time of need, but he just hoped that Mother would be understanding enough to allow this to go unpunished.
