Sarah turned back to check on Marcus, feeling less overwhelmed. Seeing Marcus and the young man, she smiled. At lease someone wasn't hostile for once. She looked a that guy and smiled more at him. She noticed that he was looking at her. She quickly looked back at the cat and smiled softly to herself. She petted Pepper, wondering what he was thinking, and why Marcus was so easily distracted with the young man.

Marcus watched Sarah turn away. He took another puff and slowly let it out. "I swear I thought I would never taste one of these again." He took another and listened to Micah's reply. "Pretty nice weapons. Do you know how to get there by chance?" Marcus was interested in his plan. Maybe, he could work something out to get the three of them there together and get some nice stuff to stay a bit more protected.
