Had it been anyone else, Marcus would not have left the wall to go with them. However, it was a direct order by The Mother herself, and he was not going to tell her no. Reluctantly, he looked back at his wall with a look of longing. As long as he was gone, there wouldn't be anyone to open the gates, but he supposed that it didn't matter since they were on lock down anyway. However, that also meant that a large number of traps that he had set outside of the gates would also be unusable. Still, he followed, Ravenia, walking through the door that was left over for him and Tobias, and ensured that it was still open for Tobias to walk through as well. 

There had been one or two times that Marcus had been inside the house that was occupied by Ravenia, and at one point Tobias as well, but he had never felt more stilled tension inside one area as much as he had here and now. It seemed almost untouched, despite the fact that Ravenia did live there. He supposed that it was just a testament to how busy she kept herself since then. 

He settled into the house. Of course, by settling, he simply stood near Ravenia and looked down at her as she curled herself up. He said little to her until she had finished speaking, and nodded silently as she explained her problems. He knew the feeling well, though most likely not to the extent that she felt it. He lived in fear, fear that he would be unable to do his job correctly once again, and lose what people that were close to him that remained. He didn't have anyone that close, anymore, though. After Shay, and then Sun, there hadn't be anyone that had a closeness with Marcus that those two had. Of course, he cared for Ravenia and was a close friend of his, but he had still lost too many people because of things that were out of his control. 

[color=9e0b0f]"How can we reassure you?"[/color] He asked her simply, glancing over at Tobias as well, if he were in the room at that point. Tobias would have to do most of speaking, and Marcus was sorry about that, but there were heavy limitations for not using his voice for so long. He had already used it so much within the past few hours, and he wasn't sure how long it would going to hold up. [color=9e0b0f]"Symbiosis. You lead, protect. what do we do for you?"[/color]

[color=8dc73f]"But she didn't."[/color] Cynthia was quick to respond to Tank, her smile ever prevalent as she walked alongside him. [color=8dc73f]"She could've this, she could have that, she did this, so on and so forth. That's not right now. Right now, she's talking with the gate guard and the other guy, and right now, you're taking me to the hospital because she told you to. Right now, I am alive, and it's going to be that way until it isn't."[/color] She knew the importance of situation awareness, she really did. Sometimes she would talk a little less than normal, but the never ending monologues would always continue within the confines of her mind.
