Mark smiled softly as the words of the newcomer. He didn't notice it at first but could definitely sense a sweet after-taste through his mouth once Jessica had said something. The girl was blushing while trying to proclaim she was a bad guy? He quickly used his Stride to get behind Erin.

"I suggest you turn your epithet off, Erin. It doesn't seem fit for combat. We can get you back to the beach if you stick with us."

He didn't truly know if Erin was using an epithet or not but the clues were there. With that, he began motioning the girls towards the beach, watching Jessica and Erin closely. He thought he could trust Penny, at least for now, and wasn't worried about her since he understood at least the basics of her epithet.
