Marina resisted the urge to sigh. She was willing to let him tag along and do whatever he wanted, that should be good enough for him, whether or not she believed he actually was a space protector. Why was he so insistent that she believe? "Religion is a bit complicated. Most people get told by their parents when they're little what to believe, and small children believe everything. Religion just doesn't fall away when they grow up like fairy tales and fantasy do. Most of the time."<br/><br/>She smiled a bit as he agreed to give her time. She didn't want anymore tricks to try and prove it, she would just observe and make up her own mind on what he was and where he came from. She still wasn't completely sure she wasn't hallucinating, so time would give answers. When he started mumbling, Marina looked at him, worried that she had pushed the poor man over the edge by not taking his words at face value. When he mentioned the mental breakdown, she almost started laughing, but stopped herself in time. As if crashing down in front of her, invading her personal space, and lifting her and her car into the air wasn't enough to give her a mental breakdown by itself.<br/><br/>Marina watched as he took her teasing comment as a command, and started to change. She started to protest, but decided to wait. She hadn't got a good look at him last time, as she hadn't known the falling ball of light was a sentient being. Once he'd changed into a very non-human form, she studied him. He certainly wasn't human, whatever he was.<br/><br/>While some people may have leapt at the chance to have such complete control over another living thing, Marina was a bit unnerved by it. "I didn't mean for you to change back, I was joking. Trying to lighten the mood." She knew that explanation was probably useless, but she gave it anyway. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to. Just do whatever makes you comfortable, okay?"
