Brian had felt the intense blow from Marcus, and only then did he hang his head there, staring at the floor. He was breathing rather heavily, knowing very well that this wasn't going to end right, somebody was bound to get hurt. He wanted to speak, to say something, but his jaw hurt immensely, and just the sight of him coughing wasn't good either. He had started to cough up blood, and just the pain alone was hurting his insides. He lifted his head slowly to look at Marcus, and then watching Katherine coming out of nowhere. That was the second time he had seen her come from nowhere. But it didn't concern him much. He tried to pull away, struggling but failing in the process. The blood dripping from the side of his mouth. "Leave it be..." he managed to say to Katherine. It wasn't her business to interfere like that. If anything, it was his own fault for entering in like this when he thought the town was abandoned. "...Don't worry so much about me. You'll start to remind me of my mother.. And I don't need the past being brought into the present..." He sounded weak and tired almost, yet he was still standing after a blow from Marcus. He sure was strong at heart, that's for sure. Brian then turned his head to look at Marcus, and was about to speak, till he coughed up more blood.
