Just for a moment, ...as Marcus felt the others presence close in behind him his entire demeanor changed, His breathing slows to a degree that would make another person pass out from suffocation and his heartbeat also slows as he simply reacts to a possible threat.<br/><br/>Outwardly nothing seems to change but under his skins his muscles tense and relax over and over to make them more supple as he prepares to defend himself,The fingers of his right hand straiten as he prepares to attack but as he was about to deliver a dangerous crushing impact to Arkains windpipe he stops as the the pressure on his shoulder begins to abate before he is released altogether.<br/><br/>The young man simply stood in place after Arkain had released him, in truth he could have easily avoided the hand that had clasped about his shoulder but he had allowed the lizard to close the distance with him, so that he could measure his strength.<br/><br/>Every tensed muscle and the feel of his body gives of a confident efficiency.<br/><br/>Taking a steady breath as his body takes a more relaxed state he turns his head to look over his shoulder at the looming form of the lizard behind him  before speaking again.<br/><br/>"you dont need to worry about me, i can take care of myself, but i don't appreciate being held in such a manner, please could you refrain from such sudden outbursts"<br/><br/>everything about how he spoke now was just as polite as it had been before but for just a second something cold in his eyes made it clear that it would be unwise to underestimate him.<br/><br/>"in regards to my leaving i really have no choice in the matter, ive spent quite enough time here as it is and i have another matter that should be taken care of.
