"I see..." he said in response to Mea's statement. It wasn't necessarily that he was itching for some violence, okay.... maybe he was. Nearly a year of being inactive had left him a bit restless and he was eager to see if his skills were still just as sharp as they had been before. What was it that Rachel had always said...? Oh yeah, 'Marcus... you're just like a child with a new toy... you can't wait the five minutes it takes to get home before you play with it.' The thought of her brought a small smile to his lips as he stared out the window of the plane, watching as the landscape began to roll by rapidly as their started their ascent.<br/><br/>Marcus reached to the side of his seat, pulling the little lever that allowed him to lower his seat back, giving him a more comfortable seat. He then reached into his right pocket and withdrew a single worn out photograph, one of the small wallet-sized ones, and unfolded it, a picture of Rachel only a few days before their last mission together stared back at him. A look of deep sorrow could be seen crossing over his features for a brief moment as he folded the paper up again once more and placed it within his pocket, unable to keep his icy blue eyes from looking at Mea immediately afterwards. He wondered if this was some cruel joke being played on him by whatever deity happened to be in charge.... if so there was definately going to be a rumble the moment he stepped into the pearly gates.<br/><br/>As he pulled his hand out of his pocket he withdrew one of his many small throwing knives and began to spin it idly across the fingers of his right hand, the small silver blade issuing a soft whirring sound as it sliced through the air in small arcs around his knuckles. A sly looked crossed over his features, "Will they be showing a movie on this flight...?" He said with a smile, obviously trying to relax the mood a bit. He could feel a slight tension coming from Yousef as the mammoth of a man pondered over some type of issue, though he imagined it had to do something with Mea.
