Relieved that the man apparently wasn't just a brute but someone with kindness and manners, Marcus bowed back. "I can quite understand your behavior... with everything that's been happening today." Obediently he followed the man to the boat where the man's companion was waiting. [i]"I am known as the 'Starry Vagabond', and me and this relic scholar are leaving the city by boat. We will likely be unnoticed when the main invaders are inside the city or near the main gates. If you wish to come, hop on board."[/i] Marcus could see where the man had gotten -at least part- of his nickname from. His eyes were fierce and seemed to shine like stars in the only part of his face that wasn't covered in cloth. Curiously he looked at the other man. His posture and glasses confirmed that he was indeed a scholar. "Relic scholar". Would he have somehow noticed that Marcus was a relic user? He quickly abandoned that thought, it was impossible. If that sort of power really existed, there would be no living evokers left. 

Marcus quickly descended into the small boat. He dropped his bag and bow in as well and shoved the arrow back into its quiver, all in utter silence. After he had finished, he took down the cloth covering his mouth with one finger and extended his other hand, figuring that'd be the polite thing to do. "Pleasant to meet you. My name is Marcus and I can row, cook, hunt and make shelters once we're off the lake and in the wilds, so yeah I hope I'll be allowed your company." His accent was barely noticeable and a small smile crossed his face. Marcus quickly pulled the cloth back up, rather not being told that that smile looked oddly feminine.
