When shay moved away from him to get to her shower, Marcus looked at the woman and nodded at her. He wasn't actually going to lay down on her bed, just sit down on it, and that was what the mechanical man did for the next twenty minutes. He rested his head on his hands, his elbows sitting on his knees as he thought about the day. He couldn't stop thinking about how he abandoned his post to go and see Shay. He was sure that Mother and everyone else made it back into the gates. She was the Mother after all, and she wasn't like those brainless beings that they were protecting the city from. She could easily find a way over a wall.

Marcus was pulled back into the physical world by Shay, who had spoken to him about taking a shower. His eyes flicked over to her just as she finished speaking, and the man slowly nodded his head. It would have been rude of him to decline, and he needed a shower anyway. He slowly stood up and began to take off the vest that the wore over his shirt. He needed to keep his mechanical arm away from water, as it was a real pain to clean and he was sure that he wouldn't have the time to properly clean it now with all of the current events. He glanced at shay once more and looked back at his arm. He said nothing as he loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt only part way, allowing him to be able to remove his arm without having to really undress. 

Marcus closes his eyes as he bent the metal connecting his robotic arm to his body. It had taken quite a while for him to properly make it so that he could take it on and off without having to tamper with it each time he did so, but the process still caused him a bit of pain. He let out a small grunt as the arm disconnected, and once it was done, the man grabbed the arm with his other hand and pulled it out through the sleeve of his shirt. He removed only the mechanical arm itself, and not all of the connecting pieces that covered a fair portion of the left side of his body. He could like with those getting a little wet, but the arm was a different case entirely to him. "Thank you." He said simply as he laid the arm down on the bed and went to go take a shower. He assumed that she would want to see just the arm, and left it there for her to look at.

He began to undress fully now and took a brief shower. He had not actually taken a shower in a small while, but he was working on something that he had recently completed. He told himself that he didn't have the time to clean up, and put all of his time into his work. He was glad that he was not able to take a shower, and he relaxed for a minute before washing himself. He didn't bother trying to avoid the mechanical bits that were exposed to the world, and simply cleaned the pieces of metal as well as the rest of him. Despite not truly having an arm for quite some time, it felt odd to Marcus to only have and use one arm. Even with the mechanical one, he could feel nothing from it, as it didn't have anything resembling or acting like nerves or receptors.

His shower was finished rather quickly and the man dried off with a little difficulty. He had not taken his arm off in a few days, and he had begun losing the familiar feeling of using only one arm. Nonetheless, he dried off and kept quiet, making sure he was most dry before beginning to put his clothes back on. Even for him, Marcus was being more quiet than usual, and the man couldn't say that he didn't know why he was acting like that. He knew exactly why, and he was curious to know what Shay was thinking at the moment.
