Marcus smiles slightly before licking her cheeks clean "just remember I'm not leaving you on your own." He whispers. "I'm not leaving even if you ask me to." He adds in an even quieter whisper.
"You usually complain for me to stop." Marcus chuckles lowly as he shifts human again, leaning his forehead on hers.
Marcus nods as he brings his arm round slightly, he glances down at Arija "well at least your boobs are momentarily bigger." He teases quietly in her ear, making sure no one else can hear.
"I was expecting a slap but never mind." Marcus says quietly before cupping her cheek. Serenity glances to the side to look at Zhar quickly.
The pink flame grows. "Get out of the way, Marcus. This flame won't hurt Arija, but it WILL hurt you." (Btw, yes, lithium is red, but when chlorine is added it becomes pink lol)
