Marcus strolled along the third floor corridor with the jar of pickled Murtlap's under his arm. Not exactly the present he wanted to give her but seeing how they only just barely knew each other it would have to do and besides that it was useful.

He stopped in the doorway and was just about to knock when he spotted the old man inside and he just managed to catch the last of his speech. Marcus immediately looked to Caroline and raised an eyebrow, he knew that she could handle herself, he was merely curious as to know what had happened to get such a reaction out of Kazi.

"Hope I'm not interrupting" he said quietly. Well yeah he was hoping that he was interrupting, he didn't like the way the old man looked at her but he didn't want to die...just yet!
