Not that Markus always expects kind faces and minds without a mote of suspicion — he remembers what his arrival was like, the experience ingrained in memory. Unpleasant, to say the least, wracked with disorientation and very human sensations that ran too deep against nerve endings. A mind abuzz with more questions than he could queue up in any proper kind of order.
Still. He had a bit more patience than to go waving scissors at anyone drawing near.]
My name’s Markus. [Hands raising up in the universally placating gesture of “hey please don’t stab me”.] And I’m just here to see if you needed anything.
[A new face, one that he doesn’t recognize, having just jolted awake. He must have missed her arrival to the safehouse.]
