As he sat up Marcus rubbed his head with a wince. "Geezumcrow man! Way to scare a guy. I was comein' to spend time you you too!" Standing, Marcus brushed himself off then shook a finger at Zeph. But after a moment of the stern face he just laughed, smiling as he reached out a hand to help up the young mayor.
Poor Zephy thought Marcus was mad, and felt fear slowly rise in his throat only to blink in confusion when Marcus laughed and held down a hand to help him up. It took him a bit to understand, but finally Zeph gave a faint smile of his own and took the hand to stand up, then brushed himself off.
"I'm sorry, I was just in such a hurry. Want to come with me to deliver my card to Aya?" He questioned. At the nod from Mark the two continued on their way. "Did you get hr something?"
"Yep!" Marcus said, grinning as he produced a small bottle of grape wine from his pocket. "It's not much, but I think she'll like it at least a tad." He laughed. As they walked, the two held random conversations and would laugh together. When he first arrived in Mineral Town Marcus immediately took a liking to it's timid mayor, and would often visit him on his time off.
Finally Pippin just sighed, yawning. He stood and stretched, then simply grinned at Aya. "It's just fine, you know I've never been a morning person. And of course it's a special day!" When he finished speaking Pip hugged Aya shortly. "It is your birthday, after all." Releasing her, Pippin glanced down to himself before laughing nervously and scratching the back of his head while a sweat drop formed over his head.
"Sorry to be rude, but can you wait outside for a second while I get dressed?"
