She blinks hearing his words but Katherine didn't know how to respond to this. How can she put this? How can she even ask? Marcus might have someone waiting for him in this nightmare in a safe place. However, she only feels more worried if that's true. Her feelings her growing more and more that she just looks down at her lap. Marcus, on the other hand, was waiting for her answer or at least her telling him what is going on.
"Ummmmm....Miss Kat? Are you alright?"
"Oh right sorry. Well, Marcus this might sound stupid to ask you but......*Looks away but still working on the bomb* Do you..have anyone you care for or like? I mean, i know many all over don't really have relationships because of the dragons but others do. So...do you have anyone you miss right now from where you come from?" she asked with her hands still holding the bomb.
"Having someone? You mean like a girlfriend or wife?"
"Well, yes. I know you travel from time to time but don't you have someone you care for back home? Do you ever think of them or are you worried about them?"
"..........................."
"What? Too personal? I'm sorry if I stepped a line or anything, Marcus. It's just...."
"No, it's fine Miss Kat. It's alright. I just never expected such a question from you." he mutters under his breath thinking of his answer but Marcus takes a breath and looks to her. "...to be honest, I...do. I mean, I have someone but I just hope she is alright back home. Knowing how she is....hehe.."
So he did have someone huh? Too bad but Katherine was happy for him and her, whoever she was. She only relaxed her body and looks back at the bomb to hide a smile. She was happy for him and her. Really happy. Even if it was sad she didn't have that chance, at least he did.
"I see. Well, she is very lucky to have someone like you Marcus. You really know how to make someone feel happy from what is going on. I just hope you and her are alright or keeping in touch."
"Oh yeah..yeah we are." he laughed working on the bomb but what she didn't know is one thing. He was lying. Marcus didn't have anyone but he didn't want to risk Katherine's life or not knowing if she was with someone either. Maybe this would be safer for both of them?
He was lying to keep her safe and she didn't know it but maybe it was best she remains single to keep her safe? He did care for her and loved her after the short weeks. He got to know her a little better. But during this time, he didn't want to risk the fall of other people that went rouge and could threaten to harm or kill her. He can't risk that.
"......Well, I'm sure hope she's alright Marcus. Where ever she is."
"No worries; she's fine and safe where she is. You don't have to worry about her Miss Kat. I do keep up with her from time to time and she always speaks back to me." he said to himself working on a bomb but Katherine nods when hearing that.
"Curious. But still pretty cute." she said looking at the bomb while filling it up correctly and carefully. She's gotten so much better with the bomb making and Marcus was so proud of her. Very proud. That leaves him wondering about something.
"Well, what about you? Do you have someone in your life? I'm sure he's lucky to have you.."
"Me? Oh, no..I don't have anyone."
"Oh? So you're single?" he asked silent but grips the bomb in his hand. She was single and no guy tried to hit on her? That was shocking.
"Yep but it's fine. I don't find many guys attractive in the village. I am sure I'll find someone.....one day. Besides, I know your girlfriend is lucky to have someone as sweet as you though Marcus."
"Y-yeah..thanks..." Marcus didn't say anything but was silent himself after some time. He didn't even know about her feelings or didn't say anything about it. He lied to her to keep her safe but now he knows she is not with anyone so a guy had a chance. He did too but he went up and lied to her to keep her safe. After working on the bombs, neither him or her said anything and it was already getting late. Marcus figures Lewis went off with some girls again before Katherine sets the finished bomb down and stood up.
"Something wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing wrong. I just saw it's getting late so I don't want to hold you for too long. I better head on home and check on my father first." she asked but Marcus didn't say anything. Katherine was tired from the working of a couple bombs and she didn't mind it one bit.
"Hey Kat?"
"Hmmm?"
