Markus turned towards her, eyeing Snowdrift. "You think I don't know that?" He spat. Turning away, he reaching down to pick up his bag. Slinging it up his shoulder, he shot a swift, cold glance at Maya. "Are you ready to go?" he repeated.

[Cloudsong]

"Oh, I'm ready," Maya replied, her tone light. "To go get killed," she muttered under her breath, so that only she could hear. "But let's go." She took a step forward, Snowdrift sticking to her.

[FoldєdPapєrHєarts]

Markus rolled his eyes once more before starting to walk in the direction he had indicated before.
Keeping his eyes on the ground, he shoved his hands into his jacket pockets. He really did hope his guess was right; if not...he didn't even want to think about the results of this kind of mistake.

[Cloudsong]

Maya made a large effort to stay next to him, then finally gave up on her efforts. She silently stood there, her arms crossed. "Why is it that you always feel the need to walk before me?" she hissed, her temper rising. Snowdrift padded away from them, sniffing the ground. The place was unfamiliar to him.

[FoldєdPapєrHєarts]

Markus sighed, his patience still thin with Maya. "Why do you have to question everything?" he muttered before walking once more. He could care less whether she came along or not; he'd rather she stayed behind, honestly.

[Cloudsong]

Maya blinked. "If you didn't act like an idiot, I wouldn't," she snapped. "Besides, why do you have to always be so unfriendly? I just saved your life, in case you forgot." Her voice was angry sounding, but far down - barely audible - there was hurt. Maybe it would be best to just let him go on alone.

[FoldєdPapєrHєarts]

Markus turned around to face her. "Maybe if my life didn't suck so much I would be a little more friendlier," he spat, surprised at his own words. He couldn't believe he'd said that; he'd never said out-loud that he thought he had a bad life. But now that he had said it, he couldn't take the words back.

Sighing, he rubbed the back of his neck. He had heard the hurt in her voice. But he wasn't going to apoligize; he never apoligized to anyone.

[Cloudsong]

Maya fell silent. Without another word, she turned away. "Fine," she said, her voice quiet. "I didn't know I was bothering you so much." She twisted snowdrift's leash in her fingers, which were red from the cold. "You can go by yourself; I don't care anymore." Without another word, she started to walk, Snowdrift casting a look back over at Markus before following.

[FoldєdPapєrHєarts]

Markus groaned quietly to himself. Letting his head tilt back so he could stare at the sky, he cursed under his breath. He knew he couldn't just let this girl go off by herself and get killed; it would haunt his concious forever! Sighing, he looked back over towards Maya and Snowdrift as they started to walk away.

Hating what he was about to do, Weslee ran after her. When he reached Maya, he stood in front of her, blocking her path. "Look-I'm...I'm sorry. I suppose I should have been nicer to you, especially after you saved my life. Just...don't go off by yourself. You'll end up getting yourself killed and I can't live with myself, knowing that," he sighed. Had he really just done that? Shaking his head slightly to himself, he looked away. He was losing it.

[Cloudsong]

Maya's eyes widened in surprise, and she stared at him, unable to believe what he had just said. He had apologized? Had he hit his head after he fell into the lake? What possibly could have made him apologize? Staying completely still by shock, she considered it. Snowdrift sniffed at Markus' feet, his tail wagging. He didn't want him to go, and was glad he was staying.

"Are you serious?" Maya said finally. "Yeah, you should be nicer...." Her voice trailed off; she didn't want another fight now. "I forgive you." Silently she looked down. "But you're still a jerk." She grinned, her eyes dancing with mischief.
