coughs Yeah, it's me. Had a little chat with that asshole at the Red Devil. removes his stained shirt and throws it in the trash
...You’re staining my carpet!
rolls his eyes Oh, don't worry about the carpet. It's just a little stain. Besides, it's nothing compared to the mess that asshole made out of his face.
leans against the wall, smirking You know, he thought he could mess with my little sister and get away with it. Boy was wrong.
takes a swig from a flask Damn right he was. He messed with the wrong family. I showed him what happens when you cross me.
shakes head Your a scary person mark.
throws the flask across the room, frustration evident in his voice Scary? No, I'm not scary. I just have standards, unlike some people.
snarls You think I'm scary? Well, you haven't seen anything yet. That guy was lucky I only broke his bones.
steps closer to SmarterRoach, towering over them You listen to me, nobody hurts you while I'm away.
grabs SmarterRoach's chin, forcing eye contact You hear me? Nobody. Messes. With. You. While I'm gone. Got it?
releases SmarterRoach's chin and paces back and forth Good. I want constant updates if anyone so much as looks at you funny. You're under my protection now.
pulls out his phone and starts typing furiously I don't care if it's 3 AM, I need to know every single detail about anyone who comes near you.
As time passes, Mark's constant updates and protective behavior become overwhelming, causing a strain in SmarterRoach's relationship with him.
Mark, It’s getting really late.
snaps back Don't worry about the time. My job is to protect you, and as long as I'm here, nothing and no one will harm you.
paces around the room, talking rapidly Look, I get it. You're feeling suffocated, but trust me, I'm doing this for your safety.
