Marcus looks at Bree but remains silent. He then turns to his horse and begins to reattach the satchel of beef jerky to the saddle. His face's expression is one of defeat and frustration. Marcus can't help but look this way, his thoughts urge him to put on a smile and console the situation, but he is in no mood to do so. Not only has he failed to make a good first impression with Dewar family, but he singlehandedly may have driven Aegis further away.

With everything concluding the way it did, Marcus can't help but feel he has worsened the situation rather than improve. Even after the satchel is reattached to the saddle he remains silent. The only thing out of Marcus is a deep inhale and exhale before he pulls out a cigarette sized cigar. He place it between his lips and strikes a match. With the skill of a seasoned smoker he cover the match and turns the cigar away from the wind and rain as he lights it. Taking several puffs of the cigar, Marcus tunes away from the others to collect his thoughts.
