Michael thought he had figured out what else to get, something he could keep secret and hidden for the week before Christmas. He sighed softly, deciding that he would go out the next day to get the things, if he could think up a good enough reason to get away from Dare. It wouldn't be too bad to just tell Dare that he was going out to get stuff he couldn't see, though.

Any part of the silence which might have been comfortable was rapidly fading for Markise. He was finally thinking about Dare instead of that bastard Ariel, and though he knew it wasn't possible, he felt like somehow Michael might hear his thoughts and hate him again. If he didn't still hate him now. Markise wasn't willing to take any chance of pissing Michael off again. "So, were you going back to the castle?" Markise asked, hoping it didn't sound as blunt as he thought it did.

Michael blinked at being pulled out of his thoughts. "Um," he paused, having to think it over in his mind to make sense of the question. "Yes, you just...looked like you needed to talk." Michael had always felt the need to help when someone he knew seemed like they needed it, even to the point of getting into fights over it. He was glad he had stopped to talk with Markise.

Markise looked at Michael a moment, then dropped his gaze. "I did. Thank you," he said softly. Michael had made it painfully difficult to want to see him die so Markise could take his place. Okay, maybe he'd made it impossible. Markise looked back at Michael again. He wanted to say something more, to tell Michael how much he'd really helped, or maybe to apologize for having been so bitter about him having Michael. He couldn't though, and he knew that Michael wouldn't want to hear it. He looked away again. "Thank you," he said again, softly.

"You're welcome," Michael said, nodding as he looked over at Markise. He was glad that he had stopped, but he could tell that it was nearing the end of his welcome. Or maybe he was just really wanting to get back to Dare. "I think that I'm going to go try to find Dare," he said, then sighed as he thought of the fact that he was going on another hunt fairly soon.

Markise bit his tongue firmly at that announcement, swallowing down a sarcastic thanks for letting me know. Somehow he managed to see Michael away without doing so, and to wait until he was gone before succumbing to self-pity again.
