Markise had heard the noise the moment it started, and his eyes had squeezed shut hoping it wouldn't get any louder. Anna's offer sounded incredible. He didn't care if he had to lay on the floor at this point, just as long as it was a quiet floor and there wouldn't be any interruptions. "Let's get out of here," he said softly.
He moved gingerly, folding his book closed and setting it beside him as he turned to get his shoes. His head was throbbing in protest to the movement, but there wasn't anything he could do about that. There was no way he was going to keep talking, even vaguely, when there was someone close. It took him a few minutes to get himself and his belongings together, then Markise pushed to his feet, gesturing for Annabelle to lead the way.
