Marco? Shut his mouth? Never! In fact, his mouth was actually wide open, as his jaw dropped at the sudden appearance of a fist in the front of his shirt and finding himself slammed into the nearest chunk of wall.

"Hey, chill out!" Most days, Marco wished he wasn't so puny compared to most other people, and this day was no exception. He put his hands up lamely, trying to keep them between his face and Kengo's free hand, but didn't attempt to squirm too much. "I'm just trying to like, look out for my fellow man out here, you know? In case you haven't noticed, we're a rare breed. Too much weird stuff happens, they take the two of us out, and the human species is that much closer to extinction. Right?"

He was babbling a bit, for sure, but he needed Kengo to see that they shouldn't be enemies. Mostly because he didn't want his teeth smashed in.
