Mark's declaration made the others gasp, Jasmine was the most surprised out of them all. She may have hesitated to support Ailetta during the multiple times that her life was at stake, but for her brother, she was already standing by his side before she realized it.
As Noah registered Mark's threat, his narrowed gaze was brimmed with hostile intent. Considering Mark's current prowess, Noah knew that Mark wasn't a threat in the slightest, but his body reacts to threats all the same. When prepared to respond with the same energy given, Noah felt a tug on his arm. Glaring towards the source, his budding aggressiveness receded when noticing Ailetta's concerned gaze.
That look she gave him was a reminder of the character they were once talking about not too long ago. His gaze softened as he returned a wry smile in her direction before returning his focus to Mark.
