"ANNA SERIOUSLY, will you stop avoiding me!" (Mark)
Anna had stepped off, having pulled out a herbology book to help her identify the plant in front of her, since they decided to set up camp early. Justin and Kyle decided to use their auto build skill with Greyson to see if they were able to use it in the middle of sparing. Not that Anna understood why they were sparing Kyle was still technically injured but it has been over a week since he got slashed accross the stomach. So she had decided to see if she could gather herbs and try to make some traditonal medicine to see if she could make an alchamy skill.
What she didn't accound for was Mark. She had been avoiding being near him in any sense of privacy. She didn't have to worry about being confronted since she was rarely alone. Having to go to the restroom is no longer a thing since they all evolved a second time making any form of physical waste no longer a thing.They still have to eat and Anna doesn't understand their new physiology although she would never disect anyone she didn't need to. So when she went plant hunting she was less excited to turn around to see Mark.
"Mark you know why." (Anna)
"Seriously Anna I apologised for my actions." (Mark)
Mark had approached Anna in front of the others probably after getting told by one of the other guy's that she doesnt want to be near him without others around. Anna had started thinking of the group like family. So when he went to punch her in the face she lost a lot of trust in him. Although having him apologise to her in front of the others made her see him less as an enemy. It restored something although he had yet to earn back her full trust. Her willingness to be alone with him was still a no.
"I am relearning to trust you , but you haven't earned enough trust back for me to be fully alone with you." (Anna)
"What do you even want me to do to get your trust?" (Mark)
Mark looked exasperated throwing up his hands as he asked his question.
"Okay simply put nothing I mean nothing you can do will imideatly get me to trust you. I only trust people once I know and understand them, but breaking my faith in you the way that you did. You as a person now scares me. At this point your lucky I no longer see you as a threat to my safety." (Anna)
Mark seemed to wilt Anna felt horrible about saying it but she feels she isnt wrong about that fact.
"In an act of stress you acted in violence. That shows me more than I'd like to admit. I trust you to not kill me but physically hurt me when something stressful happens. I don't know if you would follow through if that were the case." (Anna)
"I won't." (Mark)
"You tried." (Anna)
"I didn't mean to I felt horrible that I attempted to do that after calming down." (Mark)
"Yet you tried to punch me in the face after calling me a freak when I tried to get everyones priority straight." (Anna)
"You already know I find you weird." (Mark)
"Yet that weird is a good thing you called me a freak as an insult." (Anna)
"Damn it do you always have a quip." (Mark)
