In Marks opinion the only one whose magic abilities that could come close to Cry's was Jack's, it was incredible, the little he saw was so …Alive. Although Jack rarely used his magic if he could help it, he never really explained why either, but Mark had no interest in pushing the matter. Mark had asked before and Jack had been rather clear he did not appreciate marks 'prying', Jack had apologized profusely later but mark had claim there was no need for it and that if jack didn't want to divulge his reasons he had no need to. The sound of a glass being set down in front of him brought mark out of his thoughts, he looked up at Cry and gave a nod in thanks as he took a sip.
"Excellent as always Cry"
"Did you expect anything less Mark" Cry responded haughtily, as the eye on his mask winked at him.
"Hmmmm well, you never know-" Seeing the eyes of cry's mask narrow as cry leaned slightly forward from behind the bar, Mark stopped himself and chuckled nervously, he could hear Jack, Pewdie and Ken stifling chuckles in the background "of course I'm joking Cry, you have the best drinks in Victubia" As Cry leaned back and his mask returned to neutral, mark could faintly hear something being set down under the bar.
"That's better." The smirk was clear in Cry's voice. Mark had learned the hard way to stay on cry's good side, and he really didn't like that sound. After a moment of Cry smirking over Mark, Ken intervened.
"Alright you two, that's enough." Mark discreetly breathed a sigh of relief wile Cry turned away from him.
"Or what, hmmm?" Cry leered.
"Is that a threat bartender?" Ken responded.
"And if it is newsman?" Cry shot back. Then Jack stepped in.
"Weren't you just trying to cool them down Ken." Jack shot then turned to Cry.
"Seriously though, that's enough." Cry just looked at him for a moment, the eyes of his mask blinked, he squared his shoulders for a moment before relaxing again. Jack straightened slightly on his barstool as well before the tension that had been building in the air dissipated once again.
"You have a point Jack. I'm sorry, to you as well Ken, I'm not sure what came over me." Cry said turning back to Ken, just then Red vaulted into the bar with her tray, she gave Cry the order then turned to the others.
"Oh, if it isn't lord Mark, nice to see you showed up, I was beginning to think you wouldn't." She said smiling.
"Of course I made it, lady Red. I'd never miss it. Just got delayed by an incident at the castle." Mark responded good naturedly.
"Order up, Red. Off you go."
