[ A family thing, then. Coming here so soon after killing Gene makes that resonate with Marcus in a way that it might not have, otherwise. After losing his parents, Marcus was pretty fucking bitter and resentful towards anyone who took theirs for granted - but he's seen how bad they can get, now. Maybe Tate was in a similar situation. ]

Okay.

[ A pause. Marcus isn't sure what to say next. He kind of wants to apologize, offer hollow, empty sympathy that would just make Tate feel uncomfortable. There's more thinking than there needs to be before he finally settles on something that he hopes sounds both simple and sincere. ]

Thanks for telling me.

[Tate lays still for a beat, watching Marcus passively; there's something about this moment that he likes. It's the trust, maybe. The fact that he doesn't feel like Marcus will break said trust - it'd probably go against what he believes in and if there's one thing Tate believes, it's that Marcus is pretty good about keeping his morals in check. At least when it isn't about killing other friends due to blackmail and paranoia.

Tate slips both hands behind his head and stares up at the ceiling.]

I'm wanna hang here tonight. You cool with that?

Yeah, okay. Just...

[ There's a beat, here, with Marcus looking at Tate for a long few seconds like he's about to say something different to what he ends up going with. He shakes his head, dismisses whatever was in his head, then stands, heading to grab some water. Kind of needs it, after that. ]

Don't possess me or whatever.
