( for all his other faults, marc is not especially inclined to want to argue about this either. he may not be agreeable, but that doesn't mean that disagreements are what he enjoys. they tend to set him on edge, leave him terse and frustrated, drifting towards coping mechanisms that have been identified as perhaps not the best.
here, whatever and wherever here is, marc's aware that the absence of andrea will not play in his favour. he's never done well when he's had to be the sole arbiter of his own reactions. he'll draw lines in the sand and then not realise he's crossed them until they're far in the distance, but for now, he's not that far removed for them to be unrecognisable. )
Forget it, ( he says, with a dismissive, off-hand wave of a hand. he means it in the sense of 'for what?' with a side of 'don't worry about it', but whether it comes across as that is another matter entirely — at best, it likely comes across as awkward.
which then segues into his hand hovering near the bridge of his nose, indecisive and hesitant before dropping back to his side and being shoved into a pocket, resolute. ) It's fine. And like you said, you didn't ask.
