(Have we met Marcus before in this RP or is he new?)
Noah, for his part had not noticed Marcus until Lily called his attention to it with her words. He did glance up though, but did not have a very strong visible reaction. Instead, his grip tightened on the knife that he had been using to dice some tomatos. After a moment, he set the knife and things down before looking up.
He could feel Lily's annoyance radiating off of her, but he did not share her exact feelings on this matter. Something inside of him pushed him to accept the not so subtle challenge.
"After Lily has breakfast, I will go through whatever exam that you have in mind... Marcus." Noah said and dismissed the man with a mental shrug before looking at Lily. "Do you care for onion in your omelet, Lily?"
