Marco is realising that this is a discussion they will need to take their time to have. Kai is volatile and obviously very upset about it. Marco gives himself a moment to think about it because now that he's embracing what's happening to them, he knows he's been privy to Kai's life before even seeing the man and he knows there's quite a bit of suffering in his past, it's been a steady presence at the back of Marco's mind for a long, long time.

He does put two and two together, however, Kai's horror at talking about his family and the constant terror in his past. There's a hard look in the blond's eyes for a moment, anger and disgust, but he puts it all aside for now.

"How about... I tell you something instead," he suggests then, pushing his own untouched drink towards Kai with an apologetic gesture, perhaps an apology for bringing up a topic like that. "I was not born to high status. In fact, I lived at the fringes of the my clan for most of my childhood. We didn't have much, just my grandmother, my twin sister, and me. Later I learned granny was not related to us at all, which would probably explain why she ever had very little interest towards us. We worked hard since early childhood. Sometimes Mandor, the man responsible for our birth, came to see us under a disguise. He's a weird one, Lord Sawall. I angered him around my tenth birthday and he dropped me across the world with just the clothes on my back and left me there. It was a hard trip back home. I begged and worked and was ruined in so many ways already before I got back home. Of course during the time I had been away, my sister had fell ill and not survived. Killing my father at the time seemed like a very logical conclusion to all this, so..." He huffs out a small laughter. Little boy's mindless determination had been his leading light those days.
