Seeing he had the opportunity, Marcus took Kara to the side of the room and asked, almost like a child, "Ok, now, for the sake of this whole celebration... can't you forget about my actions? Let's just act as if I was never here and don't report me, please." "No can do, lad. Rules are rules and neither one of us is above them. Now let me enjoy the party." - she finished with a firm tone, then smiled and moved towards a table with delicacies.
Seeing he had no chance, Marcus thought about it for a few minutes. While still pondering his options, or lack thereof, he figured he had nothing to lose if he tried to convince the other Colonial to back him up, namely the celebrated young woman, Evelyn. With this in mind, he started walking randomly between the guests, waiting for her to return to the party room.
