Marked

[Reeves]

That grin that had appeared on Morreti's face before returned, this time much wider and more pronounced, the corners of his eyes wrinkling from genuine amusement at how easily Pedro had cracked under pressure and given up information, by surrendering his only bargaining chip to the serpent, Damian simply nodded to Olivia. Reaching for her shoulder and seeming to instinctively know where his mark had been concealed, that was easily due to the fact that she was wearing equipment that the snake was very familiar with, given that it belonged to his cause. Softly pressing the mark back in place to be visible on his shoulder, he would holster his gun properly and belted the grip down with a strap attached to the holster. "Remember this little moment in time, because it's proof you're no better than I am. In the end, we're one and the same. Like I promised, he's all yours. But the girl and the ship's cargo, those come with me." He turned to look back at Pedro one final time after directing those words towards his convenient ally in all of this.

"You should never have come after my people, Pedro. Don't worry, I'll take good 'care' of your suppliers whenever I find them in Liberty. I'm sure all these trinkets will invigorate the cause." If words had venom, then the way he expressed all of this would have surely been lethal. Exchanging another glance with Olivia, Damian walked over to where Pedro had indicated the girl was, ripping away the lid of the cargo container prompted a shrill scream of terror, initially believing she was being taken out by the same men who had put her in the container. When her eyes adjusted to the light, the girl groaned out a sigh of relief and wept tears of relief when the face turned out to be familiar, a friend even. Her legs had been broken to fit her in the cramped space, so despite Morreti's absolute lack of interest in being 'comforting' towards people, he would pull her free and carry her the rest of the way in his arms. Despite his methods, he appeared to be true to some semblance of his word, he did look out for his own people. But it did also seem like he was the reason they were targets at all. All the same, his business here was concluded and he turned to leave with a slow pace, Olivia had a few moments to say something if she wanted.
