Markus wasn't in the best state after the encounter with the ghost, and frankly, if he ever saw Mac again, he knew he would have questions. Mostly to satisfy his own curiosity, but there were genuine concerns he hadn't thought about until now.
As Max muttered, Markus decided to let it go. He was in agreement, and he hoped Mac would hold up his end of the deal. But it was too late for doubts now. Instead, he turned to face the other man, his question hanging in the air. It was a difficult question for Markus to answer, and he pondered over it, his tongue clicking in thought.
“I have faith that Mac will act in his own best interest,” Markus replied honestly, but he knew it wasn't a satisfying answer. “I can't say that I trust Mac as a person; he is too... you know... for that, and I distanced myself from him for a reason.” Markus took a sip of his drink, his gaze distant.
“However, he has always watched out for himself, and from what I see, at least cares about not directly harming people. That ghost was pretty dead set on killing him, for whatever reason, so I don't think he would let it out until he figured out a way to destroy it... if such a thing is even possible.” Markus said with a slight shrug.
It was still difficult for him to consider how much things had changed. Everything he read about ghosts, at least from a mythology standpoint, said they were once human. It was hard to think how destroying something like that was any different than killing someone. He wasn't sure if imprisonment or destruction was better in this case, and there was no case law for dealing with murderous ghosts as far as he knew.
