Ace felt a tug on her hair, her eyes zeroed in on the strand, and traced it all the way to Dustin, who seemed to be thinking about something. Worry was etched onto his face, and Ace wasn't about to let it get the best of him. She waved her hand in front of his face,"Hello?~ Don't start raping my hair without telling me, I would like to not have to fix it when we go to the Zoo..." She knew it was only a strand, but still, she gave him a childish pout, despite her age and the fact that she has a job. Lifting up the cow pillow, she suddenly stood up,"Well! No time to sit around, we need to get there before lunch! Let's go get Marcus and Loren!"

She jumped out of bed and opened the door, holding it for Dustin and bowing,"After you sir?" She teased, snickering to herself at the lame joke.

Marcus looked at her with wide eyes,"Loren, calm down, I'm sure," He hesitated, before he went on,"I'm sure there's a perfect explanation for what we're seeing, we just need to make sure that there are more memories, so then it'll prove it, and we can go force information out of Dustin or Ace, considering how close those two are now, Dustin must've told her something. He knew that his plan wouldn't work out too well, but he didn't want to address such a horrible problem when it was early morning, and the start of a new day.

He tentatively took one of her hands and placed his other hand on her cheek, bringing their heads closer together, he whispered,"It's going to be alright, I'm sure it was just because I'm a fallen, maybe it's a curse that comes with being around humans..." It hurt to say that, but he didn't want her to panic about it, and he didn't want to know why he would even consider doing such a thing.

((I'm equally sorry it took long for me to reply as well. I guess, maybe we can go get Marcus jealous, and he may get an anger spike, and trash the Zoo, which would strike more memories that had occured between them? It would get Loren worried and possible wary of Marcus, causing tension and distrust between the two. And it gets so bad, that Ace and Dustin have to butt in?))
