Markus smirked at his comment and shook his head, a small chuckle was audible from his throat. "Far too early, that's usually an afternoon or evening activity, also more of a Monday thing." he said with a tone of sarcasm, but his tone soon changed to a serious one as he spoke up again. "Headache, huh?" he asked as he could easily sense that the lighting and the clear hangover this man was suffering from would only get in the way of what he wanted from him.
Markus outstretched his hand from under the table, causing small shadows to casually cover some of the lighting overhead, making it not so harsh on the other man's eyes, as well as his own. He looked back up at the man as he studied his face, he wasn't exactly what he was expecting, but to be fair Markus wasn't exactly sure of what he should have expected in the first place to be honest.
He looked back up at the man that sat across from him, and folded his hands in a none threatening way in front of him on the table, "Besides, I'm not exactly a favored person in the public eye. Something I'm sure we can both relate on. But we both know that's not why we're here, Lucian." he said with a calm and serious tone as he made slight eye contact with the blonde male from across the table. He wouldn't start a fight unless it was necessary, but for now, he would easily remain calm and rational, as there was no need to start anything with this man, at least not to Markus anyway.
