Being questioned by Argus, Marcus could definitely understand his cautiousness in this situation.
Luckily, Marek had already informed him about Argus' wary nature and had told him what to say.
'I hope to never see another chestnut again.'
As soon as Marcus said this, Argus' eyes went wide remembering the time that both he and Marek had fought a giant organism that was made up of hundreds of trees and launched large exploding chestnuts at each of them.
It had been one of their first missions together, and once it was completed those were the words Marek had said, and it became a kind of inside joke for them.
Smiling and chuckling to himself, Argus responded saying, 'Yes that is something that only Marek would have someone say to me.'
