"Are you really going to stay back and do nothing?" Mathew ignored how the entire group was about to depart, opting to turn toward Marcus instead. "Is that how little you care about the people you left back at your base?"
Marcus couldn't know for sure what was happening. After all, contrary to the rest of Mathew's group, he didn't partake in the meeting where Norbert revealed the details of the situation.
All he could do, so far, was to observe their actions and try to guess the situation from those. And judging how he remained relatively close to the group, that's exactly what he was doing.
"What are you talking about?" Marcus asked while squinting his eyes.
Given how his cover was now blown, he stepped out from behind the bush he was hiding in and stood right before Mathew, ready to confront him.
"It's exactly as I said," Mathew smiled lightly, "there is a small horde coming to your base," he stated.
