Marcus has been in solitarity, silent contemplation ever since Noirin pledged herself to Siavash, who now wants to be there for Marcus, and so, tries to break the silence.

As he sets of to speak to the melancholy one, Siavash instructs Noirin to get help if he's not back in half an hour.

Siavash goes and sits besides Marcus, who's in his now usual position with eyes closed, and covered with his duvet.

15 minutes and more goes by, where he cannot find the words to say. Then he finally summons up the courage and starts with

"Okay. this is ridiculous. Marcus, How you doing? Can we talk?"

But moody Marcus was not up for it.

The Iranian soon realised it wasn't happening and left with the words "I'm sorry man, you know I love you"

When he got back to Noirin, she was shocked with how few words were said in so much time.

Well, I guess not many of us are prepared for a situation in which you you live in 24 hour close proximity to your best mate, whose bird you've kissed and spooned in bed, and then you have the task of trying to smooth things over.

But Siavash has gone through that experience, and will be better prepared for the chat next time.

Maybe.
