Mark asked with a light growl, raising his shoulders a bit, just to show “who’s scarier and stronger” here. Even though they have almost the same body type.
–H-hey! Don’t touch me! Even though you look like me, it doesn’t mean that you can easily touch me!
Mark is just scared. He’s panicking. Obviously, because this is all super weird. And super scary.
▶️ — Mark quickly jumped back as soon as the other Mark said not to touch him. “Sorry, sorry.” He quickly apologized. After a moment, he shifted and glanced around them. “Look, I know this is weird. Like, shit. I don’t know what the fuck is going on. But you’re like… real. I could touch you. And you’re… me?” He scoped the other and then looked at his own body, as if to compare.
Mark laughed with the biggest grin on his face, patting Eddy’s shoulder.
–Nice try, bro! But don’t hide from me something that you can’t hide!
▶️ — “At least I never got stung by a bee for putting a thumb up to a fucking nest.” Oh great. Eddy’s about to shove all of Mark’s past mistakes in his face to seem smarter. Asshole.
Eddy got him this time. It’s pretty funny how he picking things that are completely not involved in the conversation in any ways, but still - Mark is being speechless.
