"As I was saying, can you do it?"

Quentin's cold breath caressed the shell of Marcus's ears. 

Marcus's heart thudded. This time, he was frightened. The fear crawling into his heart was something he never felt before.

"If I say yes…" Marcus blurted out in a flat tone, slowly turning his head to Quentin. "... will you clean up… this mess?"

The corner of Quentin's lips curled up in satisfaction. "That's easy."
