( marc would try and say that it's not that he doesn't want her poking his brain (he doesn't) but that it's for her own good (it is, kind of) because he doesn't know what she'd see, doesn't know how she'd react. she flushes, just a little, not enough to really be noticeable and marc notices it only subconsciously, certainly not enough to think anything of why.

there's a laugh. he wouldn't know 'well-rested' if it punched him in the face.
she sounds like she believes it though, and he closes his eyes.
god fuck, he hates this. )
