Carlos sat on the floor shocked beyond his wits and too terrified to move.
"Ma-Marquis Ocean?" He spoke in a feeble voice and flinched as Ocean moved his legs and rose to his feet.
Carlos almost scurried away as he saw Ocean take two strides before stopping in front of him and crouch near him. Carlos felt his heart beating so loudly that he wondered if Ocean was able to hear it.
But he wondered if it was only fear or the awe that made his heart react like that. It was the first time that he was seeing Ocean without a mask.
But how was this possible? His mother had told him that Ocean's face was badly burned and he was absolutely ugly then how could his face look so... mesmerizing?
Ocean reached his hand out and Carlos almost leaned back before he realised that Ocean was giving him his hand.
Carlos stared at the hand and then at Ocean, who didn't look as intimidating up close. Carlos placed his hand in Ocean's long, gloved fingers before the two men got up.
