Marcus perks up when he spots the woman with the strange looking group of animals, and he even goes as far as to hold his hand out for the dog to sniff. "Hey there good boy!" And his inner childhood tugs at his heart strings. The entire Nexus is like a dream come true, that is if this place isn't the result of him dreaming in the first place.

Turning his attention away from the dog, and he nods his head. "Course it does. If reading is something you do for fun, you're damn straight it counts. As for that there." He looks away from Adia and turns his attention back at his computer, and the program he's using to control his drone.

"Yup, that's my drone. And yeah, computers and drones are a bit of a hobby of mine." Without looking back up to Adia, and his fingers gracefully dance across the keys and the drone flits about high over their heads. "So what type of books do you like to read?" He asks as he looks back up at Adia.
