Cornelia said, "You go see him, I'll wait here."
Marcus knew Cornelia had a bone to pick with Zavier because of Skyler. She didn't want to set foot near Zavier and Marcus didn't push her, "Alright then."
...
A bit later.
Marcus saw Zavier, his hair had turned gray. This guy, not even thirty, seemed to have aged overnight. He was lying in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, not uttering a word.
When Marcus walked in, he didn't react.
Marcus sat at his bedside, "Zavier."
Zavier didn't move, didn't respond.
Marcus continued, "Skyler's been burnt to a crisp."
At the mention of Skyler's name, two tears rolled down Zavier's face and then he chuckled, "Here to rub salt in my wounds, are ya?"
