I am more torn now. Marshal doing this type of antic is unseen of for me. I haven’t seen him pull something this time-consuming off.
But at the same time, considering how people keep talking about his habits, this just seems like a new precedent Marshal is trying to pull off. If anything, this could’ve been to see if specific people would try and defend Arete and possibly get an Arete scum slip since he seemed so sure of it before going off the quotes brought up earlier
