[How did Marcus get talked into chopping wood? The same way he gets talked into just about anything else he ends up doing here: he's capable of it and (most likely) one of the best options for the job... pretty much exactly how things work back at home, so. Well. He's used to it, at least.
It doesn't take all that much effort to wield an axe compared to swinging around his regular weapon; once he gets a rhythm going, he ends up working at a pretty good pace, the pile of chopped wood stacked beside him growing rapidly. (And while he's no McGillis, he will take off his jacket after a while to keep himself from overheating, so... enjoy the sort-of view of him in just a black t-shirt, you thirsty people here.)
Later on he can be found tending the pot of oden, stirring it and adding fresh ingredients as necessary once people help themselves to some. If he notices you eying it, he'll grin and reach for a bowl.]
Hungry? There's plenty left.
[By the time the party is finally starting to wind down, he actually seems pretty tired and has taken a seat near the bonfire itself, cup of mulled wine in hand as he tries to relax for the first time all day. Petition to let Marcus rest for once in his life Still, he's not so tired that he isn't willing to chat if anyone approaches, though he does seem considerably more subdued than he was earlier. Perhaps it's just that he's tired, or perhaps there's some deeper reason behind it... hard to say.
It might be due to the fireball he's staring intently at, however...]
