i dunno i guess i'll just toss this up, i didn't really stick to my "let people in on the world stuff" new year's shindig
anywho, someone a looonnng time ago asked for the most interesting interaction between marco and mother s, which is like. there’s a few i’d pick out of the line, but i feel like they all need world context i’m still too much of a weenie to put up. SO. their first one-on-one.
mother isn’t used to things not falling in line with her wants or her plans, and when faced with things seemingly “out of her control” she reverts to violent tantrums to get things back in their appropriate place
this would’ve been pretty shortly after marco’s integration into his newfound culture, so i think being unexpectedly thrown back into that kind of attack after considering it solidly behind him would have messed him up pretty bad for a while after; with mother not really getting what’s so wrong since “punishment was dealt and is now over” and all that

The species as a whole, since their bodies are generally the most disposable part of themselves, can heal and recover from just about anything. It's just generally a painful and relatively prolonged process for larger injuries, and for extremely violent ones may leave the individual largely unconscious until everything's back up to speed.

Can Marco fully recover from that kind of attack?
