"Heh. Don't I know it." Marcus chuckled, trying not to form too many mental images. The woman had an ass anyone would be hard-pressed not to want to dig teeth into, but for some reason having those thoughts while looking at a baby seemed unclean. Sorry, kid, your mom is hard not to picture naked. You had her tits in your mouth earlier, so you probably get it. He watched the kid shuffle about for a bit before holding his hand out loosely, not so much in invitation but just so that Liam knows he's being paid attention.
"Me? Not much different. Like to use my mouth, hit things. Simple guy, saben? Dunno what 'coasting' is, but I try to be open-minded." Marcus turns his head to flash a quick, wicked grin at her over his shoulder, but then looks back at the child and shrugs, speaking to him in a soft, conversational tone. "Odio a los ninos, Liam. No beben, no jodan... es raro. Pero qué sé yo? Estas ahi abajo, haciendo lo tuyo, no? Mierda, paraces feliz. That's the main thing."
Kids and dogs were very similar, in his opinion. Demanding creatures desperate for love in a way that evoked empathy in most people, but seemed like broadstroke manipulation tactics to him. There wasn't anything wrong with that, necessarily. Dogs were bred to do that, and kids were reliant on others for the first dozen and a half years of their lives. Marcus didn't fault them for using what survival kids they had. He'd never taken an early childhood development course, but he knew that the brain had to take a few years to fully form. That meant that babies probably weren't even all that aware of their surroundings. They were still getting a feel for existing outside of the womb, which didn't leave a lot of time for high-minded concepts like what actions might have which effects (or whether or not a stranger's tone of voice completely matched the words they were saying in another language), but he remembered hearing something once about the first thing a baby learning to do was cry on command to summon its mother. That shit was manipulative, no other way to look at it.
Then again, he did think there was something to respect about the simplicity of their lives. Easy demands meant easy fulfillment, so there wasn't anything inherently wrong with just wanting to be fed and played with once in a while. Eventually, kids even had the decency to evolve into actual people, even, which did give babies an edge over dogs in the long run. That was something.
