"He thinks it's funny?" Marcellus asked, confused at the notion since he still thought of the ringmaster as a sort of hero to him for helping him stay alive. He frowned to himself as Ali explained his situation a bit more to him, feeling bad that the daredevil had to deal with such things. "Well, you don't have to worry about me judging you. I had a pretty bad drinking problem myself before I came here. I was really depressed and it sort of helped me forget all my problems and stuff. So I can relate to you at least a bit," Marcellus tried, not implying that he understood why Ali drank so much as he just knew what it was like to be looked down upon in a way for drinking. He looked up though as they came to the kitchen tent, glad now at the thought of finding out where he could get drinks when he felt he wanted one. "Come on, you can show me where they keep the good stuff," he said with a grin, giving him an unintentionally rough pat on the back. Luckily for him, his "friendly gestures" like that wouldn't likely be able to hurt or really upset this particular performer.
