Pytor was embarrassed and felt his luck surge into him. He wasn't embarrassed for what he was, he was embarrassed that he had gotten caught. Yegor and his cronies laughed. Stanislav moved towards Pyotr, and Pyotr tensed up, but Yegor stopped him with a hand. Yegor was smart enough to know that a fight would get them all fired, and content enough with verbally harassing him. Everything in him wanted him to lash out at Yegor with the power, but he didn't. He would use it to help Marcus - he could deal with the asshole later.
Yegor made more derogatory comments at him. Pyotr didn't answer - feeling too embarrassed to come up with anything to say. He wanted to hit the man though, but Raul and Stanislav would join in the fight - especially with Stanislav wanting to hit him. As Yegor spoke, Pytor heard more footsteps approaching. He racked his brain to think of who else was scheduled today - it was Pavel - the new guy. Great - another person to make fun of him.
Pavel's glare at Yegor and his gang spoke differently though. "Leave him alone, Yegor. It's not the double-zeros anymore. No one cares, and it's not like it's any of your fucking business anyways."
Pavel gave Pyotr an encouraging look and Pyotr returned the look with a slight nod of gratitude as Pavel moved to get ready for work. It wasn't often that people stood up for him, and Pyotr stood a little taller at that. It felt good to not be alone.
