Marlin spends most of his time in the Inner Heart district, true, but if there's another district so nearby that's completely different why wouldn't he want to see it? That's the kind of thought process that brings him here now, on his own just for exploration purposes and a lack of something to do in his free time. He's had to run a few errands for his master here, sure, but wandering freely on his own makes it feel more likely that he'll find something new and fresh!
He is not, however, expecting fresh blood caked onto a person who may or may not be dying. He's got to blink and squint a few times before he's rushing to the maybe-almost-corpse with absolutely no plan in mind besides the fact that you don't just walk on by injured people without doing anything.
"Are you okay?!" is the first thing he thinks of blurting out to the very obviously not-okay boy.

his only consolation, really, is that his opponent is worse off right now—maybe not by much, but he'd swear upon hearing a bone crack during the course of the brawl. he's still the loser in the end, though. pure grit and mettle doesn't win against numbers in a stacked fight.
that simple truth's never stopped him before, which means this won't be the last time ezra's hunched against the wall, watching blood flow with light-headed detachment.
he catches nearing footfalls, a shout that makes him wince. slowly, ezra lifts his head to glance at the concerned stranger, then immediately lets it fall again. "yeah. fuck off."

The reply he gets in response to his goodwill is just a tad off-putting, but Marlin takes it with a grain of salt. Mostly. His concern is marred by a hint of irritation, but he can't bring himself to get too angry when the guy is literally bleeding out in front of him.
"Okay well you're clearly not so, so..." He takes a look around. "I'll help you, c'mon." He holds his hand out, like this is going to do wonders for the stranger. And he seems to realize this when he hastily adds, "Or... wait do you need help walking?" Does he offer his hand? Shoulder? Nothing? What?

"no. i'm fine," he grits out from between clenched teeth, looking pained—pained by an unwanted, annoying good samaritan who hasn't pissed off yet. as if to prove his ability to stand on his own, ezra abruptly levers off the wall to his feet, both hands pressed against his stomach. "see?"
then vertigo slams full-force into his skull, and the realization that the world is no longer upright comes too late. the pavement's already rushing up to meet him.

Marlin rushes forward to catch the guy, and admittedly struggles to hold him up because spending the majority of your life reading books does that to you. But he manages it, and eventually situates them so he's supporting the other whose arm he puts over his shoulder. "Yes, I see that you're not fine, actually," he replies after the fact a bit under his breath. So, now that they've established that this guy needs help, it's just a matter of... helping.
Ugh, if only Nasnan were here he'd be able to do something. (Provided he'd actually listen, though.)
"So... where do you live? Is it close enough to walk to?" That's probably the safest bet right? Considering Marlin doesn't know shit about what's in the outer ring besides a few restaurants here and there. Though wait.
"...you're not close to dying are you?"

thankfully he never hits the ground—ezra guesses said samaritan does deserve some credit, at least, for preventing what would've been a nasty fall. resigned, he leans into the boy's side and quietly allows his arm to be positioned, blood dripping off his dangling hand and soaking into the other's shirt. "sure, whatever," he retorts back under his breath, too tired to bother bristling any more than that.
funnily enough, his mind goes blank, like a slate wiped clean, after the straightforward question. an image of his father's bone-white manor flickers through, quickly dissipates. he can't, won't, go back there. then ezra remembers vivien's apartment and—well, he'd rather not face the blond's muted concern right now.
brow furrowed, he's probably taken too long to answer. "nowhere near here," ezra admits truthfully, and then, incredulous: "dying? what, are you stupid? i've been worse."

Well shit. Marlin is sure some kind of medical place would be the best option after this guy's home, but he doesn't know where that would be. So while he figures that out, his temper somewhat kicks in as he retorts.
"I was just checking!" He's getting blood on his clothes to help this person out, so he should be a little more grateful! The magician doesn't actually voice this part of his thoughts. "Jeez, what the heck do you even do to get beaten worse than this?" It's a bit rhetorical, since his clearly attitude isn't made for friend-making, but honestly. He looks to be around Marlin's age and Marlin sure doesn't remember getting bloodied, much less even worse than this.
It's a stroke of luck that he happens to spot the word Auberge attached to a building up ahead. Oh thank god, an inn. He's got enough money for a room on him surely, and they must have some kind of first aid kit right? So slowly, he directs their course towards there.
