Adelhard looks to Marcus for help on the matter, but he gets none. The former champion of Zahmeria only gestures back to Ibrahim. "Well that's what I was hoping to remedy with this visit. Though I'm a stranger to you, I'm not to Marcus. The evidence of my legitimacy is Marcus. If I had the slightest amount of ill intent, Marcus would have never agreed to bring me here."

"Actually Adel, I agreed to bring you here more for Lucida's sake than your desire to see her. I felt it'd be nice for Lucida to see she has your attention. Not everyday you peak the interest of royalty." Marcus finishes his tea and sets the cup down, before crossing his legs. "Yet just like Doc, I have my concerns too. Though I believe you mean well, as stated Lucida is young. She's vastly inexperienced in socializing with boys. So she might not be as quick to pick up on certain ploys or tricks."

"I am not here to trick or lead Lucida on, and certainly not here to take advantage. My hopes as of right now is to no longer be a stranger and get to know Lucida more. Gods willing Lucida will have a friend in me and maybe something more some time down the road when she's ready. As of right now, now my interests are to get to know Lucida better and her family. In time I hope I can at least be a friend to her." Adelhard doesn't let the odds get him. He remains calm and collected.
