Summary: Slider gets payment for helping Prince Jerrick out as promised but eventually he does speak of more finer things. | |||||||
|
There is a small but impressive vessel that has escorted the princess of the Lion here, she came as soon as Jerrick wrote her of his return.. He will wait for her, should he get back before she dose. The trip from the Islands to the Rivers was a fairly easy chore for the crew.
Marcus is not an impressive individual , he wears what he wants most times, he is a man of the woods. Even though he does have and impressive looking cloak on his shoulders, yet not fancy but he wears it proudly. He had visited his old place, still his and he will keep it so, for now. As the ship arrives he smiles as he was promised payment and so now is a good time for that. So now he walks to the harbor, its right there and heads to the ship, easy to spot indeed.
Zuhur moves ashore when she sees Marcus "I got word that people were headed back, I brought you your money personally." she calls as she looks to him moving with her golden cloak moving behind her. She casually moves with a guard who holds a small treasure chest.
Marcus does make himself known and yet as the Princess approaches he bows deeply and then stands straight."Princess Zuhur, pleasure. My apologies for but using proper etiquette from your land, though I will in time rectify that soon."
Zuhur smiles softly as she inclines her head to him "your payment is here Marcus.. how was your journey?" she asks as the Guard moves to set the chest down, its small no bigger then two hands wide, and filled with gold coin.
Marcus smiles brightly and yet he does not reach for it yet." The journey was satisfactory and yet..." he frowns slightly."Princess, do you love Prince Jerrick?" oh it was bold and probably will make her upset with him but some Princesses need to be told."I mean not to overstep but do you truly know him?" though he looks around, like always, ready to take defensive actions. ?

Zuhur also looks about then she looks back to Marcus "I fell hard, yes, but there has been troubling events recently, like his claim of my maid.. she is now his Slave.. but why do you ask?"
Marcus looks at her and blinks, obviously he had not heard of that."I see, well. He will not be faithful to you, I have seen him and heard him speak to other another woman when a wants to do more than talk." he looks at the chest again and then back to her."Also heard from a lady that he had intentions of possibly doing more with her. It is too much to the point, my apologies but I'm not one to talk to much for what must he said. I say this to you because you came with the payment, hence your trustworthy, hence I'm saying this freely to you." Now he waits, sees her reaction and once again gets ready.
Zuhur frowns and nods "this task was for him to be courting, and yet... he has taken my personal servant instead of a slave. And these reports?" she looks to him "Intent more then just being a flirtative prince?" She pauses, then looking to the man her eyes look a bit hurt but almost expecting such news. "thank you for this free information I am in debt to you".
Marcus looks to her, he knows he had hurt her but words had to be spoken." Your Prince does not like me much, that is obvious, his word will say I'm a scum or someone to be taught a lesson. Do as you wish but my name will be cursed by him, that I know. I am fine with that, he will not see me again." then he bows his head slowly."Perhaps a letter from said lady may show my words truth?"
Zuhur nods "please and ...if they worry of ire just have them omit their family name. These actions are serious.. and I thank you for risking yourself in telling me." she pauses then she moves back a step "can I get this letter before I leave?"
Marcus looks at her, he eyes her for a bit longer and then nods slowly." I'll do my best to get it to you, I'll have to convince her that her name will not he used but we shall see, she may not like the Prince and may do so easily." then he bows his head again." Now, I best get going if I'm to get that letter back to you before you leave." with that he does take the chest but waits to be dismissed.
Zuhur nods "of course, Sir, take your gold and I will see you on the morrow."
