He noticed the girl approaching him and turned his eyes to her. It was his instincts as a trader and his soldiers discipline that served him here, he new better than to let his eyes wonder and he forced himself to keep focus on her father for the moment while she spoke. He smiled warmly at her and then answered her question. "What assurances can a humble solider give, when any good father might not consider an entire legion enough for his daughter. I am but a humble solider. I have traveled far and seen many things, but I have yet to discover the secret to immortality, so the only assurance I can give is my own life. My word is my bond after all, and by all the Gods I can promise that I would give up my own life before failing in my duties, and if I should ever fail then may all the Gods from here to Baghdad come for my head." He bowed his head to the Senator and then listened to her next question attentively. He let out a jovial, exaggerated laugh at the question, to make a point at how trivial it was to him. "I was once a guard on the Caravans of a merchant queen of Anatolia. and several times I have had the pleasure of being Bodyguard to Persian Princes daughter, or an Arab traders wife. And in my adventures in those journeys, never was my conduct called into question towards them. I served at their beckon call because that was my employ."
