<strong>Marco Xantelli</strong><br/><br/>"Oh, quite a few, quite a few," Marco said.<br/><br/>He listened to his son, the boy had a good head on his shoulders, though Marco sometimes wondered if he wasn't a bit naive. Hopefully he wasn't.<br/><br/>"I think you're right," Marco said, "Every now and then we get the picture. Though some of them pitifully exposed. There is a man here, an Irish agent, asking to many questions and snooping about while pretending to be a tourist. There are weapons through his luggage, items that no tourist would bring. I don't like to see family members die, but at the moment we're trying to send him back to his headquarters with an honest report of nothing to be suspicious about. A small village, a smuggling operation, some wealth, as long as he sees and hears only what we him to see and hear he'll be fine.  Now a good agent, no, the perfect undercover tourist, would probably be someone with another reason to be here besides the job. Someone who bring no connections that indicated anything about the work they were doing."<br/><br/>Marco opened a drawer in his desk and pulled out a leather bound copy of the Kama Sutra, he was in the mood for some deeper reading. He looked through the book as if disinterested in what Mikel had to say about this woman he wanted to help.<br/><br/>"So be it then, so be it, bring her here, you have my blessing. Perhaps you could finally take this one on as a slave. You know, acquiring a slave is an important outlet for your powers, you wouldn't want to go mad keeping so much power bottled up."<br/><br/>Marco coldly dismissed Mikel's offering of his hand as if he was mildly disapproving of something. Mostly Marco thought the young man was a bit soft and didn't want to be over affectionate. It disturbed him that Mikel hadn't officially taken a slave, though perhaps he needed more time. As Mikel went to leave Marco looked up from his book.<br/><br/>"It's okay to be a miracle worker, but remember that you are a Xantelli, be firm with your slaves and make sure they know you are master. Ultimately it is your choice though. At least I don't have to warn you about excess cruelty. Good luck with her."
