Marcus manages to tear his gaze away from the slightly-odd trappings of the room -- even if you're trying to compile a manual of every creature in the world, how can anyone read through<em>that</em>much paperwork? -- and focus on the professor.<br/><br/>"Marcus Kravelion, sir.  I've heard you're doing some interesting work here."  He offers a smile, although the professor doesn't seem too worried that a large man in full armor just walked into his lab.  Professor Mahogany, at least, looks rather more competent than Eric...not that that's saying much.
