[ Hmmm....Marik considers this, idly working a piece of tomato inside his cheek. He knows the benevolent thing to do is to insist they're free and clear, but Sylvan seems so sincere....and Marik honestly can't say he's ever had anybody come try to give him things he hasn't tricked them into giving him before.
Is he just so good, is he just so charismatic, that this happens anyway? Wow. He amazes himself. ]
If it eases your mind, I'll consider it. What would you suggest?
[When he's not brushed off again that they're even, Sylvan relaxes a little, gaze dipping away to regard his phone's screen. Or, rather, the blinking insertion point while the device waits for his input.
[His lips purse. He wasn't considering that he'd be asked whatever act to suggest. Rather, most people know something that they want. Does Marik want for things he can't give?
[Sylvan's cheeks burn a little, and hopefully it doesn't give the wrong impression.
[Most people want more than their money's worth.]
I rightly don't know.
I am, however, capable of many acts of service.
[He figures if Marik ever wants an illusion for something, he'll speak up.]
[Along with the message, he sends an image of it from the outside. It's a tower clustered within a rural town, easily dwarfing the other homes in vertical height alone.]
[ Huh, look at that! Marik is no stranger to unusual architecture, though most of his experiences have been....lacking in aesthetic. Also, subterranean.
Which means he's snapped right out of Schemer back into Oh My Gods Look At The Shiny. He has this issue. Or at least, he's been told it's an issue. It seems to have netted him a motorcycle collection so he's never perceived it as such. ]

I know it's a little strange-looking.
