"So then knight, since you're so willing to trust me I'll return the favor with everyone here as witness, my family is Auranium so naturally I grew up among them." He gave a small pause to let the statement sink in.

"I learned their magic first and my skill in those arts still outstrip my abilities with the Elements by far, I have no quarrel with your kind and a certain...familial disagreement would place me more on your side than theirs. As such do you want a basic illusion on Ravina, allowing her to move on her own, me to make us all look like her so decoys abundant, or shall I use all my remaining magic to place the best illusion I can upon her but then she's stuck having to keep some form of physical contact with me." He then turned to the girl he was talking about protecting, while he didn't understand royal protocol he figured as an equal she had a say.

"Of course Ravina if you have your own preference among those options please take your pick," it was at that point he realized that he was talking to a female and what he'd suggested, he couldn't keep his nervousness from showing.

"D-ddon't be mistaken, ma...my ability is real but I'm...not good with w-w-women, fami-ily thing." His speech had already begun to break, if she chose the final option, he'd definitely rash but he knew he already had a lot of explaining to do.
