Very un-mad-scientist-like, he rubbed the back of his neck, and looked a mite bit sheepish. "Erm... I guess I should apologize for... this." He motioned to the burnt sections.

I'm afraid I'm rather inexperienced at all of this, but I will win for you, M'lady." He bowed again, and looked up at her. "I am but your humble Servant until this is all over. I will protect you - that is a given. What is it you would like of me to do, before this War commences?"
