Francis nodded his head, he was impressed. For someone so young it was quite an achievement. Francis remembered when he was that age, he was not as studious or as overachieving as he would have liked. It did somewhat warm his heart that someone so young was willing to put in so much effort into being the best in the field of what they did. He smiled.
"I wouldn't worry," Francis said, speaking somewhat slower than normal, to make sure Marcus caught every word without much too much struggle. "I'm not entirely sure what you were asked here for either. Though, I am led to believe that you and I will be working together. I don't think I've been introduced to you yet have I? I'm Francis Darling, physics professor here at the university. I'm sure that when the Dean comes back, from wherever it is getting this tea from, he will explain it in a somewhat coherent manner."
As Francis said that the door to the office opened again and the Dean stepped inside. In his hands were a plate of biscuits and a cup of tea. He placed the tea in front of Francis and the biscuits on his desk between all three of them.
"There you are," he said cheerily. Smiling at both Francis and Marcus. "Shall we begin?"
