"You know, I was going to have you beheaded and display it as a warning to never touch my property ever again but I think I might just change my mind," why waste a perfectly good doctor? If he could help, let him help. That was exceptionally important. But he couldn't just let such a crime to without punishment. That part was already set in stone, this doctor would been to be punished but the severity would depend on just how useful he could prove to be. Marcus crouched down so he could see the Doctor better, curiosity obvious on his face.

"If you're such a good doctor and you're successful at your job, why did you try to steal from me? Surely you don't need the money," And if he did, why not seek employment? Why throw his life away to piss off Marcus of all men? "If you're lying or do lie to me, be assured that I can make you long for an execution."
