As if aware of Sam's thoughts, a glare worked over T'challa's features, very unamused by the sheer possibilities of what the other man might be considering. "No sex toys," he reinforced, making sure to have Sam look at him and see how seriously he meant it. "The present is supposed to show your feelings." Emotional ones and not the physical.

As for the panther spirit, well, Sam would be in for a shock. "It's a literal manifestation of the spirit within. You will encounter it along me to see if you're worthy of bonding with me. The spirit can see and sense all." Probably not the most reassuring thing in the world.

"I am an actual adult, you know," Sam retorted dryly. "I'm not going to embarrass you in front of your entire country at our engagement party, even if I am a boorish Westerner." He was well aware of what those opposed to his presence in the country - not to mention his relationship with the king - thought about him, and he wasn't going to give them any ammunition to use against T'Challa.

"What if I'm not worthy?" Sam thought he was, but the panther spirit might have other opinions. It might not like foreigners, for one thing - particularly not foreigners who wanted to marry the king, and especially when they had no royal background. (Yeah, he'd heard some stories about Ororo.)

There were a few comments he could say but decided against them in the end because he picked up on Sam's nerves about the entire situation. Marrying into a royal bloodline would be difficult but even more so for one resting in Wakanda. The country held such deep connections and an overwhelming pride for tradition. Breaking such things were almost unheard of until more recent times.

He understood the nerves, then, and reached out to cup Sam's cheek lightly. "The panther spirit will view your heart and what your intentions are. I do not believe you will have an issue," he explained with a significant look. "Unless you have something you wish to reveal to me."

Not giving Sam much of a chance to answer, he moved to grab for a few very, very thick binders. "You will need to read through these for the ceremony protocols."
