"Oh, you will. We'll practice before we start a battle that matters, and...I believe in you and your team. Your team has so much power and potential."

Hm...maybe another tactic? He could recruit the team in his effort to bolster Marik. With that in mind, he tries to catch Chenzira's eye and smile.
