[b][i]Mikhail Suburov-Tachibana[/i][/b] There was a reason Nico found it easy to think badly of other people, to think of them meeting accidents, dying, or otherwise being greivously harmed. And Mikhail was facing that reason. Still faintly glowing, the russian boy would face Alice, the stink from her increasing with the secretly arrogant lies she was telling. Mikhail didn't know everything, but she was wearing a mask, a mask that concealed something, and quite frankly, Nico would have a field day in his mind taking apart someone who would lie and use her feminine charms to try and gain the protection of people. Granted, Mikhail was obliged to protect those who were relatively innocent even if he didn't like them and they were only innocent in a few aspects of their lives. He would then say: "My name is Mikhail Suburov-Tachibana. What's your name?" He wasn't going to confront Alice about her lying just yet. "And, considering the amount of bullying that apparently goes on at this school, all right - but you will have to be on my left side; my friend, Nico, is going to be on my right." The Russian gestured to Nico. "Would that all right?" he said, his smile genuine. He was going to give her his protection, though he didn't trust her. [@Nanashi Ninanai] [@January] [@Scio]
