[quote=@banjoanjo] But that's just plain old ignorance, not bad intention or actual maliciousness. Stupidity isn't a sin, even if it's fuelled by arrogance. [/quote] [quote=@January] [@Letter Bee] Well, okay. If Mikhail is just jumping to all sorts of conclusions from what he smells off of Alice, fine. But I think what I'm wondering here is "does she even smell that bad or is Mikhail just jumping to conclusions so hard he's landed on another solar system?" If it's the second one, cool. [/quote] Ah, I see now. No, Alice doesn't smell that bad, and Mikhail was jumping to conclusions. However, let me clarify: He doesn't think that she's a criminal or that she committed any 'crime' except lying. Nor does he think she'll endanger people's lives at this point in time. However, she lied to him and Nico, is clearly attracted to Nico, and has lied to make herself attractive to Nico. That is where Mikhail begins to overreact.
