Despite that dangerous aura, it was apparent that she had just woken up due to her clothes and her hair. As she looked to Mikhail with a pair of freezing blue eyes it became clear to Mikhail that he would have to thread very carefully. Somehow, he had no qualms about trusting Fatima, but that woman was an entirely different thing and yet, he would have to basically give her unrestricted access to his mind. Her words to Fatima made it not only incredibly clear that she was the 'queen' of that house, but also that she held significant authority over the peaceful and cheerful woman. Chastising her for inviting Mikhail without her permission, she was quick to send Fatima to answer the door, promising to talk more with her about doing things without her permission later. After dismissing Fatima, the woman turned her icy gaze to Mikhail once more, analyzing him before speaking. Mikhail's survival instinct was screaming for him to be on guard against that woman. He most certainly wasn't comfortable around her, especially without Fatima nearby to calm down his nerves. [color=6ecff6]"I apologize for arriving this early."[/color] Mikhail said, with a slight bow to the woman before answering her questions. [color=6ecff6]"Rumors about a powerful Black Widow who offers her services without asking questions about one's past. One that can erase an entire lifetime of memories, no matter how deep and strong they are, leaving absolutely nothing behind."[/color] Mikhail said, with a neutral expression and a serious tone, much more different from how he was speaking with Fatima earlier. [color=6ecff6]"I seek to get rid of fragmented memories from a life that isn't mine anymore."[/color] Mikhail said, without showing any emotion to the woman. [color=6ecff6]"Consequence from a failed attempt, these fragments now pierce my mind like thousand of needles. My wish is for them to be completely erased. They do not make sense to me as they do not belong to me... At least not anymore."[/color] Mikhail said, looking to the woman. [color=6ecff6]"I needed someone strong enough to erase these memories which other black widows weren't capable of erasing and at the same time someone whom I can trust my secrets."[/color] Mikhail said, looking directly to the woman's eyes. The way he was looking at her made it clear that the 'trust' he was referring to was something really serious. [color=6ecff6]"I've managed to save a decent amount of gold, but it it's still not enough to pay for your silence and your services, I can pay you with my services. I need only a name and basic information about the target."[/color] Mikhail said, carefully analyzing the woman's reactions.
