Mikhail had no idea if that level of tension was 'common' on that household, but he wasn't able to ignore it like Fatima and Artemis were doing. Due to his line of job and how he lived for years and years, he was incredibly sensitive to things like those and knew how to 'read the air' very well. His eyes were still the same of a minute ago, jumping from person to person. 

Surprisingly enough, when Lucivar was finished with the venomous words he turned to Mikhail himself, mentioning that seeing a Dea Al Mon in those parts were rare and asking what brought him there.

[color=6ecff6]"I heard rumors about a Black Widow with unparalleled abilities..."[/color] Mikhail replied, carefully observing Lucivar's reactions and movements as he approached him.

[color=6ecff6]"She seems to be the only one capable of treating my... condition."[/color] Mikhail finished, still incredibly alert. Despite his apparent calm and even though he was still sitting down at the table, if an experienced warrior took a closer look at his muscles, especially his legs, they would see that they were coiled like a snake, ready to move at the smallest sign of danger.

In that alert state, Mikhail couldn't help but to hear how the Eyrien brothers were describing Faeril... Only one more reason to not leave his guard down... But not even Mikhail was prepared to what would come next...

Without raising her voice not even once, Fatima, who also seemed to be tired of all that, proved that she was more than capable of dealing with the other males when she started using her power. Despite her soft and gentle voice, it was clear not only by the forced smile on her face that she was giving him a command. Both the way she talked and her presence made clear that she wouldn't admit anything but compliance to the order she had just gave. It was indeed surprising to someone as sweet as Fatima to take such a posture.

But maybe what surprised Mikhail the most was when she walked towards Mikhail. Almost if realizing how on edge he was despite his silence, without saying a word, she slipped on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and looking to his face for a moment. It wasn't necessary to use any type of power or even say anything. Mikhail almost immediately became completely stiff. He didn't knew how to react on that situation. How was he, who only touched others to kill, was supposed to react when she simply embraced him like that, looking at his face with such a calm and sweet expression?

Still sitting in his lap, Fatima proceeded to reprimand the other males. When she finally stood up and left his lap to speak with Lucivar was when Mikhail realized how much power and influence that woman already had over him... And he didn't like that not even one bit. She was by no means a bad person, she was actually one of the kindest woman he had ever met, even when she was mad. But still, old habits die hard and trusting others was a very difficult thing for Mikhail.
