Perhaps he had been too quick to judge her as being harmless... She definitely knew how to handle the situation. He would be sure to keep an eye out for her for the duration of his stay. She was undoubtedly a kind woman, as it became evident for Mikhail just a few seconds after her 'outburst'. Fatima herself apparently didn't liked to act like that. Mikhail couldn't help but to silently wonder how Fatima, such a kind and sweet woman kept those who lived in that house in control. But despite Fatima's efforts, the peace she had created soon vanished once more when Gen turned to Mikhail, snarling to him after he replied to Lucivar's question. The second Gen summoned his warblade, Mikhail's hand instinctively grasped the hilt of one of the twin daggers while getting ready to use his threads. There was no room to discussion anymore. It was the second time someone had shown a weapon in his presence and his instincts were speaking too loud for him to ignore. Mikhail's eyes were cold and penetrating, showing an almost unsettling calm as he stood up from the chair, his muscles immediately tensing up. Deep down inside, Mikhail was almost feeling guilty for Fatima and all the effort she had wasted in order to keep things calm, but in his own defense, he was simply reacting to the changes in the atmosphere, as he not even once had displayed hostility to any other of those in the room and instead, was the one who was clearly being threatened. Fortunately for all those present, Mikhail's previous question regarding how Fatima was able to live in that house would be answered in just a moment as Faeril arrived on the kitchen, looking to Gen with an icy stare that was incredibly similar to Mikhail's own stare, immediately making Gen unsummon his blade and proceeded to scold her for waking up too soon. Despite Faeril's faint and obviously tired voice, the moment she opened her mouth again, Gen immediately stopped speaking, quietly listening to Faeril. Surprisingly enough, the one that Mikhail could understand better on that house was the one that the others described as being the most dangerous. Despite Fatima's kindness and sweetness, Mikhail still couldn't understand her actions. But he could clearly understand how Faeril acted. She might be dangerous, but maybe it was exactly because of that fact that Mikhail could understand her actions to some extent. So far, she shown herself to be highly professional, including not asking any questions about Mikhail's past. Not only that but he had been extremely vulnerable when she was treating him and yet, she shown herself to be trustworthy. [color=6ecff6]"Fatima, once again, I'm grateful for your hospitality and your kindness. I had honestly almost forgotten how sweet the word 'friend' sounds. I must also apologize myself. My presence here apparently caused quite a... commotion."[/color] Mikhail said, with a smile and a discreet bow towards Fatima, apologizing himself to her despite the fact that he did nothing nor spoke anything wrong. [color=6ecff6]"Faeril, as we discussed previously, I always keep my word and I will repay for the treatment in any way I can."[/color] Mikhail said, looking to Faeril and nodding respectfully towards her, silently telling her that he would return and she didn't need to be worried about him simply disappearing before he turned to the rest. [color=6ecff6]"That being said, even though I would definitely like to stay a bit more, I'm afraid I must leave. Just as Lucivar said, Bloodshed is indeed unavoidable if things continue like this."[/color] Mikhail said, with cold, penetrating eyes looking to the Eyriens in particular. [color=6ecff6]"I highly advise against trying to stop me. Weapons have already been drawn two times in my presence and pointed towards me despite my clearly non-hostile intentions. I came here only to have my 'condition' treated and nothing more. There is no need for unnecessary bloodshed."[/color] Mikhail continued, with clear predatory eyes as he walked towards the door.
