[b][I]Mikhail Chekhov[/i][/b]

It only took one lecture from Ashcroft before Mikhail was on the verge of emotional collapse once more. [i]Mis-educated... Unreliable... A powderkeg who is one step away from Juvenile Detention - What does that bastard think he is?![/i] 

Mikhail did not like that, being held powerless by an [i]adult[/i] in authority who had a talent for tearing into what was left of vulnerable people's composure and self-worth. [I]What a smug prick![/i] he thought, [i]And the veiled references to the losses of the Russian people and their supposed 'backwardness' were something he knew I'd get![/i] Driven into a mixture of anger and despair at this, Mikhail was not paying attention.

And so when he crashed into [i]yet another[/i] student, possibly sending the both of them tumbling down on the floor, the Russian lost his patience. Snarling at Alistair's prone form, he got up and readied a punch, his right fist speeding full-force towards the young man's nose -

Only to stop once Mikhail got a good look at the (presumably) distressed guy's face. Mikhail's first thoughts were, [i]Wow, he's sorta cute.[/i] Still frowning, shifting his stance to stand up once more, Mikhail offers his hand out to help Alistair up, saying, [b]"Oi, babyface, I nearly socked you for a moment for bumping into me, so watch where you're going!"[/b]

He gave the other young man a glance, a thorough scan of that face and eyes, and concluded, [I]There's something on his mind.[/i] So if Alistair accepted the hand-up, Mikhail would ask less rudely than before, [b]"Why weren't you paying attention anyway? Something weighing down your mind?"[/b] 

If Alistair didn't accept the hand-up and chose to get back up by himself, Mikhail will decide to phrase it more rudely and say, [b]"What was bugging you so much that you had to bump into innocent students in the halls, anyway?!"[/b] Note that again, this was only if Mikhail didn't accept the hand-up. Either way, Mikhail would continue.

[b]"Anyway, my name is Mikhail. Mikhail Chekhov. If you want to make it up to me, go buy me some... Pie. Not Rubharb, that sh - stuff is gross."[/b]
