[color=6ecff6]"Old habits die hard..."[/color] Mikhail replied as he heard Gennar. 

Truth be told, Mikhail was saying that not only due to the Viper Rats, but just as he said, it was already an old habit of his. Plus, the chance that Queen Melian had indeed sent someone after them was high... And the chance they might be more qualified than a common thug wasn't zero.

[color=6ecff6]"I do have a very light sleep, but I could set up a trap around the area we will rest using some wires I brought with me. Enough to wake me up if something gets nearby."[/color] Mikhail suggested to Gennar as he mentioned how deadly Viper Rats could be if they used their numbers.

Turning his attention towards Jandar, Faeril and Dareen, who were talking about their plan regarding sending Jandar and Dareen to the town, Mikhail nodded, agreeing with Faeril as she mentioned the merchant background. It was much safer than a noble one, as merchants weren't exactly bound by many of the social rules from high nobility. 

[color=6ecff6]"Don't worry too much, Dareen. Merchants aren't bound by many of the high nobility's social rules. It shouldn't be that hard. More often than not, merchants tend to be quite 'eccentric'."[/color] Mikhail said.

The moment Jandar mentioned Fatima, asking her to help them to think about how they would 'doll up' Dareen and the rest of the things related to the disguise, he nodded, agreeing with their choice.

[color=6ecff6]"Fatima is certainly much more versed in such matters than I am."[/color] He said, giving a few steps back and letting them discuss such things amongst themselves.

[color=6ecff6]"As I said previously, Faeril, I will fulfill any role assigned to me with the best of my abilities. If you wish me to remain here guarding you or if you want me to go with Jandar and Dareen, so be it."[/color] He finished, waiting to see if she had any particular job for him or if she would give him permission to do whatever he wanted.
