Whether by sheer luck or due to the guards' incompetence, the group somehow was able to get out of the town without many issues. Once out of town, Mikhail stopped using his sight shield and walking as a shadow to be together with the group. Despite everything that had happened, other than a few bruises, everyone was perfectly fine. Unfortunately, the black jeweled and the queen probably knew of their presence... What they would do with that information though, was something they would only find out later...

[color=6ecff6]"SaDiablo... Laska and Dorothea..."[/color] Mikhail muttered, repeating the name of the black jeweled man they met on the city and the queen he was apparently bound to and listened with a serious expression as Jandar said that Dorothea could have a hand on that. Even though Mikhail had his own areas of expertise, he wasn't well versed at all in politics, something Jandar and the others seemed to be. 

"[color=6ecff6]I may not know much about politics, but I know enough to say that SaDiablo isn't someone we can trust blindly... If Dorothea really has a hand in all this, then Laska and by extension, SaDiablo are as much of a threat to us as she is."[/color] Mikhail said with a serious tone.

[color=6ecff6]"That said... I can see your point, Jandar... There are still a lot of uncertainties in all this. If SaDiablo was really being honest, then he can be a powerful ally... But he is still bound to Laska. We also aren't sure if Laska is different from Dorothea or not..."[/color] Mikhail finished, as he approached the fire, looking at it intensely almost as if he was searching for answers in the burning embers.

[color=6ecff6]"..."[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"You are far too good, innocent and sweet of a person, Fatima."[/color] Mikhail said in a low tone after a few minutes of silence, still standing near the fire and Fatima.

[color=6ecff6]"This is, by no means a bad thing but... be careful. People can and will use this against you if you're not careful."[/color] Mikhail finished, as he resumed looking to the fire. He knew he had treated Fatima a bit harshly a few times before on tense situations and was feeling a bit guilty about it... Despite his awkward manner to try and show that to her.
