Something which was highly unlikely, having in mind how hard it was being trying to hide from her. Interestingly enough, after giving her brief input, Fatima stated her desire to retire herself to rest, although she did request Sybl's presence with her, which was a bit strange. Turning his attention towards Saetan as he started speaking about the band around his throat, Mikhail quickly had his suspicions confirmed. Tricking someone like Dorothea would be incredibly difficult, especially on this particular situation, seeing how thorough she was regarding Saetan. [color=6ecff6]"I didn't think it would be simple... But it has far exceeded my expectations how complicated the situation we are in."[/color] he said, sighing. [color=6ecff6]"Dorothea was... quite thorough in her small 'leash'. I honestly have no idea on how to bypass it. But again, I am not the one taking any decisions."[/color] he said, shaking his head. Something about the way he formulated that phrase would make others question themselves if Mikhail would really be bothered by such genocide though... With their small 'reunion' being mostly over after Denvar's closing words, Mikhail was about to go rest himself, until he noticed something that drew his attention. A noticeable volume on Bellinar's back pocket which wasn't there before. Due to the types of people he worked with, Mikhail knew very well that money almost always was trouble. Especially if one didn't know it's origins. Knowing that a direct confrontation would lead nowhere with the lack of proof and knowledge he had right now, Mikhail decided to postpone his rest, waiting a bit before going out himself and using his sight shield, following Bellinar to keep an eye on him.
