[color=6ecff6]"Not yet... Although seeing that Faeril is nowhere to be seen made me I wish had."[/color] Mikhail replied with anger on his voice as Jandar asked, still processing the words Mikhail had just said to them. [color=6ecff6]"He has been giving information about the group to a man called 'Ahmar'. It's safe to assume that much was revealed by Bellinar about us, seeing how close he was to Faeril..."[/color] he said with agitation and anger on his voice as Dareen asked why and to who did Bellinar sell them to. It was clear to anyone hearing him, the normally calm and cold Mikhail, of how angry that situation, being betrayed made him. [color=6ecff6]"According to what they were talking with each other, Bellinar was being paid for the information and the deal they had. While Ahmar, or better... his client, seems to have a... preference in taking Faeril alive, assassination wasn't out of the question if capturing her showed to be too difficult or impossible, being discussed multiple times in their conversation. It's still not certain if they have decided in taking her alive or not."[/color] he said, with a very serious tone, trying his best to control his emotions and temper. [color=6ecff6]"The motivation seems to be partially, if not completely, because of his gambling debts, which were mentioned by Ahmar himself."[/color] he finished, looking to the group with a serious expression. Even though his explanation was short, time wasn't something they had to spare right now, he could only hope such explanation would be enough to clear any doubts they might have regarding the veracity of his words. While Jandar's words, asking Mikhail if he and the rest of the group could deal with that issue without him, made Mikhail suspicious of him, the second Jandar explained his plans, he immediately understood and agreed with him. Securing an escape route would help them greatly if they managed to take Faeril back... but that was only [i]if[/i] they managed to get her back... [color=6ecff6]"The location is on a small bar on the edge of the town."[/color] Mikhail said to Jandar, nodding to him and agreeing with his words. [color=6ecff6]"There will be bloodshed once we arrive, so Fatima, the boy and the sceltie would definitely be safer with you."[/color] he said, with a cold tone and grim expression before he turned to Gennar and Denvar. [color=6ecff6]"Out of respect, I will give you both a chance to deal with Bellinar yourselves, otherwise I wont hesitate in killing him on sight."[/color] he said, his voice and expression making it clear that he wasn't bluffing or saying those words in vain. When Fatima, Dunny and Thom started to discuss about who would go with Mikhail and the rest and who would stay though, Mikhail almost immediately looked, almost hissing at them. [color=6ecff6]"I will do this alone if I have to. We are not going there to talk. [i]I am not going there to talk[/i], I don't want anyone unnecessarily putting themselves on risk."[/color] Mikhail said with a serious, cold tone before he looked to the Eyrien brothers, Dareen and now, Dunny. [color=6ecff6]"We need to go now. If we lose Faeril now and Ahmar takes her away somewhere else, we won't be able to track them down again."[/color] he finished, impatient to get going as he looked to the rest of the group that would go with him.
