Headquarters . . . Palace Gate
By: Grumbles Date: March 21, 2018, 1:01 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Mikhail rode down to the headquarters of the Varangian Guard in
the darkest hours of the night. Clad for duty, oil golden maille
glimmers faintly in the torch light as Borya carries him.
Dismounting he nods to any of the other guardsmen around, and
greets any he knew by name as he hands Borya off to one of the
stable boys. Still his mystery arrow was carried with him, a
constant reminder of the danger about him and the dark that
prowled the streets.
Mikhail showed no outward sign of the deep bruising and welts he
bore after the nights events, showing weakness around his fellow
Guardsmen was ill advised and he was fairly used to the abuse of
sword practice. Entering the building he makes for the notice
board, checking it over for anything of interest, but really he
was there to confirm his post for the day...and to get a feel
for the pulse of headquarters towards him. He was expecting
trouble and refused to run from it...but even if all seemed well
he knew that could change in the coming days, he may not have
been reported yet.

Mikhail was glad that the Roman was assigned with him again and
chuckled at the question. "No but I went for richer fare last
night, chasing after Ladies instead of bath house girls." He
watches for a reaction as they head for the stables, unless
theirs was to be a foot patrol.
"One I even got a name from, though she was chaste with her
kisses."

Mikhail looks sidelong at his patrol-mate "one of them did, a
Lady Obturus...her first name may be too pure for your ears" he
smirks and looks around them before going on to describe the
blonde beauty from the Mese.
"Her eyes were so piercing that I've taken to thinking of her as
an ice maiden. Our encounter was brief, but she claimed to know
our Commander. I wasn't in uniform and am inclined to believe
her." Once he'd stopped describing the woman he'd started paying
more mind to what was around him and so he had to look back at
Justin to see any reaction.

Damn. . Just remember us little guys when you move up in rank.
. They both sound nice. . .
* He was a bit jealous just hearing about them as they walked*
If she does hope it's a good word not like he attacked me

The tinge of jealousy made Mikhail laugh "dont worry Justin, all
you have to do is make a fool of yourself and seem to not care
if you are rejected and you'll have pretty ladies on your arm
too." His knee throbs particularly badly and he adds "just try
to pick one with less interest in your work, unless you like
pain of course."
Without explaining Mikhail nods "yes, at best it'll be a good
word that the Commander sees through and I'll get a lecture
about flirting with my betters." That idea at least amused him.
Walking along, arms loose at his sides and casually chatting an
observer might think he was just out for a stroll with a
friend...heavily armed and armored...but Mikhail was actually
looking around for any trouble they might get into.

Mikhail responds quickly enough "so long as you're paying, I'll
take one of those" he points at a skewer of lamb and
vegetabless. "Dionysus...he had something to do with wine yes?"
It was a vague idea in his head, his stories came from a far
different place.
A smirk would cross his face after he had taken a chunk of flesh
off of his skewer...waiting until it was paid for of
course..."if you must know, I dont get them to drink heavily
either."
