Mikhail looks thoughtful for a moment, rips a particularly juicy
section of meat off his skewer so that juices dribble down into
his beard, and replies while chewing. "I'm not sure you're
civilized enough for their company" he manages a deadpan face
save for his eyes.
Swallowing and wiping the juice across the maille cuff of his
hauberk Mikhail cheerily adds "but if the ice maiden proves to
be great trouble I'll be sure to make the proper
introulductions..." laughter was bubbling in his gut but hadn't
quite made it out yet.

*as they stood chatting and eating they both caught glimpse of
an Officer coming up the road towards them. Justin nudged
Mikhail as they awaited his arrival*
What did you do?
*he said quietly to Mikhail*

Mikhail spots the officer and becomes very business like about
wolfing down his food. He pauses only long enough to speak
sidelong to Justin "so many things, the question is what has he
heard about?" It was a casual remark, but he was keeping a sharp
eye out for the approaching officer.
Assuming the man draws near, Mikhail dips his head respectfully,
or follows Justin's example of salute. By then he'd finished his
food and cast the skewer aside someplace convenient.

*he salutes back then looks to Mikhail*
Report to the Commander Immediately. He is at the Palace
*then to Justin*
Continue your patrol

"Yes sir" he steps back a pace, murmurs "watch yourself" to
Justin as he passes, and turns sharply back the way they had
come. He would walk quickly back to the stables at the
headquarters to fetch Borya, he may have some trouble finding
someplace to leave the horse near the palace but speed seemed
necessary and the big horse could eat the ground faster than his
long stride.
If he half to he'd find the nearest inn and pay for Borya to be
stabled before hurrying on towards the palace. It wasn't until
he was within sight of the main entranced that Mikhail slows,
walking composedly and with most of his usual swagger as he
makes for the entry wardens to announce himself and to ask where
his Commander could be found within. His heart beats fast in the
cage of his chest, but Mikhail seems calm, even still amused now
as he makes for what doom he did not know.

Very Prompt arrival Mikhail

Mikhail stands at attention and salutes the Commander upon
coming into his presence. "Haste seemed appropriate Commander."
Now there is no smartassery or friendly banter in his voice,
though it is still a pleasing thing to the ear. Something
smolders in the youth's eyes, whether it was suppressed
amusement or something more hot tempered was difficult to read.

This was an unexpected question, at least given what he'd
guessed he was called here for. Mikhail hesitates only briefly
for the surprise. "To honor family tradition and to carve a
worthy place into the world for the continuance of my
line...should God see fit for it to continue." It was a blunt
and unflippant answer coming from him.

*he holds up a piece of rolled parchment in his hand*
You have someone who seems to think highly of you here in this
city. . .Are you aware of that?
*his strength was gazing down upon MIkhail*
