"Yes that could be a problem, especially with that Greek style
bath..." Mikhail rests one hand on his hip and the other on the
pommel of his sword. "Still, we can close off some of the rooms
and hire a few women to run the place...under your care of
course. We should have enough from Kiev still for that, we'll
just have to be careful until I can find us some more coin." For
once he sounded a little glum too, he was thinking of how
spending nights in the House of Turquoise would not be such a
regular enjoyment.
Soon enough he grins though "just think Igor, you'll have more
than my ugly face to keep you company soon. Lets find rooms for
ourselves and get our things shifted, then I'll go make
inquiries about staff and bring some food back that we may feast
in our new kitchen together."

*the room upstairs were for sleeping and all there was one that
was bigger then his whole place he moved out of with a large
private bathe in it the rest of the rooms where of the same
size. The kitchen was bare but was ready to be used minus food
and wood for the fire*
Where do you plan on inquireing for something like that?

Mikhail actually whistles at the imposing size of the master
bedroom "this one we should close up for the time being...I'll
take the room nearest the stairs." It was partially so his
coming and going at night would disturb his teacher and friend
less often and so in case of an attack he would be that much
closer to the fray.
Mikhail scowls at the question, wrecking his memory for any
information that may have been posted at headquarters concerning
such people as would be suitable for staff. Back in Kiev he
would have known who to go too, here he wasn't so sure. "If
nothing else presents itself surely this city has enough poor
folk who can none the less labor. If I must I'll find workers on
the street." It wasn't his first option, but he would do what he
must. "You of course will have a say in the staff, you will be
dealing with them more than I, they have put me on night
duties."

As you wish
*he sighed seeing the size of the place*
I will start trying to find people to work here you might as
well get your stuff set up and ready for your first shift at a
very exclusive location at the Palace. First impressions
*Igor went about unpacking things in there new place since the
porters put everything just inside the gate*

Mikhail insisted on helping, at least hauling his own things
upstairs. "Exclusive place like the palace...you mean someplace
mind numbingly boring, standing at attention for hours on
end..." he grins, he was trying to cheer the older man up some.
Still, he was oddly excited about what he expects will be an
unlively duty and soon enough he was spot cleaning his maille,
polishing his weapons, and even scouring any blemish from his
tabard.
Though sleeping during the day was likely to be difficult,
Mikhail bathes and promptly tries to sleep once his things are
as prepared as he could make them.
Assuming no more than his own restlessness makes him rise,
Mikhail would rise in good time to clean himself again before
arraying himself in his gear of war and the tabard of the Guard.
He leaves the assassin's arrow behind in his room and sets out
to find Igor before he leaves. Mikhail had added a dagger next
to his sword sheath and was impeccably well groomed, but
otherwise looked much as he usually does when he goes on patrol.

Mikhail snorts "good luck finding people to work here...try not
to anger too many pimps asking their girls to do our laundry." A
toothy grin and he was gone, with just enough time to maybe find
a food vendor to put something in his stomach (carefully lest he
stain his tabard) before reporting to the palace.
He had no idea where he was going within, so far he's only seen
the guard house at the gate and so he makes for that to report
in.

*when he arrives at the Guard house he sees a number of men all
physically impressive as Mikhail steps in line and the man in
charge sends out assignments giving Mikhail the Steps into the
Palace as other look to him as if sizing him up and down*

In the company of warriors Mikhail was used to being sized up
and he looks each that will in the eye. He wad also sizing the
men up as they did to him, though he was of a height or just
shorter than many, he felt like he was back amongst his
people...comparatively skinny. Once he had his assignment he
drifted out after the others, watching and listening intently.
Outside he takes up a position on the stairs, watching to see
who else would be guarding them and sizing them up more intently
than he had the others. Still, he was there to guard the palace,
not just get the measure of the other men who did so, and as
such his eyes are soon looking outward with the fire light at
his back.

*there were plenty of people comeing and going as he started his
shift as the evening wore on less and less people entered and
left until it seem like no one was coming up the steps to reach
the gate for entrance. While it was open all night there seemed
to be no traffic coming to the gate. The City looked beautiful
with the flickering torches about it giving an eerily beautiful
sight about it*
