Mikhail doesn't argue the point but differs to the women on the
point of etiquette and continues on to the icon merchant. "I
confess I had it enlarged before journeying for the city, fully
confident I would be accepted into the Guard and so you see my
head was already quite swollen." There is more a smirk than a
smile on his face. "As for hunting you Lady Obturus...as much
fun as dangerous game is, I prefer to return from a hunt with
all my limbs." She was far more dangerous than she appeared at
first blush, it was part of his fondness for her.
As the icon merchant comes into view Mikhail grins "oh good, the
house has been rather bare without icons in the holy corner.
Have you this tradition here?" He asks the question of both
women, looking between them.

* the merchant looked about and brought out a few*
Will these be right my Lord
* The vendor asked as another guard arrived handing him scrolled
parchment then left*
Special orders
*Philomena asked softly*

She pokes his ribs
"Mikhail Vladimirovich...do I look to be the type of woman who
would tear off limbs? Surely you would agree that I am not so
dangerous as that. In fact, my being a threat may be completely
in your mind. Prey is not the only object one may hunt."
She let him think about that last statment until he spied the
merchant. She giggled at his seeming joy in finding it.
"I do not kow about a traditional corner .... My father is quite
godly, he intalled a chapel at my dwelling. But a corner sounds
much better..."
She watched him begin to shop with a small smile..

Mikhail grunts as Amaris pokes his ribs, mostly to cover that
she'd found a ticklish spot in so doing. With mock solemnity he
looks down at the lady "I have seen you grin Am...Lady Obturus,
I do believe limb removal could well be in your purview with
those beautiful teeth of yours." He could never keep his eyes
from giving away his inner laughter, otherwise his face was a
deadpan mask as he says this.
"That was quite the gift to build you a chapel...of course we
have churches in Rus but every izba has a holy corner where the
people keep their icons."
Then they were in the stall and he eagerly looks over the icons.
Mikhail points to one of the Virgin Mary "that one...do you have
any of Saint Elijah or Saint Basil as well?"
When his fellow Guard showed up Mikhail greets him warmly, takes
the scroll and mutters in his own tongue. He was hoping that the
scroll was written in Greek and not Latin. Looking at the seal,
he breaks it and starts reading...slowly...unless of course it
was in Latin in which case he just scowls.

*the scroll explained the change in days off her would have the
next two days off before a month long stretch*
Good..... or bad news?
*Philomena asked him*
I do have a question Lord Mikhail. . . are not Icons a form of
Idol Worship?

Amaris tried not to laugh, and in doing some made an odd
squeak...then coughed to cover it out of decorum. She was trying
very hard not to smirk as well.
"That is an excellent question Philomena. What do you say to
that Mikhail?"

Mikhail's eyes plod along through the letters for a time before
he rolls the scroll back up. "It appears that I have tonight and
tomorrow off duty and they will be the last for some time.
Strange really, I dont know why this couldn't wait until I
turned up tonight." He shrugs off the oddity and looks down at
Amaris with a Look of almost brotherly annoyance over her half
hidden laughter.
"I am no lord in this land Philomena, as for idol worship...no,
icons are reminders, tools for us mere mortals to use to connect
to the saints and sometimes for them to grant us blessings, such
as protection from unholy things."
Looking up from the women around him, Mikhail looks at the
merchant with barely patient expectation. "I have good silver
for your wares...do you have the icons I seek?"

She looks up at him, it was quite interesting to see him
annoyed. She was beginning to wonder if there were anything that
could shake him from his jovial nature. She slid her arm around
his waist
"Don't be upset. Now you have two nights free. You can spend
tonight charming Philomena...and tomorrow night I will come to
your house and you can teach me how to pull a bow. Oh, and I
will bring you a housewarming gift as well..something I am sure
you cannot find in Constanople...or at least I have never found
here."
She smiled cheerfully up at him.

Amaris studied her nails a moment while barely concealing a
smirk
"Suit yourself girl, I lose nothing either way."
"She looked back up at Mikhail..
"If this merchant does not have what you want I will find one
that does and let you know tomorrow."
