Morning Formation (Pisan district. Justin)
By: Grumbles Date: April 11, 2018, 9:01 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Mikhail hadn't been seen down at headquarters for some time, let
alone during the day, yet there he was very early in the
morning. Though his eyes are a touch bloodshot he shows no other
sign of not having slept the night before and he carries the
weight of his armor easily. Mikhail was dressed and armed as
though he was going on duty, but he was loitering out front
waiting for Justin to show up for muster. While he waits Mikhail
would greet and speak casually with any of his fellows around,
cracking a joke here, offering (or listening) to advice about
horses or a fighting technique there...and listening to the
gossip. Even soldiers of elite organizations gossiped with one
another, that's how rumors flew around the city so fast amongst
the ranks after all.

status and the amountof women in his life. As he takes it al in
stride he does notice there was no Justin at Roll Call that day*

Mikhail happily gives as well as he gets and in spite of the
gory events of the night before he was in a fine and infectious
mood. When his old patrolling partner isn't at muster he asks a
few of the departing patrols if they had seen him or knew where
he lived...he keeps the concern from his face and laughs it off
as wanting to pay him back for a 'prank' that Justin had pulled.
If they don't know he'd approach one of the higher ranked
men...avoiding the officers unless he has no choice but to
approach one.

The mingled rumors left Mikhail wondering just what had happened
to his friend...nothing good he was sure, he didn't buy any of
the stories as what had really happened. Ultimately, having come
up against this wall of rumor, he starts walking. Mikhail was
vaguely heading towards the palace and thus his residence as he
thought over the problem. He'd never found out where Justin lay
his head at night, at least when he want in some prostitute's
bed, but even then he didn't know the man's preferred haunts.
Though distracted with thought Mikhail was absently looking
around as he walked, a habit slowly building from standing watch
so often. He had the arrow he'd pulled from his first witnessed
victim's skull with him and thinking about that exquisitely made
arrow turned his steps towards the market. It might be a long
shot but he was going to go talk with the bowyers and the arrow
makers, to see if any of them recognized the craftsmanship of
the arrow. He was in for one long shift tonight and he knew it.

*he began visiting several bowyers and Fletchers dureing that
afternoon always being struck down on anyone knowing who made it
but all agreeing it was the finest arrow they had ever seen.
Without leaving it with them for more they could not tell
Mikhail anything. There were still a few more but the day was
winding down and soon the night would come as would Duty*

As he only had the one arrow to show he declines the offers to
examine it closer, at least for the time being. All the while he
was appraising each craftsman, trying to decide which if any he
might later trust with keeping hold of the link to this killer
which he had.
As the day wore on and into dusk he tries his luck with one last
fletcher before setting his feet towards the Palace...grabbing
some food on his way, meat in flat bread with vegetables trying
to drip out of it. By the time the Palace was in sight he was
licking the last juices from his fingers and resigns himself to
the added toil of a long watch without the benefit of sleep.
Mounting the palace steps he heads to the guard post for muster,
quieter than usual.

*Muster was a quiet moment as the guards for the palace went to
their separate parts and began their long night. But the Last
Shop he visited seemed possibly promising as if he might know
something but was not sure. The Post was mostly a boring one but
it did provide the best view in the city for Sunrise and Sunset*

Mikhail had a long time to think about the uncertain fletcher
who he hadn't had time to press or cajole more information out
of. The night was long and after a spectacular sunrise Mikhail
trudges the short distance home...pausing at the gate to look at
the damaged and blood stained wood. Sighing Mikhail would go in
and to the kitchen, which likely had been set to rights from the
previous nights...festivities...to do his best to not fall
asleep in his porridge. He'd manage to tend to Borya briefly
before going upstairs to pass out...dead to the world as the sun
mounts higher and higher.
It would be late in the afternoon before Mikhail comes down
again, to check on Igor and let the man know he had a very
tentative trail to follow. "This killer has made a mistake my
friend, attacking this household will be his undoing." He
intended to head straight from his meal to the fletcher who
seemed to know more than he said, one of his thinner arm rings
was on over his hauberk, a possible incentive for the man.

*he was being tended to by the women of the house taking turns
checking on him between their other duties*
IS there anything in particular would you like for Evening Meal
Lord Mikhail?
