Unpleasent Questionsm

Though Mikhail had been caught regularly humming old love songs
and even older lullabies for days now, ones that Igor at least
would recognize, when he comes home for the evening meal there
is no tune on his lips. Though his eyes still laugh, it is a
look of bitter irony that rests there. Going into the kitchen
first to see if the old warrior was already at table, Mikhail
would ask one of the women sure to be there where he was if he
wasn't in sight.

Mikhail acknowledges them both with a nod, turns to the holy
corner and looks up at the icons there. Saint Elijah and Saint
Basil are gorgeous pieces, heavily gilded and made with very
costly ground stones that made them very vibrant. Mary above
them was smaller, humbler seeming and yet poignant for the
contrast. Mikhail says a quick prayer in his mother tongue, low
so it remained between him and the icons...him and the gods and
the Mother of God.
Turning back to the table he takes his seat, drinks deeply and
gives Igor an appraising look. "Your arm looks better Igor. But
I must ask you some things, that are less than pleasant table
conversation." Mikhail eats without paying much attention to the
food, though he usually complimented the women on their cooking.
Instead he was watching his old teacher.
"About that night...did you see anything before the attack,
anyone unusual about, watching maybe?" Mikhail had avoided the
topic until now, he'd seen the pain on Igor's face and much of
it wasn't from his injury.

* just mentioning that night had Emma out of the room in a flash
as Igor watched her leave"
No and it irritates me that missd something
* Slamming his fist on to the table as he held it there the
bandage gave a hint of reddness to it*

Mikhail hears Emma flee but doesn't look, he could apologize to
her later if need be. The anger and bitterness in Igor's voice
was unsurprising and Mikhail manages to pick his goblet up
before it can be spilled by the fist slammed into the heavy
table. "I've seen this murderer kill a man standing in front of
me Igor...I didn't see anything either. Still, we must find
them. People have begun to die and disappear around me old
friend." He pauses to drink and let the words sink in, glancing
at the red staining Igor's bandage.
"Another question, did you happen to find out what House the
women came from?" Perhaps Igor had wanted to be able to find
them again, after all he had very obviously been enjoying
them...deeply.

*the old man was frustrated and it showed in his face and his
actions*
do you think they are targeting you? an old enemy? a fellow
guardsman that doesn't like you?

Mikhail only nods at Igor's actual answer. "Od course not...and
don't talk such foolishness, you'll be dancing with your bearded
love long after I am gone Igor. There is little to be done in
such an ambush but hunt down the coward that set it." From the
way his eyes blaze that was precisely his intention.
"I may be targeted but I should be dead if they wanted me dead.
No this is a more sinister plot than just killing. First the man
I questioned, now those girls and nearly you. Also my old
patrolling partner has disaoeared, as has a woman I was seen to
be with in public...I think they are both dead but by
less...spectacular, means. So far though every trail I follow
leads to nothing. Arrows from Britannia and a possible
connection to Some bath house." Frustration shows on his face
too.

"I leave the household in very good hands Igor, I trust you to
keep it and our people safe" the tone was both possessive and
protective when he said 'our people', he'd been born to a higher
station after all.
The mention of his "friend" had him smile and it was like a fire
was lit in his face and eyes. "The Lady Obturus? Perhaps...she
does seem to show up where there is trouble. I doubt my clues
will mean much to her, but perhaps I'll go around and make it
known that I wish to speak with her...or she'll just show up at
the palace some night." An amused expression dances over his
face as if he were remembering happier days.
Turning back to his food, he eats and watches his teacher,
worried but doing his best to not show it.

(he was silent as he ate some more then drank back the entire
goblet in one gulp as Emma was quick to refill for him*
She might have an ear to someone who might help in your
investigation and she is your best lead to those in Power is she
not?
