Michail calls out

"Savvas my man, sit down you are making a fool of yourself. This 'ere dagger entertains me when I am angry, perhaps thou should find a similar hobbey? Make no mistake, I do not support Makedonis. I will not go as far as to say I despise him, but safe to say I would choose Lucifer himself before Makedonis. You have proven in the past to be an honourable man Savvas. As a relative independant party here, owing no allegiance to any major house, I can say that the cause of the Empire would most likely be served by Savvas, no disrespect to Aleskios intended. Too bad this is all I have to say, my mind has been distracted as of late, my chariot team grows lazy."

Michail has a sly grin over his face, while cleaning his nails with his now ever present dagger.
