Micolash, arms still crossed, scrunches up his face when his cage's top is knocked on. Doooon't. And his admonishment to not be such a Grumpy Gus only gets the scholar to huff. Whatever, you're not my mom.

Now when the supposed Kin is speaking to him low and privately, however, does his demeanour loosen just slightly. Now appearing mollified instead, Micolash's frown falls and his eyes do the same, looking down at the inside of his metal collar instead. "She doesn't know anymore where this is than I do. I used the bracelet you gave me." He holds up his wrist to pull down his cuff to show it. "Why? Do you think she will mean you harm...?" Because Micolash would have just as much a problem with that as Abysa would! And the Kin is clearly better at reading people and emotions than he is.
