Micolash tsks. "She speaks the world of you, and yet you feign ignorance? Goodness, but if only you knew how much effort she has poured into finding you! She speaks of you so terribly highly."
His bony fingers are still vice-like in their grip, his eyes still wide with fervor, his smile still sickly and forced. The excitement he'd felt when he first heard of this unique breed of beast, one who retains the ability to change one way or the other, to keep his faculties intact? Oh, but it bubbles back up with such intensity, such elation! This situation is tremendous to his research, to the nature of the Beast Plague! What differences and developments can be found? What can be replicated and sussed regarding the dire transformation of man to animal? And why such a creature as a rodent? That's a new one!
But. Miraculously? Something manages to pierce the frenzy Micolash is gripped by. The man demanded he be let go. And while courtesy's priorities drop dramatically when fresh Insight is afoot....The scholar thinks of Abysa. His caretaker since finding the Nexus. How would he react if he found Micolash like this? Clutching a strange man against his will and comfort? Demanding things of him?
Even if his own morality is stunted enough that this kindness only comes in such a roundabout way, it's still a small blessing that the caged man hesitates... then loosens his grip fractionally. And then finally opens his hands fully, releasing Sherlock's forearm. Takes a step back. Arms still held in the same position, face still locked in that unsettling glee.
"...She is looking for you, you know," he eventually murmurs, unblinking. "She wanted me to take you to her, were you to be found..."
RP with Micolash: goes from 0 to 60 in weird and creepy at the slightest drop
