He lays down and makes himself comfortable in the frozen grass. (("Meh, not especially. Most people have to earn them, guess this one just likes you. Spirits are weird like that. My jamak's a bit of a flake, but he's helpful when I really need it."))

(("Mmm, spirits come in all forms in the Umbra. Most are neutral, many are hostile, a few are sympathetic to our cause. They can also be very finicky, so you have to be careful to stay on their good sides. Some are powerful... some are borderline sentient... kinda depends on the spirit. I generally regard them with caution and respect, and they usually treat me the same."))

(("Only when they get in our way. Small handful of them are alright... and we're mostly fighting for the same cause. Lots of kin still hold a grudge from the old times, though. Generally I just try to stay away from 'em."))

Mikhail curled his lips. (("And the humans? What place do they hold in this world?"))

Mikhail made a gruff sound. (("Indeed. At least dogs are known for loyalty.")) He nodded his head at the elder stiffly. (("Thank you for answering my questions. I'm sure I will have many more."))

He yawns, (("I have no doubts of that.")) He settles in to the grass and promptly takes a long midday nap.

Mikhail stays awake on watch as long as he can, but if sleep comes calling too loudly he won't fight it.
