( Mika's expression, though more nuanced than emotive, suggests Solomon got it in one re: the lifestyle without the responsibilities. As far as Mika was concerned, Ferid just lay around plotting how to best torment people unfortunate enough to be in his sights, just for the fun of it.
For what it's worth, Mika has a uniquely obedient posture as Solomon guides him - and he's quick on the uptake. He's been watching people dance throughout the day, and while it's failed to interest him, it's like vaguely knowing the tune of a song you've heard on repeat. Solomon steps, and Mika follows in a close enough rhythm.
It's like the night where he didn't ask Solomon to slow down for him as Solomon flew ahead - he seems intent to find a way to follow him at his own pace, without lagging too far behind.
Once he judges himself better able to both follow Solomon's lead and talk, he speaks again: )
... You do talk like someone who'd enjoy their time here.
( This isn't a compliment, but he doesn't say it with the intent to be cruel - it's simply a factual remark. Solomon can pull off a snakeoil demeanor easy. )
