Mikhail has absolute faith in the Fatui's work, scheming different ways to use the situation on hand to manipulate things in their favor. He is annoyed at Lyudmila's pessimism regarding these events. Lyudmila generally appears to be more sympathetic to the other nations in Teyvat than most other Fatui, calling Rex Lapis' death "tragic" and putting herself in the people of Liyue's shoes despite Mikhail's attempts to take her mind off the subject.
