"Because it's not our job to have fun. We give that up the moment we graduate from being a novice. As asssins we can't show weakness of any kind whether it be through love or just in childish games. Alhena said trying to explain. "The Templars, they will use any weakness against us just to get the upper hand. That's why I'm starting to think Altair sent us instead of anyone else."

Saqr didn't answer. "Why do you want to know that?!"

"Oh okay." Yatahammal said looking at the ground. Inside he wanted nothing more than to just run, to take Seth far from the city and just disappear for a while. Yet that wasn't an option anymore. Soon their mission would be over and Seth would be sent away on his own and Yatahammal would be left to mope and train. What kind of life would that be?

"because we have weaknesses?" she asked. It sounded stupid to her.

"because it was our map?"

"come on." he said and jumped up onto the roof tops. He took Yatahammal's hand and led the way back, though not directly.

"Exactly, yet not quiet." Alhena said with a smile. "They expect the best of the best to be sent in so their guard will be up for that, they won't expect a band of novices to show up, yet we each are good at our own skills. Your good on the roofs, I'm more of a hands on kinda girl. If we work together we can work together enough that we can win!"

Saqr clenched his fist and grabbed her suddenly. He held a blade to her throat and put a hand over her mouth. "Because I'm a Templar." He growled before knocking her over the head enough to daze her. The man was gone before she could tell where he went.

"I'm I don't think this is the way back." Yatahammal pointed out.

"I guess your right."

Violet was stunned. Was he really a Templar? She stood and made her way back to the other.

Seth chuckled. "Does that matter? We'll get the eventually, just in a kind of round about way. This way I get to spend more time with you."

(I feel like someone is like reading this and just silently judging us.)

(Lol I feel the same way.)

"It seems a bit strange, yet I can see how it works..." Alhena sighed as she climbed down into the bureau. "We're back.l

"Good to hear, we were starting to worry." Rasul said not bothering to turn to look at them.

"Alhena! Gabriel!" Shadir called before hugging them. "It's so good to see you back in one piece."

Yatahammal blushed some and stopped along the rooftop. "Then why don't we take a moment and have it to ourselves? I mean I doubt anyone will ask, and if they do we can tell them we ran into trouble."

(lol.)
(if you are secretly reading then tell us you ghosty ninja assassin)

Gabriel was surprised. "ah, thanks?"

"Guy we need to talk." Violet said, as soon as she dropped in.

he chuckled. "That is quite a nice idea." he said, slowing.

Shadir let go of them and turned to Violet. "Yes Violet what is it?" He noticed she was alone. "Where's Saqr? Did the guards get him?"

Alhena straightened her cloak and patted her sylesti on the head.

Yatahammal walked up to him taking his hand that he had dropped moments before. "Then let's do it." He took the lead this time and led Seth to an abandoned house whoms window was open. "Now we can have our privacy." He said before kissing Seth again this time it was a longer kiss, more passionate.

"No. Worse. We were talking and he claimed to not need a map, so I asked why he stole ours. Then...then he hit me over the head and said he was a Templar!"

Gabriel looked shocked.

Seth returned the kiss, pulling him close.
(must. keep. pg. 13)

"I knew it..." Rasul growled. "He was too shady."

"Well ******...damn it he knows where we are! We need to move...god...he knows where the kingdom is. We must warn Altair!" Shadir said. "He could kill him!"

Yatahammal gasped. A minute to themselves wouldn't hurt would it? "I have a question...."
(I don't care we can switch them to a private message if it gets to extreme)

"well then I guess we should hunt him down." Gabriel said. She didn't seem fond of her own idea.

Violet was maybe less fond of it. "I guess so. I mean there's no way we can let him go...he could just be a double spy though?" she didn't believe herself though.

"what's that?" he purred into his ear.
(lol yeah.)
