    Summary

    Altair tightens his hold on the man sleeping restlessly against his side as lines of worry stretch between his brows and drag at the corners of his mouth.

    Summary

    Truly, Altaïr felt, no man suffered more for pride than he. And it wasn't as if it were unfounded pride. And yet his mistake- and it was, he could admit in retrospect a great and terrible mistake that cost far too much for too many- had his wings clipped, and made him feel like a messenger bird, not the hunting eagle he knew he was.

    Summary

    Most assassins were men of few vices. The creed specifically warned against overindulgence and the importance of moderation. It clouded one's judgment, made one and one's brothers more susceptible to harm, which in turn could lead to compromising the brotherhood. Generally, drinking wasn't encouraged, but the young assassins still managed to find a way to do so in secret.

    (Altaïr is about 20 in this and that makes Malik however old he is.)

    Summary

    “You cannot swim.” 

     Malik Al-Sayf said it flatly the first time, in that tone of voice he’d learned to use from his father, Faheem Al-Sayf, the War Hawk of Masyaf. Usually directed at Novices who had made a foolish mistake, who had made a mess for them to clean up. Rarely directed at Master Assassins, even if he was addressing the youngest Master Assassin in Masyaf’s history. So he said it flatly the first time, but the second time? 

     The second time, Malik threw down his untied bracers onto the cot and whirled on the stupid, stupid Eagle who was still refusing to look at him.

     Raising his voice and sharpening his tone.

     “You cannot swim?!”
