Dear Master of Assassins (pt. 2)
Sir,
Things are going well with my mission, this is simply a curriculum suggestion.
As an assassin, I have learned many things from you. From killing a man with blade, sword, or thrown dagger, to sneaking about undetected, to bounding across urban terrain like a mountain goat of death, there are hundreds of skills I've learned under your tutelage. For which, I'm very grateful.
However, if I may, might I suggest that my training was rather deficient one significant area:
I don't know how to swim!
Considering that my current target is out on a ship, and that the only way to reach said ship is to start leaping from dock to boat to pier to boat and so on, and considering that said dock is crawling with heavily armored knights who want to run me through as well as crazy drunk guys who want to push me into the water, and considering that if I shove Boozy McDrunkie into the water he dies putting those guards all over me...
Look, a simple dog paddle would make my life a bit easier here is all I'm saying. And again, the whole point of being an assassin is to strike from unexpected angles and they certainly wouldn't expect me to swim up to the ship and board it.
I know, I know, it's much too late now, but since you can grant/remove skills at will, could you give me some swimming powers next level? Thanks.
Sincerely,
Altair
