Connor liked James Kidd.

Perhaps it's because of the other young man's closeness in age, or because he's just less abrasive in general when compared to Ezio, but he found the training sessions between them to be more enjoyable. He's not sure how James measures up to Achilles in that regard, and is reluctant to pit them against each other in his mind, but for now, until he returns home or until the god of this place grants him the presence of Achilles, he's content.

At the moment, Connor is constructing some dummies to use for practice, tying ropes around loose man-shaped figures made of hay. He glances over his shoulder as he pulls a length of rope tight, preparing to knot it.

"I meant to ask before," he says, "what is it that your Mentor is like?"

"There was a time where you'd have to lose your finger in order to wield the blade proper. Made it easy to tell who we were, so the design was later changed."

Lucky them.

"Would that deter you?"

"The blade's design was different in the time of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, until it were modified so it wasn't plain as day who was Assassin and who was not, as you said. Most of us still get the proper finger branded to prove our devotion."

He glances over Connor.

"We'll have to figure something out for you. Should it come to that point."

"Complete your training and they'll have no choice." James was on his side, at the very least, and he knew quite a bit about not being taken seriously for one reason or another. If the boy finished his training, then he deserved respect. He could already tell Connor had good temperament for an Assassin, so all that was left was skill.

"Auditore will have to cope, seein' as he's likely the only one to be reluctant to accept you as a true Assassin."
