    Septimus let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks", he said. He glanced at Trixy cautiously. Stuffing his hands in his pockets, he stood, wondering if Benjamin would suggest doing something. Septimus had no belongings, so there was no point in going into the house until night.

    Benjamin Cloudmark


    His head came up at a distant cry. He looked alert, like a deer in an open field. It sounded again. Benjamin rushed up the stairs, threw open the window, leapt out onto the roof and found a high point. He narrowed his eyes once, watching colors fade and shift to gray and black. Red targets surrounded a blue target. Civilian and Templars. He tugged his hood down, casting his face into shadow. New clothes or not, he had to do something.

    Septimus jerked his head up at the sound. He almost instinctively turned, but he sighed as Benjamin ran into the house. Following him, Septimus reached the roof and joined Benjamin. "You didn't have to run like that", he muttered. Seeing the civilians and Templars, Septimus looked at Benjamin with a worried look. "Oh no", he said shaking his head. He sighed, thinking about what the Master had told him. What a bother, Septimus thought. Benjamin was tensed, ready to come and fight the Templars.

    Benjamin Cloudmark


    "Either follow me," he said softly, not bothering to look at Septimus. "Or stay behind, mate. I can't just leave them there, to be harassed by Templars." With that, Benjamin started toward the five, stalking like cat until he was just above them. He could hear the man's cries for mercy. "Please stop," he called, tears falling down his face. He had bruises everywhere, from what Ben could see. He knew Septimus had followed and whispered. "You take out the far two, and I'll get the others." With a deep breath and his ancestors following, he leapt up and slammed his hidden blades into the men's skulls, listening to their yells get cut off as his weight took them to the ground.

    Septimus grunted in reply. He watched as Benjamin crushed the Templars far below. Two others were rushing to their aid. Septimus leaped down and whipped out his knife. He kicked one of them, temporarily throwing him down. Septimus swiped at the other one with his blade, scoring bleeding marks on his skin. The man cried out before lashing back at Septimus. Septimus almost lost his breath as he watched the Templar's knife swoop toward him. Eyes widening, Septimus kicked up, connecting with the Templar's arm.

    Benjamin Cloudmark


    He pulled away from the dead bodies and threw two little daggers toward the other Templars before crouching near the bruised and broken man, shielding him.

    The Templar fell back and tumbled off the roof. Looking back, Septimus joined Benjamin and the injured man, who was breathing heavily.

    Benjamin Cloudmark


    He carefully gripped the man's shoulder in a calming gesture. "You're safe now, my friend," he said softly, helping the man to his feet. Once up, the man shrunk back and cast his gaze down. Benjamin turned his head upon hearing Altair speak and turned back to the man. "We are friends." The man looked up and swallowed hard. "Why help me, strangers," Benjamin smiled softly. "We do not wish harm upon you, as those men did," he responded, handing a pendant with the Assassin symbol etched into the metal to the man. "Join the Brotherhood."
    "Where," asked the man, gripping the pendant tightly in his hands.


    [/fancypost]

    Septimus lifted his eyebrows. Since when did an Assassin just ask a commoner to join the Brotherhood? He didn’t say anything, for the man held Benjamin’s pendant desperately, as if his life depended on it.

    Benjamin Cloudmark


    He nodded down the street and around the corner. "Go around the corner down that way," he said softly. "Show them the pendant and they will welcome you with open arms." The man nodded and looked at Septimus before he disappeared down the street.

    "Do you usually do that back home?" Septimus asked Benjamin with an uncertain look. He watched as the man disappeared into the crowd.

    Benjamin Cloudmark


    "Only when I feel they deserve a better life than being harassed by the Templars," he stated, climbing back onto the roof. Certainly, the bodies would draw quite a bit of attention to the area, so he wanted to get out before any more Templars came. "Or if I feel they hate the Templars as much as we do."


    [/fancypost]

    Shrugging, Septimus climbed up the roof after Benjamin after giving the limp bodies of the Templars an incredulous look.

    Benjamin Cloudmark


    He watched as more Templars arrived and swiftly returned to the window. Gripping the roof above it, he slid his body inward and let go of the roof as soon as his feet touched the wood floor.

    Septimus stayed where he was and watched as more Templars came to examine what happened. After a few moments, Septimus followed Benjamin into the house.

    OOC: I don't know...maybe the Templars send a whole army to try to take over the world..

    OOC: yeah sure. I just have no idea what kind of plot we can do. So I'll just go with yours.

    Benjamin Cloudmark


    It was a month since Ben had came to America. A noise caught his attention, making his head raise. "Flash," he called, using Septimus's nickname. "Did you hear that mate?"
