Introduction #2

"How could you, Altaïr, the Altaïr, get followed by a woman?" scarf-guy almost had a heart attack. You glared at him, insulted at how he pictured you women. Though – what did he mean with 'the Altaïr'?

"I did not expect her to follow me after I started climbing," 'the Altaïr' said, not seeming very interested in all this.

"Wha- you knew I was following you?!" you gasped while taking a few steps away from the obviously dangerous group.

'The Altaïr' stared at you. "It was hard not to, with all the noise you made," he deadpanned, adding to your insulted-ness. They were clearly mocking you!

"Why did you decide to follow me in the first place?" You looked up, shrugged and started to play with your fingers. Despite living in a place where everyone believed, you still felt uneasy when it came to stating your beliefs out loud. "I thought… God was giving me an opportunity to change my life…"

'The Altaïr' sighed softly and turned towards you; he had always had a weak spot for people who believed for the better. "What's your name?"

A surprised smile broke out on your face, reminding Altaïr of sunrise.

"[F/N]!"
