Another moment I found that does not fit in anywhere~! Teehee~!
Cat
All was quiet inside of Jerusalem's bureau. Malik was hunched over his papers, completely focussed on his work. Outside in the hidden garden, Altair lay snoozing in the shade, stretched out on his side.
There was movement beyond the door, and Malik looked up from his maps as Altair suddenly stretched out on the rug. Malik heard the distinct sounds of bones popping and made a mental note to perhaps put some more pillows out.
Not for Altair, Malik hastily added in his mind, but for all passing assassins. No point in them resting if all it did was make them ache even more. He was a good dai, who cared for those that came to visit, even if some, or one of them, was an arrogant, pig-headed, cold-
Altair rolled over, and the sound of a yowling screech filled the bureau. Altair was completely up the wall and clinging to the grated ceiling within a second, and Malik went to the door right as a black cat came trotting past him, fur puffed up and an annoyed look on it's face. It hopped up on Malik's desk and began to angrily groom itself. It must have come in from the opened grate and found a good place to sleep-right beside the snoring Altair, who had clearly remained unaware of it's presence.
Malik looked up at Altair, who still clung tightly to the ceiling. His hood had fallen down, revealing the nervous sweat he had broken out in. And then-
-Malik burst out into a fit of laughter, covering his face with his hand and leaning against the door. Altair glared at him.
"I am glad you found that amusing," he groused, swinging his legs down so that he hung down straight, then landing in a crouch back on the rug. "I cannot imagine that you would laugh, waking up to the sound of a demon screeching in your ear."
"A mere cat!" Malik snickered, "A cat chased the great Master AssassinAltair up onto the ceiling!"
"It did not chase me," Altair asserted with a huff, although the beginning of a smile appeared on his scarred lips.
"...I merely ran from it."
aaaaand rest.
