And that is why you remain a novice
Who| Altaïr ibn La-Ahad and anyone vaguely interested in drawing
What| DRAWING/teaching drawing if asked
Where| Central Commons, maybe also D11 floor or the roof
When| may 11-14 perhaps?
Warnings/Notes| Assassins drawing flowers
He was reluctant to demonstrate even the most unassuming skill in front of these "cameras" he'd been warned about, especially since he promised someone he'd draw something else of a much more rebellious nature. But there were new drawing tools in this strange land, and he felt obligated to at least try them out in his downtime. Even an overachiever like him knew he couldn't leap across roofs tracking Peacekeeper patrol routes with no rest for his limbs. In a few hours he might sleep or scout the city again.
He procured some pieces of paper and idly drew lines in various types of pens. Ballpoint didn't do justice to the curling forms of the birds or plants he made. But that was why he purchased some ink and a few dried reeds from a flower-arranging shop. He cut them into flat-nibbed pens with knives in the kitchen (and reluctantly put the knives back).
With calloused hands he sketched and inked without intent, which was unlike him. He always did things with a purpose, but at least this was better than sitting in a corner lamenting his captivity. He drew animals, plants, and random decorative motifs. He very carefully avoided drawing people, fearing the faces of those he knew at home might show up in them.
