Why do I totally get the sense that Altaïr speaks perfectly fluent Valdemaran and is simply faking the accent?
This was hilarious. I admit that I have a little trouble buying why the Brotherhood would bother making such an open gesture, but the interactions - Malik being all snarly, Altaïr being quietly Amused and testing the people around him to see their reactions - is great! (And he'd probably be a bit more relaxed than Malik anyway - given that Eagle Vision would probably do a lot for verifying that these people are not potential enemies!)
They make a very deft Good Cop/Bad Cop team, now that I think about it...
OP!
