He snorted in amusement at how low her initial opinion of him had been, not even bothering to be offended. "That was the last killer. I detest random killings, any thug can kill, skill is killing only when all other options have been expired. Which is also why I have been avoiding the assassin's guild, as they require a certain number of contracts completed on top of guild dues to maintain one's membership. I also have many rules for when I do chose to remove life. Never in the target's home, never in front of the target's family. Avoid temples, mostly cause I detest the clergy getting shirty about the bloodstains. Kill quickly and cleanly, unless specifically ordered otherwise, and even then I think long and hard about it. Avoid killing guards, they are just doing their duty. Get companions out, and in such a way to avoid forcing them to kill. Maintain an exaggerated reputation of ruthlessness and invincibility, to keep pups from trying to slit my throat.<br/><br/>Lots of rules, and I am currently brushing up on my understanding of basic anatomy, to ensure that I can be quick and clean."<br/><br/>He held up the book on his desk, 'A Study on the Physiology of Humanoids,' and beside it was a book for the same on monstrous humanoids.
