[There's a distinct
set of bird calls after a 'gah' coming from a man and the name 'Mahdi' being called by another after the ensuing ruckus causes one of the phones to fall on the ground and start recording already.]
Altaïr what the fuck! [That would be the disgruntled voice of one Desmond Miles. It is slightly muffled by annoyed flapping and the bird calls.] A hawk?
[It's a good reunion between these two assassins, clearly, after Altaïr decided to disappear off into the wilderness for a time shortly after his arrival or to scout around Aliunde as far as he could, making note of places to hide or where a good vantage point could found if and when they were needed.
He has not returned from the wilderness empty-handed. And Desmond? Desmond who has his Eagle Vision, is the unlucky one to stumble across his ancestor on his return trip to the bureau with one
hawk as a companion.]
Seriously, Altaïr, can you call off the damn bird? Why did you even have that?
A messenger, Desmond. We have used birds of prey and pigeons as messengers in the Holy Land for many years to pass messages between Masyaf and the bureaus. He could be useful.
[From the look on Desmond's face that the screen so helpfully captures, it's doubtful he agrees with that assessment.]
[[ooc: Replies will be coming from both Desmond and Altaïr. If any are curious as to the bird, it's a Levant Sparrowhawk.]]
