So you wish to train her as a recruit, but never truly induct her as one of our own. To teach her our ways but never call her "sorella" or "sister." Have yourself, us, be open and possibly vulnerable to prying questions and unwanted attention if word gets out about you teaching her. And try as you might to keep quiet, it will get out.
Forgive me for sounding against it, Connor- but the point of our Brotherhood is secrecy. "We work in the dark to serve the light." If we make ourselves that visible, we risk harm to everyone both in the Order and those who are connected to us. I am not so certain I am willing to place so much on the line to a girl I do not even know.
And while I am certain she is talented, she is still a child. Far below the age I would take in or even begin to consider her for our ranks. You speak of doing this in order to give her guidance, to support her. To be an influence, correct? We can support her and guide her, as you have suggested, but we must do so with her as an ally, or a recruit. There is no median when it comes to the Brotherhood.
I urge you to meet her. I have shied away from considering her a recruit because of the futility of the situation. You and I both know she will never move beyond novice, that she will more than likely not take the Creed with her when she returns.
In the end, if it is possible,I would prefer that she be taken as a recruit. I did not allow myself to consider that option, to be honest.
I am curious about one more matter. How old were you when you were introduced to the Order? Mindy is scant years younger than I was. What are the habits for this in your time?
I will meet her. I understand how it seems pointless to want to recruit when there is no promise of staying here, but we must stay true to how the Brotherhood is as a whole. If we do not, anything that ties us together will be strained upon, and I do not want tensions amongst ourselves.
I will consider your input, however.
My journey into being an Assassin started when I was seventeen, believing that my anger was a justifiable reason to call myself one. It was not until ten years had passed that I began to understand the true meaning of what an Assassin stood for, and another ten years to fully come to realize what it meant for both myself, and those around me. Why are you asking?
There was no true Brotherhood when I began. It was only through time and many many years of patience and experience that I restarted the Bureau for Rome, and it grew strong enough to spread out further into other parts of Europe. We became organized only through working together and understanding each other and what would aid the people and what they chose.

It is my understanding that the Brotherhood was much more organized and had many more resources in your time than it did in mine. I am simply curious.
