eleventh. written.

Today I have been in this place for a year. There is still much I do not understand about its ways as well as the ways of the people who live here, including all of you. There are times where I think I am adjusting, where I think I am understanding, but then something happens and it is clear that I am not.

I am not sure if I will ever understand.

[friends + Assassins]
There is a man here now by the name of Haytham Kenway. Treat him as genially as you like, but I warn you not to trust him. - Connor

[Assassins + Maria Thorpe - Edward Kenway]
He is a Templar. I do not ask for favours lightly, but I will ask you this: Do not kill him for this fact only; there is no point in this world. - Connor

[Oh, she will. But she has to ask...]

Will he try to do anything to you?

I do not think so. He is not malicious; only misguided.

[He thinks, anyway. He has no idea what Haytham is like, but it would be nice to assume his father isn't evil.]

I wonder if it is worth trying to build a relationship.

That's up to you. [Steph doesn't think so, but maybe that's her own issues speaking up.] Just be careful with him.

[Physical harm isn't the only thing dads are capable of.]

I mean... would you want a relationship with a guy that thinks Templars are the right team to be on?

Perhaps I can persuade him to change his ways.

From my own experience with my dad, they have to want that change. Otherwise it's just a waste of your breath.

Don't get your hopes up, Connor.

I will not know until I try.

I hope you get what you want. [But so help Haytham if she catches wind of him harming Connor in any way.]

If there's anything I can help you with, I will. I know all this family stuff is tough.

Yes. It is stressful, on top of everything else. But I would not ask that of you.

I don't just offer to be nice. It's not an inconvenience or anything. I'm just sayin', the offer is there if you want it.

Of course. Thank you, Stephanie. You are a good friend.

Hey, it's what friends are for.
