"Had two septads when I did my first murder." Might as well say the word, weren't like she didn't know, and Mildmay couldn't hide what he was. "She'd been training me up since my face got all fucked." Keeper'd gone without an assassin ever since Lettie got sloppy and got herself killed two and a half indictions earlier.

"Didn't leave for a couple indictions more." It wasn't like he was killing somebody every damn night, or even every decad. But two years of killing was two years of killing.
