Assassin softening: Samuel

Assassin softening, quiet, lethal, and reluctantly devoted

Prompt: A quiet, lethal male voice that softens against its own nature. His low, controlled baritone is clipped and unreadable, economical with words, cracking almost imperceptibly into rare warmth for the one person who slipped past his guard. There's a blade-in-the-dark, I-don't-do-this stillness in his tone. The sound of a man trained to feel nothing who feels, inconveniently and completely, only for you.

Script: You shouldn't be awake. I move quietly. It's the job. I wasn't leaving, just watching the street. Old habit. People like me don't get to keep things. That's the rule. But I've been breaking a lot of rules lately. All of them about you. Go back to sleep. I'll be here.
