She starts giving instructions - far more clear ones than most people manage. 

That's a useful skill to have.

Especially if it's matched by skilled in obeying. Though she can train that...

Birgitta's pretty good at it, actually. Better than Danella.

A very solid foundation.

"D'you have to do a lot of training?"

"With most people, yes."

"You could use training, of course. Everyone can. But you're already a step ahead of most."

"You think so?"

"I do. Though of course you'll have to show off more for me to be fully certain..."

"If you're sticking around, I could."

"I will be."

"That's good news."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah. I don't really get to meet a lot of new people. Not ones who stick around, anyway."

"You don't go out on missions and talk to people there?"

"Sometimes? But usually not. And I try not to let anyone see me twice."

Hum. "That's certainly a legitimate way to be an assassin. But it can dampen your ability to maneuver in a full range of circumstances, if you don't have experience with the world outside of us."

"Astridr tends to tailor who she sends on which missions."

"Does she do rotations or cross training?"

"Not really?"

Hum. 

"I'm not here to control how your leader assigns missions, and as Keeper I can't take any of my own regardless..." She sounds - sad, about that. 

"You could do- downtime training, though."

"I could." Grin. "I'd enjoy that. And it'd be a way to contribute directly to the young generation."

"Make your old bones useful?"

"Keeping the Night Mother intact is hardly a useless job."
