Uriah set the big pot of soup on the table and put spoons and bowls on there as well. They're old enough to get their own food if they want it. "What are you guys looking at?" He looked over Cyrus's shoulder.

“Before you got here, this strange letter was sent to us, and no one bothered to try decoding it until now,” Cyrus explained.
He got up and served himself a bowl of soup.
“Thanks, Uriah. It smells good.”

"Well." Uriah took the paper and looked at it throughly. "I can tell you no assassin wrote this. The hand writing is to nice, maybe they hired or threatened a noble to write it." Uriah has seen hand writing like this a lot in school, near and perfect. "Maybe you can search up nobles who are excellant at languages, maybe a professor? Sorry, if this doesn't help and makes things worse." He handed the paper back and got some soup for himself.

“I thought it was someone within our guild. Perhaps someone well-educated, but almost certainly an insider,” Cyrus admitted, “But they could have threatened someone of higher standing to do it too. I didn’t think of that.”

Uriah grabbed a piece of paper and wrote on it. His naoble back ground him his hand writing look just as good as what's on the paper. "If an assassin did write this then he had a good teacher." Uriah slid the paper next to Cyrus. He had copied what was on the paper and wrote it himself. "See, its almost exactly like my handwriting so, only someone that's well educated and had a lot of schooling can write this well."

“Do you think it could belong to someone close to you or a student of the person who taught you?” Cyrus asked.

"Possibly. I never had problems with people at my school, but if someone somehow found out Zhavia was an assassin, that would cause problems and rumors to fly. But, that's the only reason I can think of if it was from somebody at my school." There's so many high class schools that it's going to hard to find where it came from. "Have you looked closely to see if a letter looks different some how, or if there are little marks that could possibly be a secret signature. You know, like how some killers leave behind symbol after a kill."

“Uriah, my gut tells me it’s a friendly note. I don’t think this person is after us. At face value, it says the guild is under attack. One possible decoding says not to come back because it’s too dangerous. I think this person may have been extorted into writing a note to lead us to our deaths, but they managed to slip in other messages without being noticed. But now that you mention it, I haven’t looked that closely at individual letters. I’ve been much more focused on what it says.”
Cyrus then bent his head down closer to the paper to search for the possible existence of a “secret signature.”

Krista had come down into the bunker. "Not all assassins are the same. I've known a few with a formal education. Don't discredit people based on that." Krista peered over Cyrus' lowered head at the note. "What's the pressure on the writing?"
