You almost would not realize the boy had been done away with by a knife if not for the paint of blood coloring his clothes. The slit from left to right across his neck is so fine and clean you would almost miss it, and as described, his head is shaved - but no marking or branding anywhere on the body. A double edged knife known as a Thracian kiss, wielded only by those in the Assassins' Guild, is balanced on his forehead. You can faintly make out the blood on the back edge of the blade. Beneath his boot is a pressed periwinkle flower, ground into the grooves.
