Quiet followed Burke to the open area, then stood waiting for instructions as he drew on the ground. She recognized the symbol — Loot. Worth. Looking up at Burke for explanation, she quickly realized what he meant by the shadowmark. Loot would be well guarded. You needed to sneak around guards.

She had plenty of experience in walking silently, but now she was actually being tested for it. She was impressed at how efficient the Dark Brotherhood was in training their recruits, testing their abilities and working with them to build them into the spies and assassins (she did not know about the priest branch) they needed. Quiet moved forward, little by little. Burke was still quite a bit away from her now, but she would have to move slowly if she wanted to be effective in being silent.
