A Close Shave
Aug. 31st, 2025 12:43 pmReaders, you’ll be proud of me. This time, I actually tried to hand-translate by visiting forums and such. And hey, I actually knew a couple of these already (one of them from The Mummy!) (And man, it sure would be nice if all the sites would agree on whether something’s formal or informal, but then, probably half of them are AI-generated. Also Altaïr’s body language is going to be just harsh and aggressive so everything’s probably informal when he’s concerned.)
I haven’t actually visited the Siena sewers, so I can’t speak on those. The Duomo is very pretty, though. Shaun, is, of course, a British hipster, but he’s not completely wrong, either: sometimes the less popular attractions are more interesting.

Let’s move. Yalla!

I left it a bit because I’d written most of it but wanted to spend more time on trying to hand-translate. When I came back to it I’d entirely forgotten the ending and ended up catching myself by surprise and laughing about it.
