"If it was not vital, I would not be here," Connor responded simply. It was not a response of arrogance, but of truth-- Washington would not have called upon him, nor would Connor have assisted, if the mission had not been of paramount importance. Connor was not of the Continental Army, at their beck and call to do grunt work. He was an Assassin, and he struck only where needed, be that to protect his people or to further the cause of the fight for independence.

"This woman... What makes her different from any other woman, man or child held hostage in this war? Supposing that was Commander Washington's only concern, he would be negotiating with the British for a ransom, not sending us."

Or, quite simply, leaving her to the mercy of the British, if she was deemed too unimportant. That was the reality of the war, as the Patriots were desperately short on funds and men to spare as it was.

Ichabod nodded, accepting that at face value. If even half the rumours were correct, the man was being modest. "I suppose that is quite true, regrettable as it sounds. Well, then. Put bluntly, she is an extra-ordinarily powerful witch."

The decision was a snap one, but trust went both ways. Even so, there was the faint spark of - apprehension, defiance? - a man who expected to be called a liar. It didn't matter, of course, they were committed to the mission.

"One we cannot afford to lose. She has, I hear, been content to remain neutral, but even excepting her own abilities, she is privy to the locations of several powerful devices. Until we find her, I cannot say whether she is in danger or simply is the danger."

Connor didn't immediately respond, looking thoughtfully to the fire for a moment. "A witch," he repeated evenly, eyes flicking back to Crane. There was nothing disbelieving or sceptical about his tone. Curiosity, if anything. It explained the fear he had seen in the eyes of some of the soldiers, their cautions not to stray away from the group or the camp. "And what would Commander Washington know of witches? He is a man of reason, not one to easily believe rumours or flights of fancy."

Which wasn't to say that Connor believed or disbelieved him -- he wanted to know how Washington had come to believe such grand claims were genuine.

"Far more than you or I know of them, I'd wager," His smile was wry, "The disadvantage of being a man of reason is that you cannot deny what you have seen with your own eyes."

Though he did prefer not to mention them... Which was sensible, given how important his reputation was to the efforts of the Patriots.

Connor gave him a long, searching look. Templar conspiracies were enough to deal with. But witches... This added a whole new element to the situation.

"I trust the commander's judgement, but what I need are details. What exactly is this woman capable of that she is considered a witch? Where is she being held? How many guard her?" He was used to working in improbable, if not downright impossible situations, enough for many to think him mad. Yet even he needed more information before he could formulate any kind of plan of action -- unless Ichabod already one in mind.
