Always nice to see someone normal about his job. While it wasn't exactly a thing Mishka advertised (an assassin identifiable by face is not a very good assassin), he was so often in the company of other Syndicate members, he was more usually in company of those who knew than not.
However, he does get the sense that Ellis's excitement about the signing in and of itself overshadows the novelty (or perhaps lack thereof, given the bunch in Crescent View?) of being an assassin, and to that extent he understands it, if only from an outsider's perspective. It must be a little lonely, being fluent in a language no one else can understand— even in a place where all languages are otherwise translated. The flurry of his signs is a little endearing.

"I may have a particular title, but it doesn't make me that much more important. I've heard more tales of hapless wanderers than I have of those of my station."

"Must a language exist for more than connection? Creating a language for killing seems a little perverse to me." ( A beat. ) "Not that I argue with it. This has made life much easier."
