[After all, an assassin who can't be stealthy when it's called for is a dead assassin.
He's far too familiar with the concept of not being safe, he's not been safe ever, all things considered. Not just because anything and everything wants to kill you if you're a Victorian (from the water up, it seems) but because of what he is, what his parents were.
But here and now, he has to use what he is to keep them safe, keep her from slipping off the ledge, and keep the guards away from them. Eagle Vision helps with that: he can see the guards on their patrol, currently facing away and proceeding down the rows of barrels. Up on this floor, there are only four, working in pairs. Right now, one is facing away from them heading down the room, but is close. The other is walking towards them but is at the other end of the dark warehouse.
They can do this. It's pretty easy, in comparison to some of the jobs he's done. Hermione is the unknown factor, and he keeps a hand just shy of her, to catch her if she stumbles. The ledge is, after all, not wide enough to comfortably linger on. Best move. ]
It's clear enough. We go in, quickly and quietly, to that first row of barrels. Duck down there, we check again on those two sets of guards. Try not to make any sound, alright?
