I remember that in Yendi one of the clues which makes Vlad start to wonder if its opponent (I don't remeber its name) actually doesn't try to kill him is that in the last kill attempt the assassins didn't try to kill him inside the restaurant but in the door, where he can move freely. Later he argues, with kraagar or Cawti (I read Yendi several years ago, sorry), trhat it is stupid and no competent assassin would do like this. So, why Vlad thinks that the Jheregh's assassins, who there's no doubt that wants him dead, will not strike him inside but that they will wait him outside? If these non-written rule about Valabar's safety does exists, Vlad thought and conduct will take sense in two ways: (i) they will wait him to respect the rule and (ii) Vlad choices Valabar's because, althought he doesn't worry now about the Jhereg, he wants the best meal: if in the middle of it appears an army of assassins he won't enjoy it, doesn't he?
