Sweat.
The group of assassins had never repeated so much in their lives.
Why did it seem different than what they imagined?
They had climbed several 3 and even 7 storey buildings in palaces, estates and other places before with just their bare hands, and sometimes with metal arrows.
So if they could succeed while gripping metal arrows, why was it so difficult when holding these tweezers?
They had invisible tears in their eyes as they struggled to make it to the top.
Of course, if they had taken a little thing called Physics before, they would understand that even though the tweezers were sturdy and couldn't beak when compared to an arrow that gave them enough holding space for load distribution, the tiny tweezers didn't even fit their entire palms.
So many had to excerpt more pressure on their fingers and grip them with enough force to support their heavy weights and loads.
