[ There's a pause, as he remembers how to use the magic, and then his voice comes through - crisp, low, commanding. He has his Prince voice on and he doesn't even notice. ]

You must go for the head. Decapitation is best, if you can manage it. Caving in the skull second best. Slice open the throat, third. No fancy footwork, no finesse. Your first priority is to keep yourself from harm, so only go for the kill that you know you can take. If you can't take it, escape.

[ He pauses, breathes. ]

We have been told to kill them, if we can. If you cannot, come to me. I will teach you how to fight.

We do not have the luxury of being ignorant.

[ He makes a low sound. He isn't sure if Wangji could exactly be forthcoming so much as... concise. But. Who knows.

However -- ]

Forgive me, I have forgotten my manners. How should I address you?

[somebadnews]

[ That's kind of what he's expecting. But still, he's been more helpful than most, so he earns his name. ]

Number Five. [ He says it in full just to avoid the follow up question. Yes, like the number. ]

No need to introduce yourself, I've been paying attention. Lee Chang, right?

[ He wrote it down. ]

[jeoha]

[ Number five. He assumes it must be a title, rather than a name, but that doesn't seem strange to him. Until this place, almost no one called him by his name. Nor would he have ever introduced himself by it.

If Number Five has retained his title, then Lee Chang will honour it. ]

Yes. I am honored to make your acquaintance, Number Five.

[somebadnews]

[ Five has to think if he's ever heard his name used so... respectfully. Not without some hint of mocking or manipulation involved. He doesn't mind it. ]

Same to you. [ And people tell him he's not pleasant. He clears his throat. ] And thank you, this was informative.

[jeoha]

Information is our first and best line of defense, so no thanks are required.

If I can provide anything else, do not hesitate to ask.

[somebadnews]

[ He's pretty sure he would, too. Something to remember when he feels like interrogating him as he tries to untangle his timeline theories. Multitasking between that and the looming threat of the undead is kind of a headache. ]

I'll keep that in mind.
