[ 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.

[ Oh hi Sebastian. Clearing her throat first, Merrill tries to sound less awkward because this guy sounds so formal. Of course, it only makes her more awkward. ]

Well, if they attack first, then of course...!

[ If they're like the undead she's used to, then it will be easy for her to defend herself eventually. Even undead should have blood, except for the skeletons. ]

It would be much simpler to kill the one controlling them, though. How nice it would be if we could simply ask them to stop! But someone probably has already tried before now...

In my experience, even killing the one who set them on their bloody path won't stop them once they've started. The only means of ensuring they are destroyed is beheading or burning every single one.

And you won't have time to decide if they attack first.
