Five looks over, careful to mask his shocked expression, when he asks for something he only has a vague understanding of. All ready to bargain before he can even empty his pockets. He doesn't know what he means. If he'd willing to be enslaved here or shave years off his life. For what?

It feels like something he should stop before they make up a contract, and then he's asked if there's something he wants, and his mouth goes dry. He can't trust them, no matter how much he's been tortured by his lost memories. All he'd be doing is opening himself up for betrayal. He could end up trapped here. ]

I came for him. [ Lan Wangji, who just decided to make an offer without hearing the options. ] He needs to think it over. Get some assurances that you can do what you say you can.

You can include the cost when you send your proposal.
