[clocks Da Vinci once again, to make sure she's still there; she definitely recognizes her, and knows it isn't the same as the one they were with...probably]
The King of Men is...
[gestures to her own antlers, for comparison]
The one who currently has her body, yes? He didn't seem like he was opposed to her taking it back...just that he had it while she was gone.
"Oh, he really is calling himself that?" For some reason, this appears to make the man oddly happy. "He's--well, I suppose a lot of his attitude is sort of my fault, yes. We didn't exactly have a falling out, but he was quite angry with me for a long time. But I don't think he'd hurt Ritsuka. Not like this, at least. In a fight, surely, but if he was in her body, I doubt that's what happened."
[nods as well, inclining her head towards Lan Wangji; they're a little concerned! about Ritsuka fading!]
We expected this to be an urgent endeavor, so seeking out allies is the best course of action. If he isn't an ally, but also isn't one to go out of his way to pick a fight with us...we should be alright.
"Romani Archaman." He bobs his head a little, looking abashed. "Just Roman is fine. We don't know much of what happened--ah, like I said, we're stuck here. But Leonardo has a connection to the part of her that's alive, so... well, we heard a little bit about it here.
"What I can say about him is that... while he will make his schemes and plans, if he's calling himself the 'King of Men,' then... he might understand more than he acts like he does."
"Well. He's not really supposed to be here at all, so--well, I don't really know how it works, but... he has a temple. The door location is usually hidden, but if you find the key, it'll lead you there."

I suspect that the King of Men is a neutral party to all of this. If you're here now, then perhaps you didn't part ways amicably.

We were told she had faded.

Might I ask your name, young master?

"We've said what we needed to. I don't think seeing me again will do him much good."

"Take the stairs up," he says. "And... never mind the rest of it, but... thank you for the offer, anyway."
