[ Five grew up in a ruined library and after 45 years alone, he had read every single thing he could find that wasn't destroyed. That included some other literature about vampires and most mentioned the sun, crosses, and garlic. Of course, it was only that, fiction. As Oscar Wilde said: the truth is rarely pure and never simple. The truth is also shocking. Five is not as prideful to deny that some things in life still can catch him off guard. However, he's also familiar enough with the supernatural -his brother can interact with ghosts, for heaven's sake - that his brain just goes 'I guess vampires really are a thing, let's move on to focus on more pressing affairs' an accepts it as a new reality. ]
If you are sure. I can understand using deception in your favor, it's only logical.
[ He does it a lot himself now that he had a kid's body. It's annoying most of the time but it makes people underestimate him a lot and that works to Five's advantage. It seems like a positive thing now as well, after Nina's implications that other vampires don't have an issue with killing children, but knowing the fact it leaves him rather disgusted too. He doesn't comment on it but Five scrunches up his nose, frowning lightly. A new worry for another time. Right now it's troublesome enough to discover she had been trailing his family so close and he never once noticed before. None of them did. ]
Eh, when isn't Klaus drunk? It would have been harder for you to find him sober. [ Not quite true, because as far as he knows his little brother had tried to stay sober a few years but the joke helps to keep his casual demeanor on display. It gives Five a few extra seconds to think.
He gets the message, if she wanted them dead they would already be in pieces. Now, the reasonable course of action would be to eliminate the immediate threat (a vampire) but he doesn't have enough data to determine how successful he could be at that (would wood stakes work?). Mina could get pissed off if he did as much as attempt to kill her and failed, and she could take it out on the rest of his family. The other option is still shady but no one dies in that scenario. ]
I appreciate the honesty. [ He does, even if he doesn't like what he's hearing, or fully believes the whole truth. There's just too many lies in his life already. I never really understood the Commission's insistence on an apocalypse of some sort happening. ] Let's say I put my trust in you, that I follow your advice. That will make you an enemy of the time Commission as well.
