Jon supposes he could offer some sarcastic advice, but this man isn't being rude or particularly obnoxious at the moment. The Archivist is quiet a moment, considering. "You're already doing what my advice would be: Find allies. Find the people you can trust to protect you when it all goes to hell. Because it will.

"If you're looking for someone who might protect you specifically from magic, my contract partner has a particular ability to remove magic and supernatural influences from most people. He can render them human or... unpowered, if they're a different species. Alessandro Tarabotti. He's also more likely to have thoughts about overthrowing things."

The Archivist shifts uncomfortably. "I'm, um... well, honestly? I tend to run and hide."
