He didn't even have a name yet. He hardly knew what his original was talking about, even. The replicated sorcerer's ring had some effect to help him understand, thankfully, but it took him a few moments to think upon what the other was saying, even still.

Get out?

... Well, that seemed like a great idea. Splendid, wonderful. But how could he, who had only been born perhaps an hour before, possibly be able to think of a way out? He was still growing accustomed to this world, for Lorelei's sake.

"It's fascinating, really. I've only been alive for an hour at most, and yet I am expected to come up with some brilliant idea for breaking out of the only place I've ever known. Of course, friend. Of course I can do that."

... perhsps the Sorcerer's ring gave him more than just an understanding of words. He wasn't about to argue with it, however. It was probably some effect of his original being replicated with the ring on. Or perhaps, it might have been that accident during the replication process.

either way, he was able to speak, and understand words.
