[Waver's memories were, in general, not very pleasant ones. It was fortunate the network picked up what it did today; he knew very well that much, much worse could have possibly been broadcast. (Caster came to mind, for an unfortunate example.)]

"Fate/Zero - Iskandar's pep talk to Waver" (Watch on YouTube)

[It's not like Hollyleaf can understand...nearly anything of what's going on. But she is starting to understand something, and now her roommate's past is showed to her...]

Waver. Waver, are you there?

[Hollyleaf's more or less knocking at his door; it's more like pawing, she still hasn't gotten this human thing down.]

I'm here...it's open, you can come in.

[He'd sent Palmon out to the library not long before, so instead of being assaulted with a million questions by a plant Waver was just...sitting alone staring at his D-Terminal.]

...That was your memory, wasn't it? This place is tapping into our minds now.

[She's quite frank and direct, to be honest. Mostly because...she can't think of anything else it could've been.

I...yeah. I don't understand why it would want to do that, but it looks like that's what happened.

...That's not right...that's...private... [She's never liked when Jayfeather barges into other cat's minds, but at least she knows him, this is...]

...Your friend seems kind.

He was, in his own...kind of weird way.

[Waver sighed, leaning his head on his hand. Well, it was kind of hard to avoid now, and he trusted Hollyleaf enough to come relatively clean on matters, so:]

It's okay if you want to ask me about all that. I'll explain it the best that I can.

[Was, ah. She leans against the wall. The door's open a crack.]

I don't really understand it, honestly. What was going on. I don't think I'd know where to start.

...But if you'd like to talk, I can...listen. I guess I just wanted to see if you were okay.

I'm...I think I'm okay. Really.

...He was kind of the only friend I ever had. 'Friend' is kind of oversimplifying it, but it's not really inaccurate.

He wasn't wrong. No matter how small the warrior, you can make a difference. His advice is...sound, even here.

But I'm sorry it forced you to see him, if you're...having trouble.

Ōkeanós... the ocean at the end of the world?

That's the one, yeah.

Like in Greek mythology...

[Between that and what was said about heading east 'like an idiot'...]

Alexander the Great?!

That would be him alright.

[not even batting an eye like this shit is totally normal]

...I'm pretty sure he wasn't supposed to be that big...

It's funny you mention that, actually. I said as much myself one day.

It seems like it's not that he was short--Darius was just bigger. I'm still not entirely sure I believe it.

Well, either way... I'm kinda curious how you have one of the most famous men in history hanging out with you. In a graphic tee.

It's a really long story involving magic rituals and a glorified tournament for the Holy Grail.

...As for the shirt, he had awful taste in clothes. It was a huge argument just getting him to wear pants.

[Sakura, as usual, just watches this quietly, with her usual stoic expression. It takes a moment before she speaks.]

I would have liked to meet this friend of yours.

He was...definitely something, alright.

Though I am not sure why he wanted to conquer the world, I can respect someone who knows how small they are in the grandest scheme of things.

He was Alexander the Great, it was sort of his thing.

[Sigh.]

But you're right--he did have a point.

Alexander the Great? [Whoa.] But...I have read that he was much shorter than the man I saw in that memory.

I said the same thing. But I guess according to him, people like Darius were just taller.

[Pause.]

...I'm still not really sure I believe that. But I guess some legends can get twisted like that.

Perhaps we know less about these people who lived so long ago than we think we do.

You have no idea.

[king arthur was a lady, sakura]

[shit is weird]

Eventually I just stopped asking questions.
