Politics aside, [ Alistair's voice continues, with scolding emphasis aimed at himself, ] who wears skirts better, do you think? Mages or Templars?

[el_tybs]

So everyone wore robes where you're from? Or rather when you're from?

[conqueredhearts]

Mmmm. I think it would be more accurate to say it is a tunic and a cloak actually.

[el_tybs]

Really? So similar to what I wear now?

[Course his wasn't that long and we wore pants under it.]

[conqueredhearts]

Something like that. Only on a man the tunic would be almost to the knees and the sleeves shorter and more billowy.

[Pause.]

And without pants.

[el_tybs]

And why's that? Pants are pretty useful.

[conqueredhearts]

Not all wear pants here.

[Fashion choice. Uniform. It doesn't matter why really. The fact is not all wear pants here so an entire culture without pants can't be that surprising can it?]

[el_tybs]

[An entire culture uniformly not wearing pants? Yeah that would be surprising to him, because he couldn't imagine wearing nothing on your legs at all would work in every situation.]

So, you never wore pants back where you lived?

[conqueredhearts]

I wore pants in Japan.

[Pause. OH WAIT.]

Ah! You mean where I was born, yes? Then no. I never wore pants in Macedonia.

[el_tybs]

Japon? Macedunia? Can't say I know either of those.

So then what made you start wearing pants?

[conqueredhearts]

You have the idea but your pronunciation of those lands is terrible!

[Don't mind him. He's only laughing because you're adorable.]

Well it is common in Persia to wear pants. But also the boy would not let me walk the streets of Japan wearing only a shirt!

[el_tybs]

[He doesn't take it to heart seeing as Iskandar has a habit of laughing for that reason.]

The boy?

And he has the right idea. Walking around without pants... well... [It would be trouble for anyone, but especially you, Iskandar.]

[conqueredhearts]

Waver Velvet.

[He laughs again.]

Yes I imagine that the length of me would surprise a great many!

[No, the fact that someone is walking around wearing only a shirt would but details.]

[el_tybs]

Ah, yeah.

[Seeing as they were talking publicly on the crystals Sam was just going leave it at that. Otherwise he's sure a great many other things would start being said. The man had no shame after all.]

Waver-? He wouldn't happen be the same Waver that came through a rift would it?

[conqueredhearts]

He is! You have met him then?

[He's so pleased by that.]

[el_tybs]

I have. Was showing him how to ride a horse not too long ago actually.

[conqueredhearts]

Since he only ever rode a horse by sitting in front of me on one when he was a boy, I would say he does need lessons. It's true.

[el_tybs]

He took to it very well, but he certainly seems to have something about 'doing something wrong'.

You keep saying boy. How long have you known him?

[conqueredhearts]

Technically? A few days.

[He's being completely serious.]

[el_tybs]

... What? Like you knew him a couple days as a boy and now just meeting him again?

[conqueredhearts]

I think that he was nineteen when we first met. Then I had another death and he grew up into the man he is now. I'd say he's ten or eleven years older and I met him again when he fell through the rift.

Moved to Private

[el_tybs]

[Death- oh right. Spirit... thing in his world.]

You really shouldn't be so vocal about the whole 'death' thing. Some people would really freak out about that.

[Like they needed more issues for the Rifters.]

So you seriously only known him for a handful of days?

Private

[conqueredhearts]

Ah. I hadn't thought of that. I simply already know that the fight I return to in my world will be my last.

[Death isn't anything to fear so it's not something he's put much thought into.]

Yes. I knew him for about a week in our world. I've known him longer here but a decade has passed for him that hasn't for me.

Re: Private

[el_tybs]

[That seemed strange, but he supposes it has to do with that whole being a spirit? It's still a lot to comprehend honestly.

A pause.]

What do you mean your last?

[conqueredhearts]

I will be defeated by Archer and I will die. That will be the end of my time as a Servant in that war.

[el_tybs]

[Archer? Servant?]

You'd be going home to die?
