Waver considered how to best answer the question. It was a curious subject. “I had a recent conversation that indicated that this world has been remade several times due to the void cryst before the experiment and subsequent accident.” He gestured slightly and leaned forward, wishing for a moment he had something for a visual aid as he continued. But they were in a public space and he wasn’t hauling a mystic code out here as tempting as it was.
“The fact that the world has been remade several times before indicates to me a cycle. One that seems to have been interrupted.” That wasn’t exactly the point, but it was connected to his thought. “So if it’s a cycle, and the major catalyst is missing… One must wonder how this all worked before the experiment. Was the rate of things changing slower, or was the world more complete upon its recreations and were the changes different somehow when things were operating as they should be?” The abruptness of some changes, the fact that some things were meant to be here but thrown to another plane of existence during the explosion from the experiment like the Academy… It struck Waver as odd. He finally sat back again and shook his head. “That’s just my speculation based on what I’ve been told since arriving, though. I expect there’s too much we don’t know to draw more definitive conclusions.”
As Mitsuru warned him that her explanation might be a touch long, Waver offered one of his rare smiles and gestured at the absurd amount of books piled on the table. “You’ll find I don’t tend to think of complicated subjects and long explanations as a burden, miss. If you’re up for sharing, I would find it interesting to hear and learn about a subject like that.” He’s a professor, after all, long-winded lectures were the norm for him… It would be a change to be on the receiving end of one, after all these years. Waver never turned down a chance to learn something, after all. Not back then, and certainly not now.
At her response to his thanks, he hummed slightly. Her doubts were, in his opinion, silly. Even simple information or directing someone to those with more was useful. Due to the nature of simple information being simple, many people could write it off as something everyone simply knew. But he had only arrived recently, so having such things shared for him to store away for reference later was important.
“I suppose many would say we can only hope that our stay here won’t be long, though knowing how luck works when you need to be somewhere… We’re at the mercy of this place until sent back.” He mused, smile turning wry and a little sympathetic. There were.. only a few instances in which he would be content with being here. Specific people showing up would likely make him relax on the subject a little, but even if he had wondered about the odds of that happening…? The mage wasn’t holding his breath on that.
