Waver did not warm up to people particularly well. It could take him a while to get used to strangers and oftentimes he didn’t really engage much outside the classroom or casework. So it should be noted that even he was surprised to find he was enjoying this conversation with Mitsuru. She was bright and full of very good points and alternate thoughts to further the conversation. It was damn refreshing if he was being honest. Even if his students were all terribly bright in their own way, by now Flat would have devolved into some confusing comparison to a movie plot. Svin would be growling at him for it, and it would have begun wearing the professor down. “A decent amount of caution and skepticism is smart when dealing with anyone, so I agree that it would be best to consider their words from both angles.” He agreed with a short nod, offering a small smile.
The interest in his tone was evident as he continued on the subject of alternate planes. “That is my current thought on the subject… The cycle of the world destroying and remaking itself with this void cryst, could mean that certain things are meant to be here regardless of the reset… If it has the ability to move things to alternate planes even temporarily, it could be part of the cycle. But we don’t know enough about the cryst and how or why it does what it does at this point to say so definitively.” But if it was… The odd rate that things appeared here could be a delayed and slightly stuttered version of what was meant to happen, not quite working properly because of the void crysts destruction that caused the old world’s end and this one’s beginning. “I have also heard about death, about this world being… different… I should see if I can have a word to find out more about this other location, though.”
It took him a moment to consider her interest in the subject. On the one hand, it wasn’t hard to explain, nor was it exactly a secret. On the other hand, if she wanted more details, it could turn into a longer story that he didn’t tell a lot of people. Even Reines could only speculate over it based on snippets he’d shared and rumors. In the end, it seemed unfair to say nothing, considering what she’d shared. “I don’t mind telling you how it works, but I should warn you in return that it might take a little while.” And while he had a feeling he already knew the answer? Waver would leave that in her hands, because she had given him the opportunity. He would do the same in return.
The mage felt his frown deepening considerably, though, as Mitsuru continued. So not only had she been let to clean up her grandfather’s mess… She’d lost someone in the process. Someone important if the way she seemed to draw in on herself was anything to go by… When she spoke of her team, he had presumed she was the leader herself, but it seemed like that wasn’t the case either… “Then I’m also sorry for your loss. It’s… never easy to lose someone close to you. Especially under circumstances that were put upon you all by others.” Worse if she carried the guilt of that on top of everything else. Carrying the burden of another person’s life on your hands was not an easy thing. He knew that well enough (even if he would not admit it wasn’t his fault either) that carrying the burden of another life was particularly difficult regardless of how you felt about them.
