[He wasn't expecting an answer. Not that quickly. But that's Waver, it's obvious he'd reply immediately. They're both absolute priority to each other. Unless the world is literally on fire they'll both literally drop everything else to come to each other's aid. Though Iskandar is quite sure they'd do it even if the world was indeed on fire. He knows himself. World be damned, he couldn't care less if Waver needed him.]
I heard no horror stories but saw enough on my own to form an opinion that's not exactly a favourable one. But, yes, you're absolutely right about Lord Ebisu being the exception. They all could learn a lot from him if they weren't so obstinate.
[There's a slight pause, then an almost inaudible sigh.]
As for shall I wait with the Naming or not. I thought about it. This woman needs a home, Waver. A roof over her head, food, shelter. I can't deny her this even if we end up not liking each other too much. [Yes, he knows it is so much more than that. Doesn't change anything.] If I have any doubts they're more about her reaction than mine. If she's willing to accept a Name from me when she hears what I think about the Nora question. Everything else I can work around. This one thing I will not.
[Yes there are wounds that don't heal that easily. As there is an empty room in his Temple that not a person other than the one who occupied it once will ever be able to use. But he's a King and a warrior. He can handle discomfort.]

I'll tell how things went after I speak with her.
