[Waver makes a noise that suggests obstinate might be a little kind in the Old Gods case, but otherwise sounds agreeing.]
No, I agree. She needs somewhere, but only with you if she can abide that. It's there for good reason.
I think with her, though, it'll take some time to tell in full how things are. She's cautious what she shows and a hard read from the outside. I get the impression Nesir doesn't trust easy.
[It's a slight caution that while she may agree to those terms, there might be problems down the road because she might not let on she having issues till they explode.
That said, the Nora restriction has been one Waver has always understood, though it's a question he's been wrestling with as well now that he's on the other side. There are good reasons to Nora, there are good reasons not. But when it comes to Waver, one thing any shinki has to understand is that while he may have authority over them, Iskandar has authority over him as his king, and that has to be respected, as Iskandar must be respected. Their actions can affect more than Waver and that Waver has duty to both them and his king.
It makes the situation more complex than the usual relationship between a god and his shinki, due to this possibility of conflict, and why he also won't allow Nora save for temporary Names for life or death situations or if things go to shit and something happens to him, to Iskandar. He has no choice but to be just as strict on this matter for everyone's sake.]
