Right...forgive me, I'm used to a little more caution when it comes to dealing with other Servants. [He managed a hesitant smile, acknowledging the obvious discrepancy--if (god fucking forbid) the Lancer from that timeline were to have arrived here, Waver would dearly hope he wouldn't be seen as an enemy himself. Reversing that kind of thinking would be tricky, but sensible.] I don't doubt for an instant that your timeline's Waver was just as proud to stand by you as I am with Lancer.

[And on that note-]

I can't claim to have met every single Servant or Master back then, and there are a few things I needed another to enlighten me on. I do know that the man who you knew as Lancer's Master was the one I know to have summoned Berserker--the previous Lord El-Melloi.

[There was very thinly veiled disgust in Waver's voice, shifting uneasily to lean more solidly on the cane at his side.]
