[That's a lie to himself. To fend off curiosity, to keep him from going down a bad path. Waver's gotten better at self preservation since the coven, the same lack thereof that made him think the Holy Grail War was a great idea.]
It's the tree of life, a variation of the Sefirot. [However the fuck Jewish mysticism got into Roy's world is a question for another day.] There's two circles, connected by a single line. On each side, there are four branches. The top circle is crowned, the bottom has ten different roots coming out out of it. I'm going to read each one and describe the position based on left or right side. Here we go.
[Waver is nothing if not precise. He has to be, it's his stock and trade, and the way he reads it's more like he's reciting a spell than giving dictation. Either way, his tongue falls into a familiar pattern. It's easy. It's natural. This is where he thrives.]
