He takes that laughter like a 'yes', and Roman beams, but keeps everything he has to say for later. When he's openly more ready to admit he's changed, and the world's become more bearable to his cynical point of view.
"Yes, at least that's what I remember," Roman admits. He also hinted it for months, so she might have already guessed by how cagey he was in general about the First Summon and some delicate topics like the Roman Empire. "She told me she stayed-" he pauses and averts his eyes, as if just he's noticed how embarrassing Leonardo's words truly were, "Er, to help me. She said I looked like I was trying too hard and couldn't leave me alone." Like if she was his self-appointed legal guardian, that's his interpretation, at any rate.
"Yeah, I'm sorry but London this year is unavoidable," Roman apologizes, lowering his gaze, feeling the concern weight his words. It's not Chaldea's fault, but he still said that. He raises his eyes next, looking surprised not by the Servant's identity but by his admission. He finally let him know. A small smile spreads on his face. Iskandar is the Persian name of Alexander the Great. "I'm sure he'll recognize you." Although he has no idea how much El Melloi II's voice changed since his Grail War. "Oh, how about using that copy of Ihe Iliad you always borrow from the Library?"
He's kept the tabs on that and had wrongly assumed that his Servant as one of the heroes of the tales, not someone indirectly related to it.
lmao sorry about the iliad assumption I CAN CHANGE THAT IF YOU WANT
