If you had a chance to wish for anything in the world, what would it be?

Try not to go with the obvious "escape the tower" nonsense, because I know most of you want that. Think of something else. Something you really want.

[It takes a bit more effort on his part to switch, since he... kind of forgot how... But he figures it out. He's surprised to see who he had been talking with, regardless, as she likely will be with him. He hadn't really had a mental picture of who he had been talking to, but still, for them to be a young girl was a surprise.

But he doesn't miss a beat other than his raised eyebrows, dipping his head lightly to begin his introduction in turn.]

And it is a great pleasure on my part as well, Mami. I am Alexander III of Macedon. Though this is a bit of a mouthful, eh? So I just go by Rider lately.

[carabina]

[ There was some shock to see who she was talking to. She knew the person at the other end had to be strong, but she wasn't expecting them to be so big in size. Still, there was a smile on her face before it was replaced with a curious look once he told her his name. The name was famous, but not as famous as what people called him. ]

Alexander III of Macedon... Are you perhaps Alexander the Great? [ After all, with his talk of conquering... It had to be, unless his parents were very creative when it came to names. ] But yes, Rider is rather simple to remember, so I'll call you by that.

[macedonian]

[He nods, a wide grin coming to his face]

I am indeed! Though it is a bit too self-congratulatory to call oneself "the great," eh? It is a title I take with pride, but also with some measure of humility.

[carabina]

I'm glad to hear that. Too many people let their pride go to their head. [ Hopefully they don't lose it either. ] It's nice that there's at least someone out their who takes their title with pride and respect.

[ She studies him slightly. ] To be honest, your majesty, I am surprised by your appearance a bit.

[macedonian]

Heh, are you?

[The way he's smiling makes it clear that he's heard this before, but there's no hint of annoyance in his tone whatsoever. On the contrary, he sounds quite curious] How would you have pictured me, then, if I may ask?

[carabina]

Well...

[ She's trying to find the right way to word it. She bows her head, just in case she offends him in anyway. ]

If you don't mind me saying, a little smaller and less scruffy. [ Well, he wasn't that scruffy, but the statues of him certainly did not look anything like this man. ]

[macedonian]

[But Rider simply laughs loudly and jovially]

Ha! Yet another! Yes, this seems to be a popular misconception... I'm not sure why I had biographers following me at all, if this were the result!

[But he smiles, all friendliness] It is a fair one, for it seems a bit of perspective had been lost through the years. I was a smaller person when I lived, compared to the people around me. We all stood much taller then. But for the other... That one I cannot explain!
