OLIVER
Oliver couldn't agree more on that sentiment. "Honestly, I don't blame you. You're lucky you missed out on Longnight...it....it wasn't great. It was a week of absolute darkness, nothing else. We had to stay inside to be safe, and well...I couldn't stand being inside for that long. I had to do something constantly after a while, otherwise I felt like I was going to explode." Oliver was sure Harper was the same, especially considering that he was once an acrobat. Someone like that must be active and no way would Harper enjoy being cooped up for so long.
To look on Harper's face as he tasted the bread was all Oliver needed. It let him know that he had done good: Harper liked it. With a smile forming on his own face, Oliver listened to Harper speak. "I'll have to let the baker know you like it." The baker would surely enjoy knowing that yet another person enjoyed his baked goods. Oliver would have to shelve that idea away, remembering that Harper enjoyed it.
It's funny to see that Harper seemed far more restrained. Back when he had first arrived, Oliver asked tons and tons of questions. Maybe they were different types of people, or maybe it was because one had a complete set of memories, while the other didn't. That didn't really matter, though, Oliver was ready to help prepare Harper for his new life.
"Well...I guess I'll just start explaining, if you ever have a question, let me know." He paused for a second as he contemplated what to start with. Clapping his hands together, Oliver wrapped up his half of the loaf and placed it down on his lap.
"Okay...so the basics I guess? Well, here in the Hollowed Grounds, there are multiple different races. It doesn't really matter what you were before as things are completely different here. The races are Accepted, Attuned, Abandoned, and Ascended. The accepted have no magical abilities, but the gods like...love them. Attuned can turn into animals. The abandoned are capable of doing all kinds of magical abilities...then the ascended are kinda like vampires? But sexy vampires." Woah that was a lot. Oliver took a deep breath and waited for at least some sort of response. "Oh yeah, people can be more than one? Like...you can be both abandoned and attuned."
