OLIVER
Oliver wasn't sure if he liked being compared to a toddler, but he knew that she wasn't wrong. A faint smile crossed his lips as he responded with a bit of a joke. "Or someone trying to ice skate for the first time." That's something he felt as though he could compare it to. Walking was something that you just learned how to do, but ice skating was something that you would seek out. Sliding around, scrambling to grab your balance, and looking like a mess. That's how he felt with the staff.
There was a sense of doubt in her voice and Oliver shrugged. "Okay, maybe I wont be super elegant, but I'll hopefully be improved in...something. I'm training now, since I know I need to protect myself." Hell, he was lucky he had run into the Queen and not someone who had ill intentions for him. Oliver had yet to meet anyone with the intention of stealing or attacking him, but there was still some worry that he had. Surely, someone would do that to him. Surely, someone would hurt him without a second thought, this world couldn't be that perfect.
Watching the Queen, he was surprised to see her actually show an interest in teaching him. An awkward look appeared on his face as he proceeded to try and mimic the Queen's stance. It made sense when she explained it, but it'd be hard to remember the specifics. To keep his arms close in. It was a mistake he had done before when he was practicing, basically leaving all his vital organs open for anyone to attack.
"What if someone has me in a lock? Would I then go for whatever I can reach and hope for the best?"
