OLIVER
The theory and concept of having two races wasn't exactly unfamiliar to Oliver. He had met plenty of people who had been cursed to become an Abandoned and heard of those gifted with the ability of the Attuned. For some reason, though, it never really occurred to him that this was a valid option: that he could become an Attuned. At least, it hadn't until Jigano mentioned it to him. This realization sparked something inside of Oliver. It was something he wanted to do: something that felt like he was made to do it. It sounded perfect and it had become a brand new goal for Oliver.
After restless sleeps and constant inner battles with himself, Oliver finally decided he'd try. The gods had never answered to his prayers, but he understood why now. They had lacked trust in the Abandoned and that was fine, he could prove to them slowly that he could be trusted. As well, sometimes his prayers were for small things, so small that they most likely had bigger or far more important things to worry about. On the inside, he still held a small bit of resentment, but now he was starting to reconcile with this.
Jigano had been wary of Safrin, but something simply felt so right about seeing her. Maybe it was Sunjata's good experience or maybe it was his fear of Frey and Ludo, but he had chosen her as the person to seek out for guidance, to maybe allow him to join the Attuned.
He had prepared a basket filled with a wide variety of items to offer. Within the basket was a bottle of wine, fresh bread, a potted flower, a star necklace, and a flower crown that he had tried to make on his own. It was a mix-match of items but he had chosen each one carefully in hopes that maybe the goddess would appreciate them.
Oliver had chosen a time where hopefully nobody would walk in and interrupt. Kneeling down, Oliver gently placed the basket in front of him, making sure that each item looked presentable. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, his heart pounding in his ears.
"Wise Safrin, I ask you for your time. Guide me. I promise that I will not betray you if you come to me. I desire...to change. To become something great that others will accept me for." It wasn't quite the right wording he had been searching for, but it was good as he could considering how nervous he was.
