OLIVER
To stare at a man who reflected back very little emotion was challenging to say the least. Oliver was so used to being able to read people, to simply pick up on tone of voice, their facial expression, or little actions they did. Deimos, however, refrained from pretty much all of that. He held back and let Oliver know little to nothing about how his mind was processing things. Whether that helped him to deal with his issue would be hard to tell.
Deimos' suggestion earned a wide-eyed expression from Oliver. What the hell was he insinuating? That Oliver had purposefully tried to hurt Amun? How the hell else was he supposed to wield illusions? Oliver knew he needed to control it, that much he could agree with. But with everything else he disagreed strongly.
"How else do you suggest I use my illusions? Other than to defend myself?" His mind reflected back to a conversation with Loren. A man who saw little need for using magic for anything beautiful, rather, it should be used for helpful things. "I was told that magic should be used to be useful. How can illusions be helpful other than for protection? Honestly to me it sounds like I should just continue to use telekinesis like I always have and just ignore my illusion magic entirely." That was a perfect solution, honestly. If he never used it, nobody would get hurt. Simple.
