oliver
The silence that settled between the two once Jigano explained the beasts that could have killed the man that Jigano once called a friend was deadly. It made Oliver's body ache with fear and worry. Everything was so dangerous here. If it were possible, Oliver might have considered staying cooped up inside all day, never once venturing out in fear of the dangers that the world held...but he also wanted to help others. There had to be an answer to all of this, a solution to put a stop to all this massacring. Oliver knew he could find it some day and to find it, he had to venture out into the deadly unknown.
"Are there ways to kill the Landshark? So we can stop people from dying?" Why even go to the Fields ever again anyways. Blood had been shed there before thanks to the Landshark and now even more blood tainted the ground after the disastrous festivities of Fiat Lux. It was a grave site, hardly a place for celebration.
Even if Oliver wasn't much of a singer, he was happy to change the subject to something much lighter. Anything to distract from those terrible thoughts and ideas. Offering a small smile to Jigano, Oliver cleared his throat, thought for a moment, and then started singing. His eyes never once fully landing on Jigano's, afraid of seeing any kind of reaction from the bard.
"Over in Killarney,
Many years ago,
Me mother sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
In her good old Irish way,
And I'd give the world if she could sing
That song to me this day.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Hush, now don't you cry!"
His voice trailed off and he offered a sheepish smile to Jigano. "And then it goes on, repeating the same chorus and um...yeah. It's basically just a super catchy song you sing to someone, often times to comfort them and...yeah... I was taught it I think...and then I would sing it myself since I don't think I had any other ideas on how to calm a child or how to get one to sleep." He laughed at his final comment, seeing as that's what he had assumed the reason was for him singing. Oliver knew he hadn't joined a choir or anything and that he only sang to a small crowd consisting of children.
