OLIVER
The joke earns a small smile on Oliver's face, but he remains quiet, choosing to listen to what the Headmaster has to say. While she does explain things well, there is a small pit forming in his stomach. Is... perfecting his magic through school really the way to go? The thing that really makes him almost regret coming is one of her comments in specific. Arrange room and board. Oliver... really doesn't want to stay in Halo. He couldn't remember Loren ever mentioning such a stipulation. Halo was cold, unforgiving, and not something Oliver wanted to seek out.
Offering her a warm smile, Oliver hoped that his inner conflict wouldn't be seen. "Thank you, Headmaster, for your precious time." Perhaps if she had stayed longer, been there to answer his questions... maybe then he would've chosen to stay. But for now?
Oliver would leave, choosing to not join the Academy afterall. Besides, there's more in store for him than magic school... right?

Isn't it amazing
How we can never tell
Who is in an identical hell
