OLIVER
Her reaction was sharp and quick, but not unheard of. There was a sense of fear to her and how she responded, showing a sense of high alert. Oliver really couldn't blame her and was actually a small bit impressed with this. When he first arrived, he had been very dazed and even when he saw others arrive, they tended to be on the calmer side. Her? She was in a fighting stance, which would do her some good in Caido.
Stopping, he made sure to watch her carefully, but tried to maintain eye contact as best as he could. "You are in the Hollowed Ground which is in Caido." Answer the question first then try and negotiate, it would hopefully make it far easier to get her to trust him or really do what he said. "Would you like to sit down? It's a lot to talk about." Otherwise, he'd be content with how things were. Allow her to feel like she still had power, which would hopefully alleviate any stress. Really, Oliver wanted to get through this as quickly and easily as possible. If all went well: the girl would get all of her questions answered, a place to stay, and everyone in this scenario would be unharmed.
