OLIVER
It was obvious that Aisha’s emotions were complex, but her ability to joke was a good thing. ”Well... it makes me very happy to hear that.” Aisha was so confident in the idea that her mother would’ve loved him. It’s honestly kinda shocking, Oliver never really saw himself as anything super amazing that one would report home about. It was always strange when someone mentioned hearing about him- it made him feel all sorts of things that he couldn’t really explain. In this moment, it was far more positive. It... kinda felt nice.
A soft sigh escapes his lips and he shakes his head. ”You have nothing to feel bad about... you can be as closed off as you’d like, really. So long as you’re handling your emotions in a healthy way it’s fine. I... I don’t want you to get hurt.” What he was hinting at went completely unspoken simply because he didn’t want to acknowledge it. He didn’t want to speak the idea into existence.
Shifting the subject ever so slightly, Oliver continued. ”I don’t think any of us knew this would ever happen. It’s very strange and you’re not alone. We all handle this stuff differently.” Oliver knew he was blessed in this sense: he didn’t have initial memories to think about. Nothing to miss or regret.
”Are you... proud of what you’ve done so far since coming here? How do you feel about what’s happened so far?”
