You make my heart shake bend and break
The offer to Wessex is cut short when Amun comes on by. Staring at the man, he tilts his head. "Blue... water berries?" Before he can ask for more, his attention is distracted by Amun kneeling before Wessex. His head tilts and he watches with quite an intent gaze before Amun's attention is once more changed. It seems Oliver is mostly focused on those immediately before him and is only able to notice Amalia's existence thanks to Amun bluntly pointing it out.
"Amalia? You-.... you're so bright?" She looked pretty bright, since that is what Amun said she was here to do... and then all hell broke loose.
Water droplets cascaded down from the ceiling and Oliver's eyes widened, his mouth opening in a gasp. His reaction is sudden and before anything can happen. He shifts into his bird shift and immediately flies off to the side, landing own and trying to hide himself from the water. Wings try to cover his head and his face, but that only does so little.
Through the feathers he sees everything. Bastien's hair catching fire- it has to be fake. It has to be.
Shifting back into his human form, Oliver finds himself stumbling on over to Bastien's side. His head feels cloudy and it's a mess- but he has to help his friend before figuring out what the fuck was going on. His movements were harsh and it was obvious Oliver was exhausted. He wants to reach for Bastien but doesn't- no- instead he stops a short bit away from the Ascended.
"Bastien, are you there? Please, speak with me.... is there a unicorn nearby?" The latter was addressed to the crowd. Unicorns helped... right?
