and yes i've been changing. for me, not for you
The moment he hears the man speak, everything is explained. His eyes grow soft and his shoulders relax. While he is still prepared for the man to attack, he already understands exactly why he was found like this. He just arrived. Fuck.
It was never a fun thing to explain. Everyone always seemed to arrive at the exact wrong moment. It was a terrifying experience that Oliver could hardly relate to, but he knew he had to do something. This worked twice before so... let's hope it does the same this go around.
"You are not dead, trust me... why do you think you are?" There is a raise of his eyebrow and Oliver crouches down, allowing the man to get a better look at him. It was better to be on equal ground than staring at the man like a vulture. "Can you describe to me what happened before you came here? If Eloise was fine before you came then I can assure you: she is absolutely okay." That much would hopefully help the man to settle down, but obviously, Oliver hadn't answered the most important question.
It may be rushing, but hopefully, it'd be the right move. "You were brought through a portal to Caido."
