and yes i've been changing. for me, not for you
This would be a lot to take in, for sure, and Oliver could only hope the guy would be okay. Losing someone so close to you and knowing you'll never see them again was an awful feeling. It was like someone dying, something Oliver had, unfortunately, had to deal with himself more recently. If the man accepted his offer of staying in the manor, then Oliver would be able to ensure he properly transitioned and didn't do anything stupid or drastic.
For the first time since they started talking, a smile broke out on Oliver's face and he simply offers a shake of his head. "No payment... by the way, we don't even use money here... think of it like... I do you a favor and you do me a favor? Or even just bartering." It was honestly cute that the guy's only objection was not being able to afford it... it was nice to see a different side of the guy. One that wasn't aggressive or angry. Rather, he seemed almost open.
His name for himself was... a unique one, but people came from different backgrounds. "I guess you are.... there's a lot more to you now as well, but I'd rather take this at your place... do you have any questions for me? I don't want to unload a ton of information on you." Even though he already had and that went over so well.
