You make my heart shake bend and break
There's a playful eyeroll and Oliver shakes his head. "Okay- yeah... the Grounds are lowkey a pile of shit. There's a reason why I love visiting around- everything else is so colorful and bright and- ya know, actually has life going on. This place is just dead." Dead was one way to put it, for sure.
A small manifests when Ianto shows interest in his art. There's a sense of pride and joy that fills him. Someone is interested in his art! And they arent from the Guild! That's... kinda awesome. "Perfect! And- I don't know if the Fae are big on art either- but I know I can offer that to them along with my blacksmith stuff." While one was useful, the other provided a special thing: happiness. Yeah, it cant help you fight, but art adds joy to one's life.
Meanwhile, Oliver continues to help pack, clearly eager to get all of this done and set up his new home. "I know I'll be living just outside of their main village- but do you think if I speak with the Fae they may be willing to let me live within their village? I'd for sure offer as many services and help as I can."
