Hearing about the Gods felt like a lot to handle and certainly something he'd have to get used to...but he also felt more comfortable with the knowledge. Knowing that there were official people out there and something he could confidently believe in. It made him feel sure of something for one of the first times since arriving to this land, that there was something that he could be absolutely positive about. It felt great. "So, what do we do with these gods? Other than believe in them?" He could assume that people prayed to them, but really he wanted more information. His attempts to pry more information out of the two would probably be very obvious, but he couldn't help it. Oliver wanted something that he could be absolutely confident about.
The rest of the answers didn't really reassure him. Sure, he got some more vague information, but nothing made Oliver feel confident or truly comfortable. The most he could say was that he knew for sure he wasn't an ascended....which really isn't much. Taking a long drink of his tea, he set the mug back down before shedding of the blanket. "Yeah...trust me I can feel heat." It was a small joke, one that made him crack a smile. The combination of the tea and fire had led to Oliver's entire body warming back up. It felt great.
As Sunjata told the story of the woman, he nodded and listened intently, watching him with careful eyes. It made Oliver worry, but he tried not to show it on the inside. What if he never knew what he could do? Would that change how he lived his life? He could only hope that all the answers would come soon, very soon. Oliver wanted to establish his new life. Get things figured out.
"I guess i'm probably like you, huh? Boring and simple...not that you're boring!" Calling Sunjata boring felt horribly rude, leading to Oliver attempting to retract the statement. It wouldn't be too bad to be like that. Sure, magic sounded great. He even saw what it could do with his own eyes. Same goes for turning into animals. Imagine the freedom it could bring! But still, he was alright with his current situation. Oliver could just lead his new life as a boring, normal person without worrying about all those extra bits...
"So...what do I do now?" He reached down to pick up the mug, but instead of bringing it up to his lips he merely started to tap on it the sides with his fingers. "I...I know about the gods and the monsters...and the guilds and you know, the different types of people." Saying it all together felt like a lot of information, absolutely. "I didn't die of being too cold so...what's next? Where do I go now or what do I do?" Oliver felt as though he would be told to follow his own path or some bullshit like that, but Oliver wanted more. He wanted to be assigned a task or something, to have a clear path ahead of him.
Maybe that's what scared him the most, being unsure of what was next or having no idea who he even was. He knew no one and he didn't even know himself.
