OLIVER
The blonde laughed and shook his head. "Believe me, I would go as crazy as you...okay, maybe not as much as an acrobat, but you should've seen me during LongNight! I was so stressed out over being cooped up indoors that I started punching a bag of flour. Flour, Harper." He made sure to be over dramatic, clearly making fun of himself in a lighthearted manner. Oliver hardly even knew Harper and yet he already felt so comfortable around him. Hopefully things would remain that way.
The information was a lot and Oliver was surprised that Harper seemed to be taking it so well. He hadn't really asked for any more detail, or not really at least. He'd try to provide a small bit more, hopefully. "Well, I can tell you for sure that you are not an Ascended. Like I said, they're sexy vampires and you don't have any fangs." That didn't mean much for the other options. At least Oliver knew that Harper wasn't a hybrid since nobody showed up as a hybrid as far as he were aware.
"The other three are....a bit more tricky. For me it took...gods, like, a solid few weeks for me to even know that I'm an Abandoned- so I mean, you don't really have a real rush. Magic can be obvious or it can spring out of nowhere." The way he spoke was calm, gentle, but not patronizing. Like he was relaxed and at peace. Oliver understood this and he had no problem explaining it: everything was fine and that it would be okay if Harper didn't know or if Harper ended up finding out then and there. "I don't know what it's like to be an attuned, but I suggest you reach out. See if you feel something, see if you can turn into an animal...and then try?" That's kinda similar to how Loren helped him with his own magic.
