OLIVER
Oh, so Harper was a teacher. And not just any teacher: someone who taught combat. Deimos would hopefully be strongly interested, seeing as he was the General of their...army? Militia? Whatever the hell it was. "Well, I can promise you Harper, I will absolutely come to you for training." Then there was a dramatic pause. "After you are healed back up. How's about this, next time we see each other, if I'm not dead exhausted, then we can train. Or well, you can teach me and I can make you feel better." He laughs and holds out his hand, as though he were offering the man the deal of a life time.
Oliver noticed how quickly Harper had finished off his bread and held out his half, which had hardly been eaten. Obviously, he was offering it up to Harper. "Yeah...I mean, it's not great. All you can do is try to look at it in an optimistic way. I mean...I have magic that I can hopefully learn to use to help others. Maybe my telekinesis can be used to build things faster. Transport things. Something great. If we live a life filled with negativity, can we ever truly be happy?" Wow. Someone got deeply poetic for absolutely no reason. All Oliver was trying to say was that he looked at the little, happy things in order to show that not all was lost: there was still good in this world.
Now that's the spirit Oliver wanted to see. "Just find a place to put it and then make a posting on the Notice Board. You write down where and when and soon enough, people will be willing to help ya build it! Some abandoned people can make things appear, which you can use as resources. Go to Remi or Deimos for that kinda stuff." Oh yeah, speaking of Deimos, Oliver should probably bring back up the whole training thing.
"Honestly, it'd probably be a good idea for you to meet up with Deimos and stuff. He's our General so he'd love to have you help train some people...if that's something you're interested in doing." Oliver knew that he'd be very strongly interested in learning from Harper how to fight and defend himself, so surely Deimos would enjoy having Harper around.
"You'll find that people here...are nice. Like you saw, people are willing to help you out. People like Bastien value the arts, especially performance art. The Artists Guild could always be a great place for you, if performances are what you want to do here. They can also help you learn other kinds of art as well." There's a smile to him as he speaks. Acrobatic stuff clearly brought Harper joy, Oliver could see it in his eyes.
