OLIVER
That look in Harper's eyes...damn. "I'd like to see how tough you are. I'm down. Next time you see me, ask. More than likely, I'll be available and down." Oliver speaks confidently, but also a bit challenging. Like he's testing Harper, pushing him to see just how far he's willing to go. Oliver isn't exactly sure what the other man has in store, but just judging by the way he spoke and the many visual things Oliver had picked up on: this was going to be great.
Once Harper had ripped off the portion of bread he wanted, Oliver resumed with taking a bite out of his now much smaller piece. He was fine and had a stable source of food. Until Harper got to a place he could rest, the same most likely wouldn't be the same. Harper's safety and hunger was far more important to Oliver. "There ya go then. I really....I really like that life mission. It's a good one to live by. Be as happy as you can and honestly, it'll make others happy as well. I know you've already made my day." The look in Oliver's eyes shows how honest he really is being, as is the smile on his face. Oliver meant every word that he said and more.
"I hope that this can prove to be a nice place for you, then." It hurt Oliver to know that Harper might not have lived a happy life prior to this, only motivating him even more to make this new life even better for the other man. Oliver knew that there was much he could do to help Harper and there was nothing holding him back from carrying out each of those things. Harper deserved happiness and Oliver would make sure of it. It wasn't that he was picking favorites, he really would help out anyone who appeared at the Spire, he just happened to run into Harper on this faithful day.
Oh yeah. Helping him out. "Ah well, you know how you said people are really nice here? Some people are dicks. Like, major ones. I personally haven't really met any, but some people are like super stubborn and rude. There's one that I've heard of and yeesh, she hasn't been seen in a long time. Just uh...be careful I guess?" Oliver didn't want Harper to think everyone was all happy and constantly nice, but he also didn't want Harper to think that everyone was rude. Honestly, there were far more kind people than rude ones.
"Honestly, there is more you should know? But how about you tell me more about yourself. This is now a free time for you to ask questions, let out whatever you want to say. Hell, you can even ask me questions about myself if you really want." Open floor time? Open floor time.
