OLIVER
Not many people were this good at reading his body language or if they were, they never acted or spoke about it. Harper on the other hand seemed comfortable with dealing with it. As Harper's hand made contact with his, Oliver glanced down slightly before turning to look back into Harper's eyes, a smile spread across his face. To hear those kind words warmed Oliver's heart. It was really the least he could do, but it was nice to know his small actions had meant so much to him. "I can assure you, you wont be alone. Hell, you'll probably want to get rid of me in a couple more weeks." He laughs faintly at his attempt at a joke. It wasn't hard to tell that Oliver did care for Harper, at least enough to want him to be safe.
Harper does have a small point, whatever the hell he had been doing could easily count as a hobby. Oliver doesn't dwell on the thought too much, instead, he focuses on Harper's answer to his question. It's a good sign that Harper is willing to answer questions and the story he has to tell is an entertaining one, certainly. It's descriptive enough for Oliver to picture it and it gives him a window into what was part of Harper. It isn't surprising to hear that it's back from his acrobatic days or hell, even before then. When he was a youngling. Harper seemed to be the sort to have an interest in animals, but to go into a tigers cage? Oliver isn't sure if he'd even do that today, let alone as a child.
"Very valid reasons for liking those two animals." There's a grin on his face as he speaks. If they kept this up, his cheeks would be hurting by that night! Seeing as he's smiling so much.
There's a hum as Oliver drifts off, looking away slightly. "Well...I unfortunately don't really have much of a story, but I think my favorite animal is the hummingbird...that could be because I have a tattoo of it, but they're also fantastic little things. They're so small and yet so powerful. I've never actually seen a real one for myself, but I know I've seen fake ones, yeah." There's a nod as he concludes his...story? Whatever that was. It answered his question, that's for sure.
"You've talked about acrobatics and stuff so pleasure me with this: Do you have any fun talents? Or weird talents?" Ah yes, the proof that Oliver was trying to stray a bit away from the boring old 'what's your favorite fruit' kind of question. Yeah, he'd like to know Harper's favorite flower, but he needs to know the fun stuff. At least until Harper gets tired with him.
