OLIVER
People filed in and Oliver did receive a couple of glances here or there, but nothing to particularly note of, really.
Wessex took the stage and started what seemed to be a well rehearsed speech. Some of it, he knew of, while other parts were new and unfamiliar, where it was either brand new or things he only heard bits and pieces of. Either way, he listened with open ears, ignoring any distractions that came from around him.
One thing that severely put Oliver off was Wessex refusing to answer any questions. While others may have already formed opinions, Oliver hadn't fully decided on his quite yet. He wanted to ask for clarification and see Wessex's opinion on particular things. However, she seemed to be adamant about not answering anything as she soon left. The frown was evident on his face, but it soon morphed into curiosity when a very familiar voice rang through the room. Yet again, he was posed with new information, conflicting at times. He had formed opinions and he could easily be biased, thanks to Loren being so kind to him in the past.
There were ideas he had, but he was wary as he had only been there for a short time. Would his opinions and ideas really matter? Thanks to being at the front of the room, it wouldn't be too hard for at least Loren to hear him. He spoke loud and kept his eyes on Loren, hoping that his voice would at least be carried a few rows back. "Wessex spoke of creating a council, but had no information on how it'd be created. She said that she would be creating it, so how can we trust that it will be fully unbiased? A council is meant to put the person in power in check, but if the person in power creates it, it's just an even bigger thing for those who oppose her to fight against." It was a jumble of words and it was obvious that he hadn't practiced. It was a question that would be asked to the Queen, but of course, she left.
"We need to make sure there are people that have different backgrounds, maybe even different views entirely, to help make sure an action really is the best for us...I mean, I don't like the fact that she kept a lot of this a secret or at least decided it without seemingly asking anyone. I'm sorry for making assumptions, but it's hard not to when she refuses to answer questions at this time."
