OLIVER
He messed up. Oliver felt embarrassed as he was scolded yet again. Jigano had warned him to be careful with his assumptions, to watch what he said. Many others had as well. Wessex, Phoebe, and so many other individuals had told him to watch what he said, to not make assumptions. And here it was, biting him right in the ass.
There was only so little he could do to recover from this, or so little he could really think of. Had this been a mistake? No. No it hadn't. If he failed then so be it, he would've learned from it. Oliver needed to grow up and understand that success isn't always going to happen and that he needed to face his problems rather than hide away through alcohol or other means. There was still things to be done, otherwise Safrin would've left him by now.
"I may not know as much right now, but I am willing to learn. I know of others who don't want to learn or don't want to go out of their comfort zone, but I am willing to learn. I want to know the truth about you so I can share others the stories and information about you. Pardon my lack of fancy words, but I am willing to be taught. I know that I am more ignorant than others, but I am also more willing to make myself available to knowledge." Jigano had showed that he didn't want to associate with Safrin. That he had lost all trust with the goddess. Oliver, however, wanted to learn. He wanted to trust Safrin and not be ignorant.
"What I know is that you are wise, Safrin. You are far more wise than I or many others in Caido. You are strong. Those are both admirable traits that I wish I had. Allow me to learn, to tell others about you. To share my newly gained wisdom." Time to see if she'd be willing to allow him to learn. Oliver wanted to learn, to understand more about her.
