OLIVER
A sheepish smile appears on the blonde's face and all he can do is offer a small shrug towards Loren. This may not be what Loren is used to, but Oliver isn't embarrassed, not at all. Yeah, he probably should have remembered that Loren wasn't a major fan of the arts and turned down any attempt to make him do anything artistic, but Oliver was motivated.
Despite the man's next comment, Oliver wasn't deterred. Loren had taken the brunt of the monster attack, so he obviously wasn't doing too hot. He seemed extremely annoyed, but Oliver ignored it, still trying to put on a happy face. "Bastien basically said that we should do art! For the myth." Did Loren dislike Bastien? Probably. Loren seemed to hate the most random of people. Oliver had never bothered to ask why Remi and Loren were so awkward around each other, but he probably should have at some point. Oh well....
"Listen. I know you don't like art, but I think this'll be good for us....for you. So just- hear me out here." He held up his hands, hoping that Loren wouldn't immediately leave or force him to clean everything up. Oliver wanted a chance, that's all. "Art may not be your thing...but I'd really like it if you could paint with me. It'll help get your mind off of things...." His voice trailed off and he offered the man a faint smile.
"All I want is to make art. That's it. And in return, I'll do whatever you want me to do. I'll clean the entire manor or I'll cook dinner or whatever you want. Just do this for me. Please."
