The emotions reflecting through the blonde's eyes are heartbreaking. His eyes soften and any hint of a smile fully disappears. What could he even say to that? The reveal of Jigano's belief that Remi wouldn't want to be alive, seeing as he absolutely was. "I want to help him... he was there for me when I first arrived and I owe him for that." He was Oliver's savior and he owed him his entire life. His eyes drifted away and he nodded. Yes. The scrap metal would have to work.
Moving over to the boxes, his hand laid down on one of them and his fingers tapped nervously. "And if the Atheneum burnt down? We'd only have one copy of each book, it sounds like." It really did sound like Jigano thought this would be a detriment to, well, everything. Letting out a soft sigh, his hand nervously ran through his hair. "Sorry, forget the book idea. It was stupid." Seeing as Jigano didn't think it was necessary and he was literally the keeper of all knowledge... he was probably right. Why make books if nobody would read them, why make more books when they already had enough.
Grasping for one of the final boxes that caught his eye, Oliver brought it up to the surface, now far more silent than before. "Just this last crate should do..." He held it out for Jigano to take away from him. Honestly, he didn't need a lot of the stuff and unless Jigano could find a purpose, Oliver saw no reason to bring it with him. "And the Ascended? I don't know... what if they're in danger? She has them following her every order and I don't want her to kill them.... what if she thinks they're merely replaceable? Completely expendable? I don't want anyone to get hurt by her choices and if anyone is going to get hurt, it's the Ascended."
