OLIVER
There's a light shrug. "I hope so.... I've wanted to help him ever since I first arrived... and he's never really accepted any of my help. Ever." Oliver just wanted to be useful. To show his worth and make Loren realize that he wasn't a free-loader, just using the manor and all of Loren's resources. He had to repay the man somehow, but it's hard to when he refuses any attempt to do so. Unfortunately, things don't get too much better with Harper either who seems to almost completely misunderstand his offer. It's better than nothing, but not quite what he wanted. "I can help you learn. I mean...I suck myself, but hey, who knows, maybe we could create something great together. I'd really like to cook something for you, it'd be fun... I'd offer today but I don't have any fresh meat or anything." Oliver wouldn't mind doing all the work, especially if it means that Harper is happy and impressed and that he looks at Oliver as someone who has something nice and- yeah...
The topic of gods is a comfortable one, sort of. It makes Oliver happy that Harper had such a fantastic experience and that he too has a deep appreciation for Safrin. It isn't surprising that his friend has met Jigano, so it's nice that he will finally have someone to ask for information. "Jigano really dislikes Safrin, but he knows a lot about Ludo. Should know a small bit about Frey too." He should probably warn Harper about that, seeing as Jigano has a strong hatred for the goddess, meaning it's hard to really speak about her at all without hearing that she's rude and to never speak to her. Or something.
With a soft sigh, Oliver shifts slightly, sitting up a bit more. Might as well be partially honest. "I... I really messed up with Frey. I went to them for something that was super minor and honestly, super petty. Like...fuck was it bad. And I mean, Frey didn't like it." Was it a curse? Was being permanently altered a curse? This was the first time Oliver had ever mentioned this incident, which was clear by his struggle to actually put it into words.
He was happy to become an animal after telling Harper about the incident. It would be a nice distraction from his major fuck up and hopefully, Harper would completely forget about it. First, he decided to go for the easy and less exciting option. Shifting, a small woodpecker appeared on the ground. Fluttering his wings, Oliver tried to show off his colors to Harper, letting out a couple of tweets as he did so. Gotta start out small before bringing it home with the grand finale.
