OLIVER
Things got super awkward when he found out that apparently, Loren left them on purpose. Why on earth would he purposefully leave stuff behind? At least some of the things could probably be of use, such as being given to someone in Halo or traded off in Halo. Oliver didn't believe in being so wasteful, even if they held bad memories. Find something good to do with it, don't simply abandon it for the object to rot. Obviously, his distaste would show ever so slightly with a crinkle of his nose, but he mostly hid it well other than that.
"You can always see what it was, just in case." Who knows, maybe Loren did accidentally leave something behind and just didn't realize it. If not, Oliver would find good use for it, but seeing as he was already here might as well try and talk a bit. No harm in chatting with his friend after not seeing him for a while.
Loren had caught on, which wasn't really a surprise. Oliver hadn't exactly hid it all that well so he could only be happy that Loren didn't have him immediately thrown out. Maybe that meant the other man was happy to see him as well? "I mean...I did want to check in with you...maybe just talk with you and I don't know, see around the palace or something? I'm... I'm not sure. Whatever you're up for." There was far more he wanted to ask for, but he knew that there were limits. Some things were better left unsaid or never requested of Loren. Oliver knew better than to push it, so he'd play it safe for now and remain within the pre-established boundaries.
