OLIVER
Loren was the second person to say that to him. That him trying to live a happy life was a bad thing. With his eyes looking far away from Loren, he shrugged. "I'm fixing it, don't worry. Trying to not be so annoying and overly happy." Loren only wanted the best for him and if he was being annoying them fine. He could fix it.
What he couldn't fix, and what he couldn't hide, was the issue that Loren so kindly pointed out. The most mortified look appeared on Oliver's face. He was far from embarrassed, no, he looked like he was going to throw up at any moment. His stomach ached and his face become flush white, nearly the same color as his hair. Swallowing hard, he trying his best to adjust the coat, realizing now it was far too late.
"It's not you, trust me. I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable." His voice was quieter and had lost any punch it once had. It was as if he had been kicked multiple times and was struggling to speak through pain. "I....was cursed...." He couldn't even look Loren in the eye, his eyes far distant, staring off towards the window.
