OLIVER
The two had made a silent agreement of sorts to allow the situation with Frey and Abasi to rest, that there was no need to speak more on the subject. Oliver wasn't there for either of the situations so he had no reason nor any right for that matter to speak on the subject. It was a mood changer, for sure, but it didn't completely ruin the day for either of them it seemed, for Loren was actually...smiling?
It was small, but Oliver caught it and in turn, he smiled back at his friend, far bigger and more obvious. While Loren was attempting to act like this was some form of diplomacy, Oliver just saw it as his friend being kind. Oliver didn't have anything to really offer to the palace and Loren probably didn't have anything to gain from feeding him. It was a nice offer and he would gladly take it. Following along Loren, Oliver looked around as they made their journey to the kitchen.
"Have you enjoyed the palace so far? I mean...do you cook at all anymore? Do you have a favorite dish you've discovered since coming here?" Oliver clearly was trying to talk more about life in the palace rather than emotional recovery at this point. Of course Loren was still mourning the loss of Abasi so he wouldn't be overjoyed, but maybe he had something to talk about when it came to his new palace life. "How many people live here?"
