OLIVER
It hadn't occurred to Oliver that Sam may want to be totally alone, seeing as his problem was the exact opposite. So it was to be expected that Oliver would be happy to find out that the stranger was willing to spend time with him. Friendships could come from anywhere and Oliver wouldn't turn down any company. "I understand that.... it can be loud and chaotic... it's also nice to be somewhere you feel safe, rather than the middle of the woods."
The name rang in his ears and Oliver had to hide his surprise. Was it surprise? Was it disgust? If anything showed through, he wouldn't show his negative emotions towards the other man. He knew that name. This was the natural who chose to poke a monster, the one who lost his fingers. It was a stupid move and Oliver couldn't believe that a natural would do it, but Oliver would try his best to be kind and respectful. Samuel had been nothing but kind towards him, so he would reciprocate it, even if he know viewed the man in a different light. If anything, that would mean that he'd have to do the protecting if anything went wrong. It also meant that no way was Sam going to attack him.
Reaching forward, Oliver shook the other man's hand and offered him a faint smile. "Oliver. Don't really have a last name myself, unfortunately."
