OLIVER
The faintest flicker of a smile appeared on his face once Sam showed an understanding. "Yeah, so I try to mostly keep a positive attitude. Doing so has really helped me to establish myself here." He offered his new companion a smile, trying to show that he was trying his best to be happy and positive. Why should he purposefully go somewhere he knew he'd be miserable?
There was a soft hum and Oliver shook his head. "Well... kind of? It's like... I remember a ton of skills, like I know kind of how to bake and I've really developed my sewing and art skills, but there's something there. Like.... something I can feel in the back of my head. I know it's there but it just wont click." It was the best way to describe it. He obviously knew how to tie his shoes, get dressed, and speak, but there were some things he just forgot.
A new flame seemed to light up in his eyes and he visibly grew more excited and happy. That's right! Jigano had mentioned a bookkeeper, this must be him! Oliver had genuinely missed sitting down and reading for joy, rather than to cram and learn things. It was hard to suppress his excitement over this newfound knowledge. "I'd really like to do that! What kinds of books do you have? Do you have any narrative pieces? Or are most things informational." Oliver could remember some of the tales he were told as a child and he'd love to just be immersed in a new world, to momentarily escape from his worries and stress.
