OLIVER
Oh that's the rich part. The absolutely beautiful part. To everyone but the Ascended it seemed that they were brought here for no purpose. How the hell was he supposed to explain this? "Look. That part is super complicated, but longstory short: A goddess was trapped. She brought us here to free her, but then even after she was freed, people still kept coming. We think it's just a carry over of that." That's the most he could say because, well, that's all he knew. Even he had asked once if there were further nefarious reasons to keep bringing them, but from what everyone knew: it just couldn't be shut off.
The way she reacted was understandable and to be expected. Oliver couldn't blame her so he tried to not take any of her words to heart. People say odd things when stressed or afraid. "Would I have any reason to lie to you? No. How about you ask me anything, tell me what it takes for me to prove to you that I'm not lying and I will do my very best to fulfill it. I can show you magic, animal shifting, or a number of other things that this world holds. Whatever will help you to feel calm, I'll try to do it."
