and yes i've been changing. for me, not for you
As his ears transformed, Oliver watched Rance's face, looking into his eyes and searching for any facial expressions he would make. It wasn't a surprise that Rance seemed taken aback and Oliver was far from offended by his response. The man's hands slowly reached up and Oliver nodded and leaned forward a bit, hoping to show him that it would be okay- and it seemed his message was sent. Delicate hands reached and grasped at his ears, something that Oliver smiled at and suppressed laughter.
The touch was momentary and soon, Rance was returning back to normal, now explaining far more than Oliver could ever imagine. As it turned out...Rance was an actual raven... or he once was, before coming here. Or... he was also a human? It was unclear and Oliver certainly seemed both surprised and overwhelmed. His eyes were wide, ears straight up (since he hadn't shifted back) and mouth ever so slightly agape.
Once he finally found the words to speak, they came out with little confidence, displaying a new side of Oliver. He wasn't disgusted, far from it, just clearly surprised. He had never dealt with anything like this before. "How- how did you become a human? Before coming through the portal? I was fully human before I came here- Safrin gifted me the ability to turn into animals." He had to clarify, but even then, his voice was quiet. "I'm sorry if I've offended you- I've just... I've never heard of something like this before." It would be clear to probably anyone that Oliver was mostly confused. Overwhelmed.
