OLIVER
The laughter did bring a smile to his face but it soon faded away as he spoke about his own opinions. Her reaction did make him feel a lot better, causing a warmth in his stomach. It was a weird feeling. Was it... embarrassment? Pride? He couldn't exactly tell, but it was conflicting to say the least. "I am.... I don't know if glad is the right word, but if you think I saved you.... then I'm happy I was able to be there for you." It felt weird to be happy that he saved her, narcissistic in a way. "I believe everyone deserves a chance when they come here and you deserve everything." If Oliver wasn't gay someone may say he was attempting to flirt or something stupid like that, but really he meant it as genuinely as possible.
There is a light nod and he continues on. "I guess you do have a point... I know my biggest problem is that I haven't made much progress. I may have helped you and a couple others, but I know that I need to push myself farther. I came here with magic and I need to learn how to handle it, same thing goes for the shifts I asked for." Oliver was too busy helping others that he realized he probably wasn't helping himself enough. There were ideas and he considered them, one of which would be kept quiet and reserved only for the right moment in time.
