OLIVER
Maybe the girl didn't realize it, but Oliver knew how Ascendeds worked. So yes, he did know that magic wasn't exactly available to them in the same way it was for him. They could only do magic in short bursts and once it's done: the magic disappears and they need to drink again. Blah blah, normal ascended shit.
She moved on to hand-to-hand... and picked up a rock. Shaking his head, Oliver let out a huff of laughter. "Hand-to-hand it is... but you really don't need a rock. I was just being a small bit of a show off, sorry if I confused you." The apology was thrown in at the end to hopefully mask over the fact that he was an absolute fucking show off.
"Go ahead and make your move, I'll let you go first." Rock or no rock, Oliver was absolutely ready to fight and based on the fact that he didn't recognize her: She was new and therefore, hopefully, incapable of fighting. A lovely boost to his ego that would also maybe create a new relationship and help her in the end. Perfect.
