You make my heart shake bend and break
It isn't long, not at all... a week is hardly enough time to say his goodbyes. "Oh- well... thank you... when we got the water it went super bad... so I didn't really have time to process anything that was going on." The only people around him were Ascended and they were all hurt, some more than others. It was terrifying and he could still feel the terror even now.
There's a nod of understanding and Oliver takes a step closer. "I could help you find him? If you'd like... though, I don't think he'd be all the way out here... I know I really hated water when I was sick." His voice trails off and he glances out to the ocean. "What brings you out here anyways? Why the ocean in specific?" She had been saying something when he arrived, but he didn't quite make it out. His curiosity was piqued and he was willing to listen to whatever she had to say.
Her sympathy isn't strong, not in his opinion. Then again, he really can't blame her. Dealing with sick people is hard enough. "It's... fine." It really and truly wasn't fine, not at all. "I hope that we can find a cure before it's too late... I don't want us to lose anyone to this sickness and if we can do something before they die then... that's what is most important." His words were soft and he was afraid. Oliver didn't want to die, not now. The safety of others was far more important than that, especially when so many people he cared about were probably suffering.
