and yes i've been changing. for me, not for you
Ah..... shit.
That really complicated things.
”Ill explain in a moment, I just need.... to figure out how to explain this to you.”
Another sigh left Oliver and he ran a hand through his hair. Then the man went on to explain more. Oliver would allow the man to finish saying everything he felt like letting out before truly explaining what the fuck was going on.
There was a girl, someone who mattered to the man. This happened way too many times to count and honestly, it was a terrible thing to deal with. Heartbreaking, really. Oliver couldn’t quite relate, but he absolutely missed his family now that he could remember them. But to go straight from someone you love to a new world? Ouch.
Finally the floor was now his- Er- not quite.
Standing right back up because they’re doing that now, Oliver made sure both of his hands were in full view. No tricks. Nothing.
”Okay, so.... a portal, like a magical one, took you from your old world to here. Think of it like a door. You entered through the door into here...” Okay. So far so good. Just don’t mention that he cant go back.... gotta mention the whole blood shit first. ”The reason you don’t have a heartbeat is that you’re an Ascended.... when we come through the portal we often change. We gain new abilities. You now don’t age, don’t breath, and you don’t have blood like a human.... if you had vampires: that’s what you are.” So much was said in one massive go and Oliver can only imagine what the man must be thinking.
Then a great idea dawned in his mind. Spreading his arms open with palms out, Oliver offered him a nod. ”If you still think you’re dead, feel my heartbeat.” That should do the trick.... yeah? If the man would take up the offer, he would feel a steady heart beat, ever so slightly faster than normal. He was relatively calm, that much was clear.
