"So you're telling me that there's a chance." [i]Oliver laughed a little.[/i]
"I'll try, then, as long as you're alright with it. You seem to be, of course."

Edited by Splashback77: 12/16/2017 5:50:12 AM"I don't think I'm ready for another relationship, Oliver, I mean it..."
-
"I'm not forcing you into a relationship. You know that.. right? That I wouldn't do that?"
-
"I..." She fell silent.
-
[i]Oliver would keep his silence, it seemed, yet his gaze would soon return to Sarah. He was waiting on her to continue what she intended to say.[/i]
-
She just stayed silent. She still didn't know what to say.
-
"Sarah.." [i]Oliver sighed a little, yet he would still continue to keep his arm wrapped around Sarah's body, bringing her a little closer yet. He too seemed to not know what to say - granted, he seemed more concerned with whatever she wished to say.[/i]
-
She sighed, "I feel pressured, Oliver."
-
"Don't. It's alright." [i]He would respond, as he would look away and give Sarah some time.[/i]
-
She seemed very silent.
-
[i]Oliver would go silent, then, simply resting his head against Sarah's shoulder as he closed his eyes, sighing a little. It was as if he wanted to say something, yet didn't exactly feel confident about it. At all.[/i]
-
"You alright?" She asked, concerned.
-
"I'm alright, yeah.. Not that I'm against it, but are you staying over for the night? It's pretty late. I'll take the couch if you are staying by, the bed's all yours."
-
"Alright."
-
[i]Oliver smiled, nodding at that. He had an idea.[/i] "I'll go ahead and get off," [i]He would say, as he would let go of Sarah and sit upon the other side of the couch, nodding towards her.[/i] "Sweet dreams, Sarah." [i]Oh, he was plotting. Not in a bad way, but.. he did have some Christmas ideas.[/i]
-
She gave him the blanket, tucking him in. Then she would retire to his bedroom.
-
[i]Roughly a few hours later, once he had checked that Sarah was asleep, Oliver snuck out of the apartment building.[/i] -------------------------------- [i]Sarah would wake up to the smell of breakfast. A rather good smell.[/i]
-
She smelled the breakfast. "Mmm~." She got at of the bed, wearing pajama pants, and a tank top. Her hair was slightly tangled, making it bounce, a bit. Her arm tightly wrapped around a chibi plushie of Agent North Dakota.
-
"Morning, sunny." [i]Oliver smiled over, out of his typical knightly garb and now contained within a soft white tunic, alongside a pair of fittingly cobalt blue shorts. He was working on bacon, while biscuits, sausage, toast, and hot chocolate had already been finished, set for Sarah if she wished to eat.[/i]
-
"Thank you," she told Oliver. She sat down, beginning to eat.
-
"Hey, no problem. Gravy coming up in a bit. I.. have family coming over, so that's why the meal's so big. My aunt, she wished to visit me." [i]Oliver mentioned, finishing the bacon.[/i] "Hope you don't mind her. She's great a fantastic, though she's.. interesting, I guess you could say."
-
"This... will be interesting," Sarah decided.
-
"Yeah.." [i]Oliver sat down, with his own plate.[/i] "When she arrives.. she'll pray a little to her god, or rather - her mother, a deity known as Thetis. I've never been highly religious, nor do I know if you're a religious individual.. mostly because I don't know this place's beliefs too well."
-
"I'm not religious. Because I know if I die permanently I'm going to hell."
-
[i]Oliver went quiet, for a bit, as he looked up at Sarah.[/i] "...Does no god save those whom sacrificed themselves for the betterment of the people? No matter their past, as long as they pursue redemption? ...Then the gods are wrong themselves." [i]He would sigh.[/i] "If I was to die, then I already know that from this sense of 'judgment', I will suffer. I am a soldier - we both are - and we suffer soldier's fates."
-
"Oliver, there are no gods. Just asshats with a lot of power who think they're gods but have a weakness they won't tell anyone."
