OLIVER
Oliver was about to begin working on his basket once more, content with the response given to him by Amun, when the man continued speaking...and he stopped. His hands pushed the basket away and Oliver turned to look at Amun, giving the man all of his attention. He wasn't sure what all Amun was about to tell him, but the tone of voice alone was enough to make Oliver get serious. This was something important and Amun deserved an immense amount of respect during this time.
And what he heard shattered him. While he was trying his best to not have feelings for Amun, he couldn't help but be worried and saddened. Amun had been an absolute dick, but he didn't deserve to be permanently hurt because of this.
Swallowing hard and taking a deep breath, Oliver tried to maintain eye contact with Amun, if the man would allow it and look towards him. "Amun...can you sit with me for a bit?" If the man would sit down, great, but Oliver would speak no matter what his decision was. Allowing the man time to sit down if he chose, Oliver waited before speaking once more.
"I'm sorry...a lot of your injury is my fault...and I want to help you where possible...you are so strong Amun and I know that you can overcome this... and I'm sorry for being insensitive or not asking if you were okay." There was a lot to say and he couldn't properly convey it, forcing himself to let out a jumbled up mess of words. "There's still so much to do and I know you're going to do great things...and I'll be here to help you if you ever need anything."
