Pre-θ 8 - Forgiveness

[ooc: Before the Recursive Mind plot.]

[his shoulder twinges slightly, making him wince every now and then from the pain emanating from the wound every time he moves his arm in any single way. he really wishes it would just hurry up and heal; he rather likes having full range of motion for both arms. after checking the bar, he figured that it's either the library or the kitchen that he should check next but he decides to be contrary to such thoughts on the off-chance that Oliver didn't go there and headed to the forest instead. and that's where he is now, dodging branches and listening to the river burbling softly off in the distance.

well...he's listening for anything, really: the rustle of leaves, the crunching of twigs underfoot, anything.

and on the off-chance that anything making those noises hears him in any way, he decides to speak while he keeps an eye out for any movement. his voice is in its normal timbre but with a touch of gentleness in its tone.]


Ollie, if you can hear me--and I really hope you do otherwise this would sound incredibly silly and ridiculous--I need you to listen. I mean, it's not like I don't talk out loud to myself half the time anyway, but it's always nice that someone's on the receiving end of things I've got to say. Like now, for instance.

Hopefully just from the sound of my voice and my being here is enough. I'm all right, just like I said I'd be. But the one thing I didn't check before I left was how well you were. I need you to see that everything is all right--and that you can come home. That's why I'm here, speaking to the trees and flowers and the river nearby, and if you're not here, I'll go entertain an entire library of books next. Maybe I ought to have gone there first, but I kind of had a feeling you might not have gone there for any particular long length of time, not after those creatures had invaded.

I want you to come home, Ollie.

[fidgets awkwardly, avoiding that Look] Can we go back to Lun?
oliverplus: (Thoughtful)

[self-consciously wipes some bits of plant off his shirt] I'll take a shower first.
oliverplus: (Looking)

[personal profile] oliverplus 2011-04-01 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[blinks, genuinely surprised that the Doctor is (seemingly) letting him off the hook] Okay, sure. I'll be back soon.

[turns to hurry off before the Doctor changes his mind]
oliverplus: (Small Smile)

[so suspicious, Doctor! did you think he'd try to sneak back to the Plane? Oliver knows he'd never get away with it if he did. instead, he heads off to take a shower and change, just like he said he would do. it doesn't take him long to join the Doctor in the kitchen, his hair now wet (if just as tousled) and clean clothes on] Hey.
oliverplus: (Thoughtful)

[nods and gets himself a cup before he sits down across from the Doctor. then he reaches out to pour himself a cuppa. it's easier than figuring out what to say]
oliverplus: (Pensive)

[personal profile] oliverplus 2011-04-02 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Oliver is now staring very hard at his teacup. clearly it's a very interesting teacup] I...I said a lot of things. To a lot of people. Things I didn't mean. [pauses, taking a sip of tea to cover up the fact that he's faltered. he still doesn't look up] I'm sorry, Doctor...
oliverplus: (Upset)

[personal profile] oliverplus 2011-04-02 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[looks up at him, his expression anguished] But I said that you... [trails off, shaking his head, unable to make himself repeat it] It wasn't true. You've done everything for me!
oliverplus: (Upset)

[personal profile] oliverplus 2011-04-02 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
But...! [it did. he knows it did. but he doesn't want the Doctor to know that--to think he blames him for all the horrible things that happened] It wasn't your fault! None of it was!
oliverplus: (Hope)

[personal profile] oliverplus 2011-04-02 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[looks back at the teacup, taking another sip to delay his response] I wanted to attack everybody. I...I wanted to hurt people!
oliverplus: (Pensive)

[personal profile] oliverplus 2011-04-02 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
I did! You know I did!

[fidgets] The watch.
oliverplus: (Hope)

[personal profile] oliverplus 2011-04-02 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[nods mutely. then he looks up at the Doctor--specifically, at his shoulder] You only got stabbed once.
oliverplus: (Well)

[personal profile] oliverplus 2011-04-02 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[looks away, still unwilling to meet the Doctor's gaze] The other two people you saw--did you see them break free, too? They're okay?
oliverplus: (Small Smile)

[personal profile] oliverplus 2011-04-02 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[smiles a little at that] 'Course not. That's good. [takes another sip of tea]
