[the extremely happy and carefree disposition that's 'plagued' him has finally worn away, and he's thinking clearly now. so clearly in fact, he's wandering deeper into the forest and uses the excuse of having more of the planet to explore to keep himself from running into anyone else

[he's been evaded! thankfully, Oliver's curiosity is under control now, so he'll let him off]

You always say that.

Anyway...see the problem now? I...oh... [pauses, adds nervously] Lara's contacted me.

[ollie should've expected that!]

I say it because it's true.

Did she? Do go on.

[shuts down their connection for a few moments, then brings it back up, his expression pensive and sad; when he speaks, it's a little too flat]

She's gone now. She's not mad at me.

[waits patiently. he takes the time to jog through the forest and can finally see the flowers in the distance]

For someone who has fairly good news, you have a very dour way of expressing yourself, Ollie.

Re: filtered;

[oliverplus]

[frowns, still thinking about what just happened] But she should be mad at me. She...she tried to apologize to me, Doctor!

[stares at him for a moment]

You're going to have to help me here. I'm failing to see how this is a bad thing.

[is quiet for a moment, then shakes his head, although his tone isn't quite right] No, it isn't, is it?

[forces a smile] Okay, I'm gonna go dry off, Doctor. I'll talk to you later.

Hang on, Ollie. Do you want me to come find you? I'm nearly out of the forest.

Re: filtered;

[oliverplus]

[shakes his head; his mind is obviously elsewhere] No, that's okay. See you later, Doctor. [shuts off his sphere]
