[yesterday, Oliver was finally able to banish his nightmare and sleep properly again, but one good night's sleep couldn't make up for all that deprivation, and he decides to take a nap the next afternoon, too tired to wait for nightfall. he takes the Doctor's suggestion, curling up on a padded bench on level 15, and falls into a peaceful sleep--

[Riku certainly recognizes the room. it's not too hard to at least figure out what this woman means to Oliver.

he smiles, a little. it's sad, but...

he'll keep his silence for the moment, though. let Oliver enjoy himself first]

[Riku chuckles; if anything, they're a cute pair. he feels happy for Oliver...not over the fact that she's an illusion, but that Oliver has someone to go back to.

no wonder he wants to get home] Oliver's very friendly and easy to talk to. I'm sure that's the reason so many of us know him.

[Oliver blinks. that was definitely not something he expected Riku to just come out and say] Uh...hey, thanks, Riku.

He says that like he's surprised to hear it. I think if you trapped Ollie in a lift for two hours with a group of opposing politicians, they'd come out joking like old friends.

[looks at Chloe, blushing] You're making it up!

'Course I am, Ollie. Nobody likes you. That's why you've got like nine people calling you on your commsphere and you haven't even been home an hour!

[dawnward]

[Riku's only telling it like it is, Oliver. he's quite the honest type when he has the mind to be] if you'd like, ma'am we could give you two a little more alone time.

[why yes, he is teasing a bit]

[Chloe raises an eyebrow] Oh no, you're not going anywhere after that! Ollie, you have good taste in friends. But I'm not married. Well, not yet. [raises an eyebrow at Oliver]

[Oliver looks very much like a deer caught in headlights at this point and sputters a bit. how did the conversation take that turn!?]
