Details
Hello, my name is Olivine. I'm a priest of the God of Klein, and I enjoy helping others in my free time. I'm also a healer, so if you ever find yourself in need, please don't hesitate to seek me out for assistance or conversation or both.
I like to think myself quite easy to get along with, and I'm happy to make friends and acquaintances. I've been told I can be a little too optimistic sometimes, but I can't really help it. Ah, and I've been working on myself of late to become more self-confident, with the help of others around me.
For the moment, I'm just looking to make connections. If I can, I'd also like to find something to do with myself—I have experience with several creative endeavours.
I may not be able to offer much now, but I hope to become more helpful in the future. Please bear with me in the interim.
As I mentioned before, I'm a healer and a priest. I also know a fair bit of magic, at least how it works in my own world. On top of that, I enjoy painting and writing.
I have a penchant for trying new things, even when they may seem strange. I'm quite... resilient, when it comes to that.
Oh, I don't know. I like a lot of fantasy books, especially ones with intrigue and romance in them, as well as tomes and history books. I also quite enjoy church music, though... I suppose I just like music in general. Things that are pleasant to listen to and soothe the heart.
I haven't gotten a chance to experience much in the way of food, personally. I do love home-cooked meals and fresh breads, things that are flavourful and comforting.
Well... I think my ideal partner would be someone strong-willed, confident, and warm-hearted. Someone kind and understanding, who can accept me as I am.
Mm... and it wouldn't hurt if he was someone playful and a bit rough. I like it when I'm taken by surprise, in all senses of the word, by someone I trust. Of course... it's also best if they can handle a little playfulness in return.

[He has to think about it, because Olivine truly has a broad feeling of love. But especially in the past few months...]
There are still different feelings with others, of course, given how different the circumstances of our meetings were. But when it comes to Eiden and me... not much has changed. I'm happy when he's smiling, with me or with anyone else he cares for.
For us, becoming something official was more about really cementing that no matter our feelings for others, or our struggles... we will always have a home in the other. No matter how dark things may become, we can always reach for each other for help and comfort.
[a soft laugh, as he rests a hand over his chest.]
Of course, that was already true for us... but it's something we both needed to hear.
no subject
A home in the other... Yeah, that makes sense.
[ His laugh gets her to smile in turn, and it brings some confidence in her, too. ]
Right. So, about the necklaces... I suppose I should provide a bit of context? Or would you rather talk about it after we eat?
no subject
[As always, he's perfectly patient in these matters. However long it takes her to find words or explain, the priest is personally just happy that she's doing something for her feelings.
And that he can help with those plans, but shh.]
no subject
I didn't mean to shift the focus on me! I just- what you said was something I needed to hear, I think.
[ She takes a deep breath when her hands are back on her lap. By now, she's had a few bites of her meal, but it'll take her a while longer to finish it all because she'll be telling him a story. ]
There's someone here I really... like. [ It says a lot about how Weiss sees Olivine that she can tell him this outright, but she's also gathered all the courage she could possibly get just to contact him in the first place. ] He asked me to be his girlfriend, but I said no because I was scared.
Being in this place makes things complicated. We can't exactly be exclusive and. . . and I really don't like that. I just think that we'd argue so much about it, when we had the Hearts game, it was already so painful to not have all my strings linked with his. What if we got into a really big argument over a game and he'd leave?
[ That's the most she can say about it, because anything else might be hypocritical. She'll still play the game after all, even if she wishes that she didn't. That she could just be intimate with one other person. Sharing her flaws and her insecurities like this gets her to look down at her food though, fingers in her lap fidgeting, because she feels ashamed to open up like this. She likes Olivine and doesn't want his opinion of her to change because she can get jealous or possessive. ]
He said that nothing would change between us even if I said no, that he'd still be here, but... the more days passed, the more everything hurt. The more scared I started to feel. And I... I've changed my mind. Even if I'm scared, it would still be better than this.
[ Weiss hasn't really said anything about who this necklace is for, but there's really only one other person who's living in this suite with her. He even made their food for them. It's probably obvious who she's talking about at this point, if it wasn't from the start. She pauses after telling a bit of her story, only to look back at Olivine, her blue eyes looking watery already as they seek validation and understanding. ]
Because I said no, I didn't give him a home, huh?
no subject
[there's nothing more than understanding and empathy in his voice, and Olivine rises to step around the table, kneel down and pull her into a hug. it's nothing he's asked permission for, but he hopes she'll allow it. either way, he'll stay here to be mostly on her level, for the importance of this particular conversation.]
It's natural to be afraid. Especially in this circumstance, where you're treading ground you've not tread before... but the best of relationships don't change just because of an argument. And you didn't deny him a home just because you couldn't say yes at that moment.
[she hasn't said who it is, indeed, but he doesn't try to hide that he knows.]
He cares for you deeply, and I have no doubt he would understand that you needed time. You can rest assured that, whatever he feels for others, there's a large space in his heart reserved only for you, Weiss.
no subject
Still, because it's said to her now, she understands these words and will take them to heart.
Olivine might feel Weiss stiffen from the hug, but that's not because she doesn't want it. She's just not used to it. And as she listens, she keeps to herself, only making a soft noise of surprise when it comes to her that Olivine might just know who she's talking about, or that he might know more than what she's told him just now. Even still, she makes no point of returning the hug just yet, but she does lean on him. Her heart races all the more when it seems like even Ragna's told Olivine a thing or two. . .
Tears fall from the corner of her eyes, but she holds back any sobs or any noises related to it. ]
If Ragna said that, then I really need to make it up to him... [ She takes a deep breath before pulling away slightly, just so she can look at Olivine properly when she speaks. With her watery eyes, she can't see very well, but she tries to wipe her tears away with the back of her hands. ] I don't want to give him any reason to change his mind.
no subject
He didn't say those words exactly, but... well, the words he did say were familiar to me. I understand what it's like to set aside your hopes for as long as necessary. [As she pulls away, he takes the moment to reach for a small cloth tucked away on a pocket, pressing it into one of her hands.] It isn't my place to bear his heart as I know he would want to... but at least I can say that he does understand why you chose to turn him down.
You're both strong, Weiss, and I don't think this place could best you—especially not together. Seeking your happiness hurts no one else, and it's something you deserve.
no subject
[ Much as Weiss does need the comfort and reassurance, she also knows that what Ragna told Olivine was between just the two of them, and it should remain that way. Olivine's shared more than enough. It gives her hope. One that, unfortunately, would begin to crumble when Ragna ranks himself up and gets himself his own fancy suite. But that is neither here nor there. It's something for future Weiss to worry about. ]
All the more I need your help, then. I want to knock his socks off with what I want to give him.
no subject
I'll do my best to make it perfect for you two. Though, I'm sure he'll be ecstatic for any gift from you, too.
Shall we eat and discuss the design? Or is there anything more you need someone to listen to?
no subject
[ GEEZ OLIVINE!!! You don't gotta mention she opened up to you AGAIN!!! ]
That's as open as I'll ever be!
no subject
Of course, you can treat that as an open invitation any time. I don't mean to press you for anything now. [a reassurance first, then, as he rises to return to his seat.]
About the necklace you'd like made, then.
no subject
[ Olivine really is such an understanding guy... Weiss isn't used to that kind of treatment! ]
So, this was a gift I got from him on my birthday. [ The necklace that she has on, she means. Her thumb and index fingers run down the length of the thin chain on one side before her palm catches the pendant, the angel wings and a small blue gemstone in the middle. ] I didn't even ask for anything then. I told him that I didn't want any gifts, but he surprised me anyway.
[ She sent a picture of it already, but Weiss just wanted to give a bit more context. ]
If I want to win him back, then I'll have to surprise him with something as thoughtful.
no subject
Did you have any specific elements you want to include? I must admit, I know most of my understanding of him is fairly surface-level, so I'll definitely rely on your thoughts as well.
no subject
Hmm... just black wings, really. It has to be black because it's him.
[ She won't explain the specifics as to why unless Olivine asks though, since the Lore Drop is probably best delivered by the Grim Reaper himself. ]
And I don't think a thin chain like mine would work? I think the red gems work well for both him and me since red and black seems to be his colour.
no subject
Black wings... feathered or otherwise, do you think?
[He doesn't ask, mostly because it's true—that's something he feels should come from the man himself—but also because of the bits and pieces he does know.]
I think I have an idea for the chain, then... maybe something like this? [It takes a moment of scribbling before he turns the book toward her. The sketch is of a thicker, almost braided-looking chain—not overly bulky but certainly sturdy looking.] It wouldn't be too hard to widen the ends to flow into the wing design, I think.
no subject
[ So yes, feathered is what she thinks! Loathe as she is to admit, the whole crows being a sign of bad luck from home fits well with Ragna's whole "deal". He'd probably like the idea, too.
She thinks, anyway. ]
Oh! Yes, definitely something like that. [ Weiss looks pleased at the drawing, and imagining Ragna having it on seems to fit well in her mind's image, too. ] I think that works well.
no subject
[At her approval, Olivine smiles warmly, nodding his understanding.]
Then I think I have the information I need to get it made for you. It will probably take a week or so to make it—do you have a deadline you'd like them done by?
no subject
[ More than enough time, really! Weiss came in expecting that this would take a couple of weeks or even a month. This is unexpected, but great. ]
You'll keep this as a surprise, won't you?
no subject
Of course; I wouldn't dream of ruining the surprise. I'll send you a message when it's all complete, so that you can pick them up without worry.
no subject
[ See, if Olivine liked girls too, she'd have gotten up from her seat to give him a smooch as thanks. ]
Thank you for all this. [ The help, the advice... he's always doing all those for her! She really appreciates it.
Now that business is done though, she claps her hands once and then gestures to the food. ] Let's finish this then, shall we? Ragna worked hard to make all this, after all.
🎀?
You're welcome, Weiss. [He's just glad to help, and to see her and Ragna each individually finding their footing with each other.
Back to the food, though. The priest gives an affirmative hum, attention turning toward the wonderful spread.]
Of course. I'm sure he'll be happiest knowing we thoroughly enjoyed it, too.
