My Self-Summary

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.

My Future Plans

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.

My Talents

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.

Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and Food

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.

My Ideal Partner

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.

[philancer]

Can I help, then?

[ It’s an urge he understands all too well, and he moves to the far end of the bed, intending to help if Olivine will let him. ]

[massochism]

Ah—if you want to, I have no complaints.

[He even laughs as he says it, unfolding the fitted sheet and tossing the side to Sylvain. Not that it needs to go that far.]

I don't think I've had help making my bed since I was very young and still learning how.

[that remark is. Kind of depressing if you really think about it, but he sounds cheerful about it. He does have help now, and it's a nice feeling. Focus on that and not how early Olivine learned Responsibility...]

[philancer]

[ Sylvain… doesn’t actually think there’s anything odd in that statement, since it’s something he’d been taught to do daily at a very young age, as well. It had come right along with his other preparations in getting ready for his day, just as important as breakfast, really. His father was rather fastidious when it came to daily habits.

But he falls into the habit with ease, working with Olivine to get the task done more quickly, tucking in the sheets with an almost obsessive precision. Then again, maybe that’s not so surprising, considering how organized and spotless he kept his own rooms. Not that he had many things to make a mess of yet, but even still. ]

There. All good?

[massochism]

[they're quite similar in that, it seems. Olivine is almost rhythmic with his movements, which similarly suits him well—it's a comforting action that they can share, and that itself is even more comforting.

almost too soon, they're done, the gentle tandem of the work passed with iniquitous speed. a fond smile crosses his lips when looking at the bed, and he nods as he approaches Sylvain.]

Perfect, thank you. Shall we head out?

[philancer]

[ Sylvain just gives him a fond smile as he wraps an arm about Olivine's waist and tucks him in close against his side as he leads the way out of his room. ]

I can show you where my new quarters are and then we can go explore some of your other options if you want? Are you sure you'll be okay to go up there?

[ The last thing he wanted was to make Olivine uncomfortable. Or worse, sad. ]

[massochism]

Sure. We can decide where to go once we've seen the room—I'm not too picky, so anything is really fine.

[His concern is heartwarming, but it does make Olivine feel a little guilty. Honestly, it's better this way—the priest just isn't used to letting people in under the smiles and gentle nature.]

I'll be fine, Sylvain. I don't want to avoid it forever. He wouldn't want that either. [His hip bumps the redhead's gently.] plus, you and Basch will be up there. Seeing you is worth a little discomfort.

[you're important to me, he doesn't say.]

[philancer]

[ Giving his waist a squeeze, Sylvain of course latches onto the absolutely wrong part of that statement, without even realizing he was doing it. ]

Have you and Basch been getting close? And yeah, you'll be really close, since he's now next door to me.

[massochism]

I think so. We... haven't met up as often as you and I have or anything, but we had a long conversation the last time. [he leans his head on Sylvain's shoulder a little, enjoying that squeeze.] We had some misunderstandings after our first meeting, but I think we talked through them all now.

Did they also give you a comically large bed? [he can't help but laugh. Eiden's wasn't, so he doubts it, but... well, Basch sure got some weird luck.] Although I guess I'll see it soon enough, hehe.

[philancer]

They gave a comically large tub. [ Sylvain gives a laugh as keeps wrapped around him snugly. ] The bed just feels perfect, honestly. But that wasn't a high bar, when my previous one didn't even fit me well on my own. Let along any company I might have wanted to have.

[ his room had brought a whole new meaning to 'close quarters'. ]

[massochism]

I see... somehow, that feels even more wasteful of them. But at least you have a tub of your own now, too. [he's gotten more or less used to the public baths, but honestly, the idea of not having to use them isn't without its draw.]

That's true, you're a bit taller than me, and it was only really just large enough for my height. [their rooms were about the same size, at least, and Olivine hums softly.] I suppose I never really thought about it, since it's about the size of my room at the church, and our family home's bedrooms aren't that much larger.

[philancer]

[ He arches an eyebrow at that, because even his bedroom at the Monastery had been twice the size of the lower level rooms. At least. Then again he had been on the upper noble floor, but even those on the first floor belonging to those without a title had been comfortable. ]

Really? Man, you would have gotten lost in my home, then.

[massochism]

Hehe. I can find my way around just fine... but the priests of Klein are taught to value frugality, so we really don't need much.

[thinking about it does make him wonder how Sylvain would react to their formal outfit, actually... given Eiden's reaction, he's almost curious enough to think about trying to request it. that's a terrible thing to think as a priest, probably.

he doesn't even notice how obvious it is that he's thinking of something probably inappropriate, and it's not even related to what he says next.]

In any case, I'm looking forward to seeing your room. It makes me happy that you're getting to have more comfort.

[philancer]

[ Consider him intrigued. Not that he'd realize that. he's normally one to prefer to skip formal anythings. But he also has no idea what that might mean for Olivine.

And yes, it's pretty obvious. But he's not pushing just yet. ]

I'm certainly not minding the comfort upgrades. I'm glad you’re coming up here, too. I was planning on dragging you up here myself if you didn't do it on your own.

[ he’ll do it, too. ]

[massochism]

Was it really that egregious to you? [he asks this earnestly, with concern. to him, it's nothing new, but... he hadn't considered how others might feel about that. at least they've probably almost reached the room by now.]

But no, I don't have any particular reasons for staying down there. I just... also didn't have any reason to move up, either. Now I do.

[he reaches to take Sylvain's hand, giving it a fond squeeze.]

If you want me to do anything, you really only need to ask, Sylvain.

[philancer]

No, it wasn’t that bad. But it definitely wasn’t great, either.

[ They are, actually, and he’s pausing just outside the door to turn to the other man, lifting a hand to cup against his cheek as he gives him a crooked grin. ]

Maybe I wanted you to want it for yourself. [ Because Olivine doesn’t seem to do that as often as he should. ] Besides. We’ve been playing their game pretty thoroughly ever since we got here. We might as well take advantage of some of the rewards offered.

[massochism]

[oh—that sees Olivine leaning into that touch easily, eyes half-lidded.]

Still... something like a space really doesn't make much difference to me. I'd really rather spend time in someone else's room than stay alone in a larger space, generally. [he chuckles, placing his hand over Sylvain's.] But the additional amenities are worth it, in any case. I'll have more space to store things, if nothing else. And I'll still be close to you, I'm sure.

[that matters to him. immensely, evidently.]

[philancer]

No one said you had to stay there alone, you know.

[ Sylvain points this out with a teasing smile before dropping a kiss on the tip of the priest’s nose. Turning, he holds his watch up to the door to unlock it so he can lead Olivine into his new room.

It’s still just the standard furniture that came with the place, nothing personal in here yet because Sylvain is still getting settled in - and hadn’t had that many belongings to begin with. But it’s bright and spacious, a massive ‘window’ on the far wall showing snowcapped mountains surrounded by thick, lush forests. They enter into a sitting room, but there’s a separate bedroom beyond, the large bed visible from here. ]

It also happens to be a great place to invite people back to, you know.

[massochism]

I know, but—

[but Olivine is awful at actually inviting people to his room. he's invited Sylvain a few times, of course, but most of his experiences have been elsewhere. the fact that they were downstairs didn't really help.

anyway, what stopped him is the little kiss to the tip of his nose, which brings a broader smile to his lips and he shakes his head after. inside is—pretty, honestly. big, by his standards, and his gaze sweeps over all of it with something like awe. he really wasn't kidding about being used to small rooms (even if he's spent a lot of time in Rei's by now. it's different).]

That's true... I still feel awkward asking people most of the time. Only a few people I know, I'm fairly sure that they would even potentially want that, to be honest. And I'm usually not sure how to ask. There's still a lot I don't understand about people.

[philancer]

[ he watches him stumble over the words a little, before nudging the door shut again and wrapping his arms around Olivine’s waist. ]

A good rule of thumb? Think about what you’d be receptive to. About what you’d be okay being asked, or wanting to do. And then turn that around in your offering to others. It’s not always a perfect method, but it’s a good place to start. Treat them how you would like to be treated. Don’t be surprised if others would be as happy to be invited back to spend time with you, as you would feel if they offered you the same invitation. And if that’s not the case, most people will be honest about that, too.

[massochism]

[Sylvain, you know what Olivine would be receptive to is not indicative of most people... he leans into the grasp easily, letting the threads of uncertainty slip away in turn.]

Isn't that just friendship in general...? Although, I think I get it, sort of. And I like to think I do most of that already... I suppose I'll just have to try more. [he reaches up to brush Sylvain's hair back, fingertips grazing over his cheeks.] ... for now, though... I think I'd actually just like to lay with you for a while. If that's alright. We can take a walk along the floors after, maybe.

[philancer]

[ he bends to brush another kiss against Olivine’s lips, slow and gentle, a smile lingering on his own lips. ]

We can do that. That sounds pretty perfect, actually.
