Aurora was not expecting that response. She stared at her hand in his and gave it a squeeze. Her cheeks were pastel-pink when she gazed into his eyes. “Are you- are you just doing this because it’s what you think you should do? Or are you genuinely interested in getting to know me better?” Aurora knew far too well what it was like to enter a relationship because it was expected and not because she wanted to.

"To be honest I'm half doing it because I think it'd be polite to at least see what happens" Olem said, running his spare hand through his hair, looking away slightly "but being near you, and having you there . . . stabilises me, in a sense" he smirked "I really just wanted to come to uni after my years in the army to get a degree, get a job and just exist, you know? But this super powered nonsense has put a spanner in that plan." He laughed, and turned towards her "that's why I like you, you help me function like a normal person"

Aurora gave him a gentle smile. “Yeah, powers kind of mess up the idea of a simple life. I never thought something like this would happen to me, but my whole perspective on life has changed.” Aurora considered what he had said. It sounded like a close friendship was what he wanted more than a relationship. “… Ah screw it, let’s give it a go.” Aurora said, blushing and angry with herself. She didn’t want to be like the idiots she had dated in the past, but she wanted to give it shot, just in case there was a chance she could make him feel something for her. “If anything, it just means I get to know you better…”
She tried to push the other emotions away and looked at Olem. "But... well, while we're being honest with each other, I want to say I don't trust your friend... The Redeemer... Do you even know what he looks like, what his name is? Anything about him?"

"Apart from him wanting to destroy Olympus, I don't really know all that much about him" Olem said, lying on the grass "I mean, thinking about it I was a bit naive to put a lot of trust in a guy that I barely know who wants to use my power to kill things". He sighed, and stared up at the sky "the only reason I really went with him was because of his promises to control my power, but now that I've got it under control, do I really need to increase it's oomph?" he closed his eyes in thought "and just because I can kill without caring doesn't mean I should I guess"

Aurora knelt on her knees and leaned over him to see his face, the bright daylight shimmering behind her. “Even if you did want to increase your power, do you really need him anymore? Besides, you just told me that you left the army in hopes to pursue a normal life. It seems a bit counterproductive to then be trained up as someone’s else’s soldier. Your power is yours, not the Redeemer’s and not Olympus’.”

"When you put it like that" he muttered, as he opened his eyes to look at her face "It would be like swapping one lot of grunt work for another, and I doubt there will be much satisfaction in being part of an army of evil" he smirked.

Aurora closed her eyes and had a happy grin on her face. It slowly drained away as she opened her eyes to look at him again. “But, how do you even break up with the Redeemer?”

"Knowing how powerful he is, you don't" Olem said, "seeing as he can seemingly control space time, I imagine I can't really avoid him. And I imagine if I ask him to leave he'd rather have me kill the person who suggested it and go back to working for him"

Aurora frowned. “Is he really that powerful?” She sat down properly and looked towards the woods. “I think you should try. Say ‘thank you’ and request you step out of his plans.” Aurora looked back at Olem. “And if he tells you to kill the person who suggested it, please don’t.” Aurora laughed, not believing he would kill her anyway.

Olem sat up "I should probably get this over and done with" he said "do you want to come or is it best if I go alone?"

Aurora stood up and smiled. "I'll come with you, I want to have a word with him about Signe." Aurora was about to reach out for his hand but stopped herself. "It sounds like he approached her too."

"Not the best person to be talking to if you're having trouble in your life" Olem said, standing up. "Right, off to the woods!" and he made his way to the woods.

Aurora followed after him a little nervous about seeing the Redeemer again.
