Olive was a little surprised by the sudden honesty, as well as the depth of information given. Mostly she just felt herself softening to Dakota, even if she did feel a little awkward about it all. Made sense why she hadn't wanted her photo taken at least. "Hey don't worry about it, seriously. I used to be shit at talking to people. Not even sure when I got any better at it. I mean if I've gotten better at it. I've been told I have, but they could just be being nice." She tried to joke, lightening the mood as she gave Dakota a smile.
"Like I said though, you do you. No shame in doing what you gotta to take care of yourself." Olive knew she was lucky; that she'd been smart enough to get the scholarships she had, that she hadn't fucked everything up the year she'd been too busy grieving to think about the future. She wouldn't be here if she hadn't gotten those scholarships. "And for the record; I'm know how to keep my mouth shut, and you haven't pissed me off, accidentally or otherwise."
