The longer Oliver was trapped in this place the more he seemed to be coming out of his shell. Ever since he had returned from the island it had been hard for him to let people into his life. And even those he did let in didn't always get all of his story. What had happened to him during that time he was away from his family and home had truly changed him. Sure he had physical scars, but it was the scars on the inside....the ones that no one could see that had left the bigger mark on Oliver's life. On top of feeling uncomfortable talking about it all he also didn't want to burden anyone else and force them to live it as well. So, he kept it to himself most of the time and learned to bury himself in his work. Of course arriving here changed all of that, because he didn't have his vigilante work to distract him from the memories and the ghosts of his past. Oliver was surprised to find that in this new place he was actually opening up some. Sure there was still some things he kept to himself, but here it was easier to not worry about his past catching up with him. He wasn't completely relaxed, because he knew there was always a chance to him being sent home. So, he wanted to make sure he kept in shape and didn't overshare things about his operation back home. After all it wasn't only his life that could be endangered if he let his guard down too much. And the last thing he wanted was for something to happen to his family. Sometimes he felt like his children were the only good things he had done in his life. For tonight though he was going to allow himself to have a little fun. He had gotten to know another potential friend on the network and he wanted to meet her in person. So, once he had reached out to her they agreed to meet up at Verdant and have a drink. He dressed himself in jeans and a tshirt and then headed out to the club to meet her. Once he arrived at the club he made his way up to the bar and took a seat. He was a bit early, so he ordered himself a drink and then leaned back on the stool, preparing himself to wait for a bit. |
