[in turn, Olivine is vibrant and warm throughout their time together. the week itself passes so easily, so smoothly that even he almost loses track of it—by the time Basch suggests they go to town for supplies, he's surprised to realise how long it's been.
he's quick to agree to go, though, trying not to let the guilty feeling of ignoring his duties slip in. after all, watching over Basch is part of those duties, finding ways to assess the danger of this man. that it provides him comfort is just... incidental. right.
it'll be the first time the blond has seen him interact with people, too. this little town is much less secluded, and the response to his presence is... immediate, vibrant even. cries of Your Holiness are frequent, often accompanied by the insistent offers of everything from fruits and vegetables to medical supplies and everything in between.
it'd be overwhelming for most everyone, and though Olivine seems to be fairly used to navigating this, he... doesn't seem to get through very quickly, especially when any of the villagers decide to squabble over what he might need—without his input, naturally.]
Ah—please, it's quite alright! You need to provide for yourselves first, I'll only take what I need and happily pay—
[what kind of person would I be, asking Your Holiness to pay for anything? God would surely strike me down immediately—]
