[oliver's agreement has him stepping back towards the door again. however, it's the rest, the sincerity behind it that has him pausing mid-step. his only response to the statement is a soft smile, a thank you there in expression alone. knowing that he has at least one person here that he can rely on helps more than he can ever hope to explain.]
I'll...be right back.
[a nod, more to himself than anything, and then he's off. give him ten minutes or so and he'll be back]
[Oliver waited for him to return and if he wanted time to think about the knowledge that had just been dropped on him, waiting for Barry wasn't the time to do it; he was, after all, the fastest guy alive.]
So, I don't know if you noticed or anything but Felicity left. I guess she's done with her incentive already.
lmao i just realised i had him arrive with waffles at the start let's ignore that
[when he turns back up again he doesn't waste any time in laying everything out on the table. it may look like he brought enough to feed an army, but he's learned the hard way that he needs to eat a lot more than he thought. and at least this way, oliver gets to pick and choose from...pretty much the entire contents of a diner breakfast menu.]
I...didn't know she was here.
[and only finding out now, after she's gone-- he doesn't know what to do with that information. she should have been one of the first people he spoke to when he arrived.]
I'm sorry. But at least she got whatever she came here for? [and then, because he has to ask--] Are you okay?
[Oliver sat down at the table and started putting together a plate as he worked out how to tackle that question. Was he okay?]
Enough. It's not okay, it would never be okay but...if she fulfilled her incentive and that's why she's gone home, I think I can be okay with that even if I still miss her.
You'll get to see her when you go back though, right?
[it's a less than subtle way of asking if everything is alright, back home. if she's going back to something dangerous or not. with all the time differences at play here, he knows he can't assume one way or the other. not when he hasn't lived through any of what the others from their world has.]
And you've still got us. I don't think anyone's planning on going anywhere.

I'll see her. She probably doesn't want to see me, though.
