9. BEHAVIOR IN THE RELATIONSHIP (THE SOFT SIDE)

• Love Language: Acts of Service and Physical Touch. Oliver is wary of words because they feel too weighty and permanent, so he expresses his feelings through small gestures: brewing tea at exactly the temperature you like or adjusting the blanket while you sleep.

• Shyness in Expression: He may blush at a sudden compliment and look away. If he wants to hold your hand, he might hover his hand near yours for a long time first, waiting for a silent invitation or permission.

• Caring Rituals: Every morning, he leaves short notes (sometimes on shop receipts or scraps of paper) wishing you a good day, because saying it out loud feels too formal or overwhelming for him.

• Meaningful Gifts: He never gives random items. It might be an unusual stone found on the shore, an old book with a bookmark on a significant page, or an amulet from his shop that he insists "just belongs with you."

12. ADDITIONAL HOBBIES (FOR DEPTH)

• Gardening (Succulents): He enjoys caring for plants that require little water and live a long time. It is his way of nurturing life as an offset to his role as an Avatar.

• Collecting Old Photographs: He likes looking at faces of people from the past whose stories have already concluded, finding a strange sense of peace in it.

• Cooking: Oliver enjoys making simple, "comfort" foods (soups, pastrie)
