[ olivia, too, has had her eyes on the door for a majority of their stay here. in fact, it would probably be more accurate to say that the only other things she's bothered to look at is achilles himself, as well as her own reflection on the surface of her cup. she feels strangely like she is about to embark on some strange interview or test, though she knows it's a silly thought the moment she thinks it.
still, she cannot help how her nerves jump at every sound within the currently cozy saloon. she feels fortunate that gaius should be one of the first to arrive here, for his somewhat lackadaisical and easy-going nature would mesh well with achilles' passion, she thinks. not that she worries any of her friends would disapprove (perhaps maribelle, at first... but she would warm up quite quickly upon hearing of achilles' status, she's sure) — but her overall desire for this all to go well makes the idea of failure that much more daunting, regardless how possible. ]
H-He should be right along...! [ she has begun to twist one of her braids in anxiousness. absently, she looks over to achilles and reaches up to tuck a lock of his own hair behind his ear. it's less for fixing, and more to give her hands something to do. ]
We're a little early...
[ try ten minutes early. she just wanted to be sure okay...! ]
