You know, to see if she wanted to collect him. Him being Harvey, as he'd just introduced himself. Precious.

"I'd definitely have to agree with Mr. Harvey, Sir Nicholas." So, SO precious. "It's definitely not easy to change someone's mind who is set in their opinions, but maybe approach them in a different way with the information? I mean, no one should immediately try to discourage and berate someone's opinion just because it differs from their own, because that tends to lead to arguments and ugly words. But if you assure them that you understand where they're coming from... AND THEN, offer your own thoughts on the matter... that could inspire a dialogue about the pros and cons." A dialogue. Her aunt said that all the time. "I think if you can point out that nothing would really be lost or compromised, people might be more open to the idea of it!"

She'd called him Mr Harvey. Hmm. Strange? Olivia seemed strange though. In a good way. Harvey couldn't help but smile at her strangeness.

"That's sounds like a good way of approaching it," he nodded, agreeing with her again. "The most important thing, Sir Nicholas, is not to get carried away with emotions and start arguing about right and wrong, but try to just... talk about it."

That's how his Mum always insisted on sorting out any disagreements. No yelling. Ever. While he sometimes felt yelling would be good, cold logic was often a lot better and more effective, he thoughts, seeing the issues hot-headed arguments caused in his friends' families.
