His eyes on the vial he watched as she pulled something else out.
"So basically you want me to take that, most likely fall in love with you and then you'll snap me out of it?"
Which is what he wanted, because love was useless and he didn't understand why people had to have it. Maybe this experiment could help him figure that out, see what the big deal was.


So he talked himself into it and lifted his hand. Just for his own purpose of figuring out why love was so important. "Why do you think this potion was made? Was someone that desperate for love or did they want someone to do something for them? " Now that could be a good idea. Maybe he should stash some of this in his supplies.

Later, right now he would do this. "Okay I'll give it a try."
Olivia listened intently to him talking, nodding quickly as he agreed to her help in finding the creature. It wasn't difficult for her to offer kindness when it was simply fundamental to her as a person. It was just what Liv was: nice, which hurt her more than it should have. Even when someone had tried to kill her, she'd fought to rejoin her peers, adamant in finishing out the school term among friends. But also defiant in that no one would make her feel too scared to do something.

This often lead to many win/lose situations.

As he began speaking again, in agreement, the blonde plastered a false smile to her face. No, she didn't want anyone to ever fall in love with her again. This was purely for the sake of her grade, but she did not say all this to him. Instead, she simply nodded her blonde fringe. "It might seem barbaric, but yes...I plan to give you the antidote after a few moments." It would've been too strange for her, otherwise. You know, with her being so much older than he was...and her heart already belonging completely to someone else. Against her will, mind...but there wasn't a cure for feelings. She couldn't help it.

.....Huh? "I mean...I think it's 100% wrong to take away someone's choice. That is never okay. People should be allowed to think for themselves, and this basically robs them of their own mind." So, yeah. garner from that what you will, smol child.

With her own nod, she dropped the first phial in his hand. "Drink up."
