Ollie doesn't drink. And he's not an artist. But he's never felt a presence like Sarah's before, ever.
It's not rare that Ollie's curiosity overpowers his painful shyness, but it is the only thing that ever wins out over it. Still, despite being shy and a teetotaler, he likes to hang around the bar. It offers a respite from the kind of loneliness he's felt since he turned 9 years old, and 10 years of loneliness gives a guy enough time to figure out how to mitigate it.
Here on the ship, the bustling bar usually suffices. He doesn't have to talk to anyone. Until now.
"Are you uh, are you an artist?" Kind of a dumb question and when he asks, it's probably too far away from Sarah to not be awkward. But he got nervous and didn't want to seem creepy. So he also offers a small wave in greeting, without realizing that he just kicked the awkward up another notch.
i'm not crazy late oh god i'm sorry but i think i need this cr
