Well, that was the most convenient nap I've ever taken.

[Oliver doesn't think he's ever going to be fully used to the strange things that happen here. Like falling asleep one night and waking up three weeks later like it's no big deal. He's been here long enough to know that it happens and that there's no real explanation for it and there's really no point in dwelling on it.

He misses the island now more than ever, he realizes, as he leans against the railing on the Barge's deck. Lian Yu had its own set of issues and oddities, he'll admit that, but if it's a straight choice between hellboat or an island in the North Pacific, it's not hard to figure which one he'd choose. If it were a choice between Starling City and the island, he can't honestly say he'd actually want to go back home either.

But anyway, Mr. Queen is just brooding at the stars, if interrupting his thoughts catches your fancy.]

[You think you've seen sassy eyebrows before but the one that Oliver raises at Alex for that is one of the best.]

You know, I'm not sure I've actually gotten your name out of all of this.

From:

[Exceptionally sassy. The Russian judge gives it a 7.]

Alex Summers. [Hand out to shake, like a goddamn gentleman.]

From:

greenarrowed

[Alex, your mother's influence is showing. But Oliver's not a total barbarian either, so he shakes the hand offered to him.]

Oliver Queen, but you already know that.

From:

tolaywaste

[His mother is the finest telepath this Barge has ever seen and has flawless manners when he's not flirting. Strong handshake is a go.]

Yeah, I do. That's pretty much all I know, though.

[This is an invitation to give him a dramatic rendition of your life story. Although Alex knows bullshit is likely.]

From:

greenarrowed

[Why don't you go and ask your mother about him then >|]

The rest isn't that interesting. I spent the last five years on shipwrecked on an island.

From:

tolaywaste

Yeah, I bet that's why a lot of people are here. Too much time shipwrecked.

From:

greenarrowed

Tim and I never got around to exactly why I'm here. [Though, he could guess. But he's not about to tell a kid that he just met that he puts arrows in people for a living.]

From:

tolaywaste

No, you don't seem very sharing and caring.

From:

greenarrowed

My social skills took a real hit being stranded on a deserted island. [For someone who keeps a lot of things close to the vest, he's almost annoyingly honest about other things. Although he's always been kind of an asshole.]

You'll have to forgive me.

From:

tolaywaste

Well, I would if you didn't seem to kind of relish it.

From:

greenarrowed

[There goes Oliver's eyebrow, going to meet his hairline again.]

I'm sorry?

From:

tolaywaste

The [he gestures vaguely] attitude. You like it.

From:

greenarrowed

[A muscle works in his jaw. Honestly, like he's going to listen to some teenager talk to him about attitude.]

Pretty sure being stranded for five years gives me a carte blanche to act however I want.

From:

tolaywaste

Pretty sure it doesn't.

[Look how much he cares about your manpain, Oliver.]

From:

greenarrowed

[You're going to be the worst warden. All Oliver has to offer is a shrug, like he doesn't care what Alex thinks.]

Must be the crapload of money I have then.
