STARTER FOR: @hallenkane LOCATION: A street in Olympus. SETTING: Late afternoon.
Did he purposefully run into Hallen? No, but he isn’t as innocent as you think. When all of his errands for the day were complete, he slyly drove past Hallen’s home. There was no car in the driveway and from where he was, there seemed to be no lights on either. Not home. But somewhere. He had other things on his mind but he can’t help the way their phonecall steps to the forefront of his mind from time to time. Hallen’s sternness, his way of being worried, his speechlessness. Oliver dwells on it over and over the moment the memory comes. Why worry? Why worry about someone you seemingly despised?
Though, they’ve both come to terms with the fact that they were at least a tad fond of each other. Not friends, no. Something. Oliver still wasn’t sure. Maybe he never will be.
It’s why he’s so quick to step on the break once Hallen comes into view in town, surveying the pole that had fell, earning in the town-wide blackout just the evening before.
In classic Oliver fashion, he pulls over and parks, stepping out of his vehicle. He looks both ways before crossing the street over to the detective. Hallen doesn’t spot him at first, his back turned towards Oliver, which makes a cheeky smirk spread across Oliver’s mouth. Blue eyes scan over the pole too, teasingly pretending to be serious. “Looks bad, chief. Call it in. We got a rogue pole on our hands.” He raises a finger, “That’s actually my stripper name. Rogue Pole.”
