Oliver still regretted his question, as he hadn't meant to remind Leela of sad memories, but her words did make him even more glad that he could do this with her. "I bet he enjoyed that," he said softly. He reached forward to put his hand briefly against hers arm--not in an attempt to direct her, just as a show of support.

As the door opened, Oliver's eyes widened. "Can we go out?" he whispered, as though afraid someone would appear any second and tell him that outsiders were forbidden from a sight like this. It was a silly feeling, but he couldn't help it. This seemed too amazing to be possible. So for the moment, he watched for Leela's cue before advancing.
