"You thinking about it is part of the idea, even."

He briefly considers saying that Emily is even allowed to change her mind, after her first answer... but Oliver then decides that he wants to think about that more, before he says it to Emily.

Humans change their mind too easily about relationships, in Oliver's opinion.  If he's teaching this one how to be a real person from scratch, maybe he won't go and say that it's her privilege to change her mind any time she wants.

Oliver doesn't know much what to say next either--too many half-formed thoughts, trying to warn her that Oliver may not be what the grooves in fate think of as normal, wanting to know how she feels about polyamory because Oliver is not particularly naturally monogamous, trying for that matter to find out if sex is possible here or if screens just fade to black... maybe see if she can master the basic ability to reflect on the nature of her own relationship desires first...

Oliver would actually like for this conversation to have finished and for them to be at Gus's tavern, if that's an option.
