He’s lived indoors before, so home life isn’t new to him. He likes comfort, quiet, and knowing where things are. He evaluates his surroundings carefully before deciding they’re acceptable. The verdict, when it comes, is usually “yes… this will do… for now.”
He also holds one firm belief: everyone would probably benefit from a croissant. No further questions. Volunteers remain uncertain whether this is a suggestion or an official policy, but Oliver delivers it with enough conviction that it feels legally binding.
