Oliver had half-retreated into a ball with his knees tucked up to his chest, hands against the back of his head as though it would ease the pain. But he began to uncurl when he heard Noemi's voice closer to him, and then when her hand gently brushed over his head...

The blush that had started moments ago was now too bright to hide, but it wasn't like he could go hide in a hole until it went away. "Ah... I-I'm okay," he replied, and after another couple seconds he was able to meet her eyes. "M-maybe some ice as well," he added with a bashful smile.
