It's all just a little bit too familiar. Olympia already felt some relief in finding someone else with powers, even if they put him into such a miserable state, but it's only now she realises just how similar his power is to her own. Her power, the one thing she remembers, along with it acting as a reflex as well.
Still, her tongue feels so thick in her mouth as she even thinks of mentioning it. Even if he'd have no reason to judge - aside from attitude, maybe, but it's not like Olympia seems to be taking that factor into account in the first place, judging by how she's not leaving even though he told her to plenty of times now - it's just a little bit too scary, openly talking about her power when it's so dangerous.
Instead she passes up on the opportunity, even though it feels perfect. Even though she's not sure she'll get it again.
(Maybe she's a coward, she mentally scolds herself.)
Olympia swallows, then her gaze drops into something a little more guilty. ]
.. I'm sorry. [ At first one might think she's apologizing for not having "fucked off" already, but no-- ] I wanted to help you. I didn't realise touching you might just make it worse..
[ She even bows her head a little, like she's showing him respect - or just penance. ]
Won't you at least let me help you to make up for that..?
