And now was the time to navigate the shaky ground he'd been given. He had to give the shadow of doubt to his words without ever actually saying or even implying he was saying something that would be disapproved of. If this man, if Steve, was looking for it, he would recognize at least something in the words that Oliver wasn't saying. If he didn't, then it would just be a normal conversation from a confused and potentially scared new recruit.

"A tour, yes," he agreed. "I'd like to be able to navigate without accidentally finding myself some place I shouldn't be." No, if he found himself some place he shouldn't be, it would be because it was just where he intended on being. But it would be good to see where the lines were drawn and he would keep his eyes peeled for the security systems.

Of course, it did mean that he wouldn't be able to use the excuse that he hadn't known where he was.

"I suppose my first question is how likely it'll be that I find someone I--" There wasn't quite a pause between the words, or even a hesitation, but there was the smallest emphasis on the next word. "--Think I know."

This was going to be exhausting. He was much better at running in and shooting at something until it was dead. That was how he usually solved problems.
