Oliver wasn't sure why Sanguine was blushing, but he liked the colour she turned, and wondered what she was thinking, to make her blush at all. The warrior extended an arm as his companion joined him on the couch, pulling her a little closer as she got comfortable. He shrugged when she said there wasn't much he could help with. "I'll give it a shot." he decided. Having someone on the opposite end of the spectrum around to make observations would probably be useful. And he could give her a vague idea of how much clerical magic it would take for her minions to be destroyed afterward.

"I like the sound of that." he agreed heartily as their drinks appeared. Oliver's pleasingly large stein full of ale was rather exciting to the Paladin who was used to drinking significantly smaller servings of the beverage. Of course, the bartender had completely missed the boat with his attempt at giving the vampire a glass of wine, and she quickly demanded her own stein of beer. The warrior shrugged when his companion remarked on her situation. "There are worse things in life." he offered, "At least you get to enjoy some of the good ones." it would be truly unfortunate if she couldn't drink at all. Then again, most people didn't like beer naturally, so it would likely end up being less that the beer was good, and more than she was just used to it. Other normally more pleasant beverages just didn't smell as good now because they weren't blood.

Right now, he had a beautiful woman sitting and enjoying a beer and live music with him. There were very few things that Oliver would even consider as valid interruptions for such a pleasant activity. Once Sanguine had a satisfactory drink of her own, he hefted his stein in celebration. "To victory!" he offered with a grin, holding back the temptation to challenge his companion to a chugging contest. That sort of thing was for after the work was done. Right now they were just taking a break...
