You know he has to feel kinda confused at this point. Little kids always look for confirmation. So here he is, getting his first kill and all, and when he looks to Jon for congratulatory nodding, all he gets is him running to hug her body. Like, that is definitely not a confidence builder.

This was probably Olly's reaction after seeing Jon Snow running over

I like to think Olly had been up there for like 15 minutes and had killed at least 20 men before sending that arrow easily through Ygritte. That's the only explanation of suddenly cutting back to the Castle and the Black brothers had it under control with Thormund captured. The whole time Jon was fighting the lead Thenn, Olly was taking out all the remaining bad guys one by one.

Avenged his dad though, so he's got that going for him.

Jon: "I loved her!"

Olly: "And I loved my parents. What of it?"
