EllaandOllieChat
Everyone is gathered for dinner. Mrs. Lizzy says grace and they start to eat.
<#jonah: Ollie has his eyes closed, sniffing the air here and there. Hyes open, just staring blankly like before.#>
Jackson slips into the room and wanders under the table looking for scraps. Uncharacteristically a few moments after Jackson, Mr. Black comes into the room.
Ms Lizzy stands as he enters. “Mr. Black sir, is something wrong.”
Mr. Black ignores her and looks around the table at the children.
<#kate: Ella looks back at him.#>
Cal also meets his gaze with a wry smile.
<#ann: Just looking at him, startled to see him here.#>
<#jonah: is it weird that Jackson is in the kids' dinner room?#>
Not especially, he’s there a little early but it’s not out of character.
<#bill:Cole is just watching.#>
<#court: Jeanne looks speculative, and looks at Celeste.#>
Mr Black slowly scans the room till his eyes rest on Ollie.
<#ann: Celeste give Jeanne a quick questioning glance.#>
After a few moments of uncomfortable silence. Mr. Black says, "Ollie, will you please join me in my study."
<#bill: Did we feel any weird sensations when Ollie got all glassy-eyed like in the bayou?#>
nope.
<#court: Jeanne gives Ollie's hand a squeeze under the table.#>
<#kate: Ella looks to Ollie as if waiting to see if he needs her to do anything.#>
<#jonah: Ollie takes a breath in and looks up, and seems a bit dazed.#>
Mr Black does not repeat himself, but continues to look at him.
<#jonah: "Sorry, sir. Yes, sir." Ollie stands, and follows Mr Black out.#>
<#bill:(has Mr. Black ever done anything remotely like this before?)#>
(he has not Bill)
As soon as Ollie acknowledges him Mr. Black turns to leave, Ollie follows in his wake.
<#ann: "Ollie hasn't done anything, has he?" Celeste whispers as quietly as possible in Jeanne's ear.#>
<#court: Jeanne looks after them, looking slightly worried but somewhat curious. She looks back at Celeste and whispers, "No... what if you were right this morning?"#>
<#bill: About 15 seconds after they leave the room Cole turns to Ms. Lizzy, "May I be excused, ma'am, to use the lavatory?"#>
<#ann: Celeste looks thoughtful, and a little surprised. (she'd just been saying things to make Jeanne feel better.)#>
<#court:(hahaha)#>
Ms Lizzy gives Cole a "your ass is going to be beat if you are going to try and sneak off and do other things." look but says yes.
<#bill:"Yes'm" he says with a nod and leaves the room.#>
<#court: Jeanne is curious and fidgety at dinner while waiting for all of this to be resolved and keeps darting glances at the door. #>
<#ann: Celeste too, giving quick glances at Jeanne, then at the door waiting to see what sort of mischief Cole is getting into.#>
About 4 minutes later Cole returns, looking green and carrying his shirt covered with vomit.
<#bill: "Miss Lizzy, I don't feel so well."#>
Ms Lizzy gives him a look of horror. "Oh child, get yourself to bed." she stands to help Cole.
<#court: Jeanne shoots him a sympathetic look.#>
<#ann: Celeste jumps up and runs to get some mint tea (or whatever else might be the standard orphanage remedy for an upset stomach)#>
Cole is escorted to bed, and the rest of the kids eat dinner.
