When people arrive in the tower Cal is lighting the oil lamp. When Ollie arrives Cal says, "Sounds like you got some stories to tell" With a smile and hands him one of the two paper crowns.
<#bill: Cole is red faced when he arrives, very obvious on his pale complexion.#>
<#jonah: Ollie takes the crown but doesn't put it on. "Mr Black just thought I was actin like I wasn't feelin myself. And he wanted me to know that he noticed and that it was ok. I got the feelin' that he knew more than he was lettin on, though."#>
<#court: Jeanne looks at Ollie sharply, gauging him as he speaks.#>
<#ann: "Do you think he knew about Arkadeus yesterday? Why wouldn't he say nothing?"#>
<#jonah: "So I explained to him about how I could tell what some animals were up to by their smell, or how they sound... and I think he got the idea, seeing both how Jackson seems to like me, and the animals that I take care of. And he wanted to make a deal with me — I can do all the animal stuff I want in the orphanage and hotel, provided that I don't bother the guests, but I should be real careful to not do it outside, seeing as other people might take notice and not be as understanding as he is." @Celeste: "I don't think he knows, and I didn't make to tell him, neither. I just wasn't sure what I wanted to say. But maybe he should know... What do you all think?"#>
Erin says, "I’m not sure I understand, what do you mean do your thing...what do you do with the animals?"
<#court: Jeanne looks confused. "Why does he think other people will have a problem?"#>
<#jonah: @Kel: So Erin and Deco and the other folks who didn't come out to the Bayou aren't in the know at this point?#>
They are in the know. Erin is just not following you. She heard the story about you scaring off the alligator though.
<#jonah: ok. Ollie turns to Erin, "I've been trying to figure out what I mean, and here's what I think it comes down to. I think I can hear real good, and smell real good, and maybe I just can tell a bit more about some of the animals I see than most folks. That's how I scared off that gator — I could tell it didn't want to be there, and it just needed a good reason to head off. So, I gave it that reason. I don't think it's anything too special, but Mr Black does."#>
Erin clearly understood the words but still looks confused, she doesn’t quite grok it, but nods, with some understanding.
<#bill:"But Mr. Black said you're not alone. Does that mean he can do it too?"#>
<#jonah: Ollie looks uncomfortable. "It's not really my place to say, if you'll pardon me, Lieutenant" (Using the rank with polite respect)#>
”More like spymaster general," Shawn says.
<#bill: Cole raises an eyebrow. "So you know?" he says with a smile.#>
<#kate: "But it may not be his to share."#>
<#court: Jeanne turns to Ollie. "Ollie, is he the one Arkadeus was talking about, who is trying to protect us?"#>
<#jonah: Ollie: "I was wonderin' about that today, trying to remember the words that Arkadeus said... I think maybe, but I couldn't ask him without revealin' what had happened."#>
