==During the Day==

[[EllaandOllieChat]]

Minnie and Ella help a new guest unpack and girl-out over the woman's fine clothes and jewelry, making Minnie feel a little better after the others adventuring the previous days.

==At Dinner==

**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.**
