He wasn't staring into the music room. He was trying to ignore it, actually, asking Eliana quiet questions about school and her hometown. But she wasn't talkative. He couldn't blame her, really, not if her mom was as sick as she looked.
Ollie happened to glance over at the music room when Ty surged to his feet, and his eyes narrowed at the pale skin and the agitation They'd been together a while now; he could recognize the signs.
He was smiling when he turned back to look at El, though it took more effort this time. "I'll be right back," he said, standing as he rubbed Bruce on the head. "Maybe you and your mom would like to see the pool. Just give me a second."
His expression was a little more set as he knocked on the music room door. "I thought," he said as Alena and Ty swiveled to look at him, both tense in their own ways, "that you and Eliana might like to see the outside."
