Ollie froze for a moment, which was was probably the reaction Mia and Roy were hoping for when they'd set Lian up to say that to him. However, by focusing solely on Lian, Ollie was able to regain his composure and charm fairly quickly. "Thank you, princess. You're the prettiest girl in the world... under ten," he complimented her in return, with caveat intended to the other two ladies at the table into account.
"It's kind of special, this dinner," he told her. "But I didn't tell anyone 'cause your Dad would hate it if I did that..." That last past, although it was phrased like it was for Lian, was actually intended for and directed at Roy, whom Oliver was watching carefully, as if what he'd said might spook Roy and send him running for the hills. It was a rare, rare time where they owned up to honest to God heart-felt feelings. That was like taking responsibility.
