[ It's not hard to figure out that by 'slate', the boy meant his miniature blackboard which, last time he'd seen it, he'd left on his desk after getting send out of the classroom.
Not that it was any of Ico's business, but the fact he knew about the board meant that he was telling the truth and that he did really know him and that ... that Jacquese found very unnerving.
Even if Ico had the paper on him, Jacquese would not have taken it. He was feeling very disinclined to answer anything and the offer of food, even though he was feeling rather hungry by now, was met with a vehement shake of his head.
... Only his stomach rumbled in response and Jacquese hid his embarrassment with a scowl. ]
