It felt like Charles was watching him like a hawk if not to reserve judgment for now. There was a sense that he had noticed that something was wrong but had chosen not to remark upon it as Caden tried to avoid and deflect from the situation. The remark about the tele in the dining room had him shaking his head. "It's a distraction. We can put music on if that makes you feel better and if you really want to eat together." He said not having considered it a high need and for now hadn't planned to remove Caden's privilege of eating where he pleased though he might have if he knew about the dessert issues. With the bench in hand, he considered the placement. "The bathrooms are certainly large enough but the tiling is too hard. I suppose we can place it in my room for the time being."<br/><br/>He liked the sturdy piece of furnishing after all and looked forward to seeing it in action. It would serve as a reminder to get his head space in the right place and if Caden wanted to keep his room private and separate from their activities he didn't mind. It was a delicate balancing act of giving someone what they wanted while still making all the choices. It didn't take him long to pull up a basic kinks worksheet for Caden and while having this in writing might be risky not having this at all would feel wrong somehow. He presented it to the young man before dinner simply stating he could finish one as well if the other was more interested in learning about him and his experience. After all, he wanted the other to feel safe with him and not like he was just an insane sadist or something.<br/><br/>For now, he let Caden escape and deal with this issues as Charles was sure he was going to possibly grow tired of him hovering around sooner rather than later. They were going to be testing the limits anyways so he wanted to give the other time to digest everything that took place so he had even offered to eat dinner separately today. A part of Charles though knew somewhere deep down that Caden was lonely though and he was going to want attention as well as affection. He couldn't help but wonder why he was even doing all this, holding this whole business on his shoulders.
