Finn simply shrugged, nothing this man could say would rile him, not outwardly anyway. He was the type to let things boil and it was only his eyes, cold and stern, that showed that he wasn't at all pleased with the way the man was acting like a child. But, if nothing else he did put his feet down finally, though it seemed he wasn't finished talking to them like they were garbage. He opened his mouth to reply, but Chris did instead. So he stood quietly, absorbing the man's hateful words... It was all so unnecessary. Was he just trying to pull Chris down out of jealousy? Because he had clearly made something of himself?<br/><br/>When Jimmy went to speak to Brock he glanced to Chris and saw the hurt in his eyes, the worry and fear... Finn softly shook his head and offered him a smile, trying to be reassuring. He then watched the trio a moment more before deciding that, for the time being, they'd done enough to the poor child by just coming back into his life. So he walked over and crouched down, smiling to Brock. "Are you ready for dinner? I was thinking about having you help me cook again." He offered to the little boy, acting like things were completely normal, like it was just another night.<br/><br/>He then looked to Brock and the two adults, his smile still in place. "Would you both like to join us?" He asked, though he figured they would pick up on the undertone to his request... He wanted them to leave, to give him time to console Chris, to perhaps talk with Brock about things and just how hard it might be for him in the next few weeks or months... But before that, these two people had to leave. So, he gave them both simple, cold stares that Brock would be too young to understand, he wouldn't yet know that the smile he wore, the one he saw so often, was currently just a mask to spare a child some heartache... Something that these two clearly didn't understand. By why would they? They were only here for their own benefit.<br/><br/>Most of all, Finn couldn't understand why the boy's mother was acting this way. He could understand missing her child... But then why not just come home? Why bring a man who clearly would only fill the boy's head with crude words and vile things about his father? Why come and try to pull him away from his father when she could have just stayed and tolerated whatever it was that was lacking between her and Chris? From what he saw, it wasn't Chris that was really the problem here... Sure, he'd admitted that some of it was his doing, but to Finn, it was this woman who had made the choice to not keep trying even for their son's sake... Finn really just wanted her gone, but despite his instinct to pull Brock from her, he knew he couldn't do that.<br/><br/>(sorry, short)
