The way the other was trying to protect him was cute really. He felt quite amused by it as he didn't feel all that worried about his position and even if he was he knew he had an impressive resume and getting rid of him would be no easy feat. It felt nice that the other wanted him there and cared about it. He drove following the directions quite easily navigating the nice little shop and approved of it with a small nod of the head. So far the communication between them was going better than he expected but he knew he could also come off as harsh and cold to many people. "I always simply ask anyone to try their best. Expecting perfection is a fool's errand and there might be times I ask things that would be hard to near impossible to follow. Progress on the way to it is still better than not trying at all." He was happy to adjust to what the other needs of him though he did enjoy someone obedient who can follow the rules as he doubted he could be flexible enough to deal with a full-time brat.<br/><br/>He would much rather be over-bearing than sadistic even if he did enjoy watching a pretty sub squirm. Struggling was really part of the appeal though and watching them attempting to please him always tickled that dominant part of him. Though once again he was very happy to just give Caden what he wanted, one could suppose to wait and see if something deeper developed and Charles did find the young man attractive but that wasn't always enough and he didn't know what the man thought of him in turn. Attraction was a complicated thing. "And in that case cake is a very good reward for trying your best and achieving it, in any capacity." He added thoughtfully as they moved to get out of the car. "As for being deprived, I don't know what you mean? I'm not planning anything yet... I am curious just what else you would want me to control. I suppose we could start on not touching yourself until I give permission but I wasn't going to implement that until you had more warning." He couldn't help but smirk a little as he spoke it.<br/><br/>They moved into the eatery and he scanned the menu, "Do you have any food restrictions or preferences?" He asked wanting to know so he could plan the others meals betters and often liked to order for his charge. They still didn't know each other well enough and the only way to remedy that was to find out as much as he could and keep communicating. "Do we need to fill out a worksheet?" He asked curiously if that was something Caden wanted or as he simply going to trust that things were going to develop over time.
