Yeah, it was definitely getting late... Finn didn't show this though, not as he helped the other kids gather their things and get them off to the buses or to their parents. Not as the other kids left, and soon the teachers were leaving too... Still, he didn't let his concern show at all. However, by the twenty minute mark the teacher, a Mrs. Smith, was clearly getting troubled. "If you'd like to go home, i'll wait here." Finn finally offered to her, the thirty-something woman looking to him with a relieved smile and just a bit of guilt. "Are you sure? I feel like you're always offering to come early or stay late..." She mentioned, but he already knew she would take his offer... All the other teachers did. "Yeah, I don't have anyone waiting at home for me. You should go." He said with a smile, and he didn't feel bothered either... He didn't mind helping. "Thanks, you're a real gem! Don't worry about clean up, just leave once she gets picked up." She said brightly, gathering her own things and saying a cheery and brief good-bye to their little charge.<br/><br/>With that Finn walked to the desk next to the little girl's and sat, smiling at her as he adjusted the sleeves of his blue button-up to ensure they didn't slide out of place, an old tick of his. "Want to draw something for your dad? He should be here soon." He said with easy confidence. Thus far he hadn't met the girl's father, though he had heard stories about him not being all too reliable... And he hadn't heard much of anything about her mother. Still, it wouldn't be proper for a teacher to show any such concerns in front of a child, so his soft blue eyes were gentle as he offered her some more paper and crayons.<br/><br/>As they sat his mind wandered... Was her father okay? He hoped nothing had happened that was keeping him, though from the general rumors he had heard the man was usually late due to work as much as it did seem he was trying his best. It did make the teacher wonder then... Was there no one else who could help out? If he was late picking her up then what happened when they got home? Were they eating proper meals? Was she getting help with her school work? Though it wasn't as though it was all that hard at her age, but what about as she got older? Still, as they waited he was all gentle smiles, chatting with her about her day and about whatever else came up while they waited.<br/><br/>(little short for my normal openers, but figured it didn't need five paragraphs of rambling XD)
