The comment of making Charles regret this had him raising his eyebrow as he looked on at his teasing submissive getting his breakfast ready. "I certainly hope not as there are plenty of things I can think up that are worse than ice." He pointed out casually knowing if he had to get creative he would. He did like the spark in Caden but at the same time knew he would have to keep an eye on him since the boy was too used to getting anything he wanted. "charged with neglect? I suppose that would not stand up much in court considering you are of age and the board doesn't think you're a child either at the age of 20. But I'm not planning to disappoint you even if putting me on the pedistale of perfection is a very high place to fall from." He finished off his coffee and uncrossed his legs from where he had been leaning back in the chair casually.<br/><br/>"I will do my best to get back soon." Just then Caden moved to give him a kiss on the cheek and it appeared to surprise Charles as he wasn't typically used living with his subs and being offered affection. He supposed that this was his own form of being pushed and something he was willing to give a little on even if he still wanted to remain guarded. It was hard to trust and one of the main reasons he thought himself far from perfect was that he damanded the trust from his charges and yet wouldn't give back much emotionally so he could be safe. These were the thoughts that he felt Caden to having picked out some clothes they would be loose enough to accommodate his injures and leaving a cream with him that he would need to apply.<br/><br/>He wished he had more time play but his work called... As it always did and he was forever chained to it sometimes without even realizing it. He texted Caden 'Be good.' right before he left out the front door knowing he would have to work hard to get everything done and come back to their dynamic which he found he was looking forward to. He also couldnt help shake the suspicion that someone was putting problems in his path just so he would go off and fix them. But he always had enemies and people undermining him. The concern now was that he had someone he needed to protect from that.
