Chris had gotten up with Brock and started to get some stuff ready, drinks and whatnot. But he got a call from Finn, and he was expecting him to cancel, and he had, but he had seemed remorseful about it. "Don't worry about it. Are you alright? Do you need anything?" He realized what he had just said and then he corrected himself, "You're helping me so I should help you too, that's why I ask... of course." He didn't want to be the one to tell Brock about that, but Finn couldn't be around all the time, but he didn't seem like someone to back out, and that's why he was worried.<br/><br/>He had Brock up on the counter in the kitchen as he retied his shoes correctly because he tended to make knots and have laces still dangling and dragging the ground. He had the phone up between his ear and shoulder. He didn't know why he was disappointed, but he was and he felt like he had no right to feel like this. They just met, he had done nothing but help him and care for Brock, there was no entitlement for his time, but that wasn't what it was, he just wanted to be around him. After Brock's laces were tied, he helped him off the counter and then held his phone with his hand, using the other hand to point at the blanket and the small cooler he had in exchange for a typical basket.<br/><br/>"Just know that if you need anything I'll do my best to help. It's only fair, right? And I like helping when I can."<br/><br/>"Is it Mr. Taylor?" Brock asked. He nodded in response. "Is he gonna come with us still?" He took a breath and shook his head. "Oh. Does he not wanna be our friend anymore?"<br/><br/>"What?" he asked, directly at Brock but still into the phone. "Of course not. He just needs some time, he's not feeling too great right now, alright? He still wants to be around us, I'm sure..." he looked at his hand pulling the phone away from his ear to stare at it. He took a breath, unsure now. He then put it back to his ear. "I'm sorry, Brock was just curious. I know we've put a lot of pressure on you, I can't begin to imagine it must feel to have people just come into your life and ask for everything and... and not really give anything back, but please, you help us, you help<i>me</i>, so let me help you."
