Finn smiled to the little girl as she eventually looked up to him. From what he knew of her she was always a bit on the quiet end, but seeing as he was himself he didn't exactly have any reason to complain about that. Still, he did worry... Was she just shy? That wasn't too abnormal for a child her age, especially with people who weren't family or friends, but many of the other children had outgrown that initial shyness in kindergarten, so he did wonder if she was getting enough time with others aside from her father when she wasn't here at school. He blinked at the question a moment before he smiled and nodded. "Mm, I was tidying up." He agreed, it was just them after all, though she had spoken so softly he did think maybe he had misunderstood.<br/><br/>Had he known she was so used to her father being late he wouldn't have simply tried to reassure her, but he had only recently been assigned to this classroom specifically, having bounced around between the rooms as needed prior. But finally, he was getting a chance to settle in a single room with the same children, and he hoped to get to learn more about them as the year went on... But of course, that meant he was going to make some mistakes when it came to dealing with them individually.<br/><br/>When the little girl finally spoke again he smiled, it was soft and kind, a little less like the forced and slightly overly enthusiastic smiles many of the teachers wore. For Finn, even with the children, he was fairly honest, he didn't force himself to be more excited and he tried his best to treat the children more like adults than many of the teachers did, within reason of course. He too often saw adults try to avoid their children knowing anything of the real world, rather than explaining it in ways they could understand... He didn't necessarily think that was the right way to do things.<br/><br/>When asked to draw he got the paper and crayons, passing her a sheet as well. "Shall we both draw then? I'm not very good." He stated, he wasn't really gifted when it came to the arts, especially drawing, but he was willing to do so while they waited, wanting to keep her from getting too upset if possible by her father's tardiness. "Do you like mermaids?" He asked pleasantly, deciding to take the time they had to learn a little more about her if possible.
