Finn turned to finish drying the dishes and put them away as the pair ate, though he did catch the other's gaze and he simply gave him a smile in return. He assumed the other was trying to thank him again, but he really didn't think he deserved it, he was only doing what people should do right? Regardless of if they actually did or not. Of course, he had no inkling that the other might think of him in any manner other than someone who was helpful, it wasn't as if he was really even a friend, right? Yeah, it wasn't like that, it was just like a babysitter and parent, it just so happened that he was also Brock's teacher... So even thinking about being friends was probably off the table. He wouldn't really know how to be friends to someone with a child anyway, not a good one.<br/><br/>He finished tidying up the kitchen just as the two finished eating, smiling as he listened to their plans. He was glad that the pair would get a whole day together, he felt like they needed it. He moved to fetch his bag and make sure everything was still in it, though he hadn't really gotten to actually get any of his work done and so he was soon closing it to get ready to leave seeing as he didn't want to intrude on the pair. He was just someone to watch Brock, not someone to get in the way of the little family. So, when Chris asked him about joining them the next day he was honestly surprised.<br/><br/>His first instinct was to politely decline, he didn't want to get in the way, but he made the mistake of looking to Brock and seeing his pleading expression and so he gave a soft chuckle in defeat. "I'd love to." He stated, and the little boy grinned widely. He was a little worried... was it really okay? But perhaps Chris was simply a bit nervous since it seemed the pair didn't often have a full day together. When he was then offered a ride home for today he smiled, but it was with a gentle apology. "Thank you, but I'll take the bus. I promised a friend that I'd stop by their place on my way home today." He stated as he saw no reason to lie... People did have friends, and leaving it at something simple like that made it easier.<br/><br/>"Would you like me to pack the lunches for tomorrow? Is there any type of sandwiches you two particularly like?" He asked, figuring out the details with Chris before giving his farewells to the pair for the day and letting them enjoy each other's company. He could tell that Brock was particularly excited to have his father for the afternoon, and the day tomorrow, and he recalled the boy mentioning that he had previously spent most of his time home with his mother and his father worked too much when they'd been playing. It had been a light, innocent remark, but it did let Finn know that right now the little boy was probably missing his mother, but also greatly comforted by his father.<br/><br/>He was glad for that of course, and as he took the bus to the other side of town he was smiling softly to himself and imagining their little day out tomorrow. It was a bit silly, but it would be his first picnic since he'd been pretty young himself, back when he'd lived at home and had plenty of friends to whittle away his time with. He wondered if he would have been so willing to offer his help to the pair if he'd stayed in the environment he'd grown up in... Would he have pried so much into someone else's business? He doubted it, and so as he got off the bus and headed to the elevator in the far fancier apartment building compared to his own he felt that he'd not make a mistake... Even if things were sometimes less pleasant, at least he'd managed to wind up as a person that could offer his help to them. Surely, that made everything worthwhile, right? In his mind, it definitely did.
