The request for his time did leave Charles something to ponder about. He had to keep reminding himself just how lonely the other must be in some way and he was going to be the boy’s constant companion. He watched to make sure the plug wasn’t too much on the stairs but knew there were plenty of challenges along the way that Caden would have to face today. Yet sometimes trial by fire was the best way to get through it all. He greeted the driver with a nod keeping his face rather unreadable as the small bits of smile and attention were reserved for Caden right now and he didn’t pay Nick much mind at first other than to be polite.<br/><br/>“I suppose you can say excited... it’s certainly going to be an interesting day.” He remarked watching Caden cope with the sitting position and choosing not to comment on it even if he wanted to smirk and say the other would need his hands at some point today but he was sure some of the amusement showed in his eyes. Those sorts of raw emotions were hard to hide and he was still sadistic enough to admit he did enjoy this. He turned back to Nick for the moment letting the boy cope and adjust as needed, “Tell me a bit about yourself and what you think of all of this.”<br/><br/>He left the question pretty open ended as he as interested in what the man might think ‘all this’ was. He could tell there was some familiarity between Caden and the man and thus maybe assumptions to be made, not that Charles cared much for rumors... unless they benefited him. Maybe that had been a bit of the downfall of his last position, being a little too blind to popular opinion and the gossip mill.
