Finn smiled and walked to pair out of the apartment, gently assuring the man that he didn't need the thanks given to him. He smiled to Brock and assured him that they would see each other at school the following day before the pair left for the night. He closed the door and after a few moments locked it and then returned to the kitchen. He cleaned up the mess and made himself a plate of dinner and returned to the living room where he sat and clicked on the tv... It was really rather quiet here when no one else was around, but that hadn't been bothering him until now.<br/><br/>The night passed in the typical fashion, he ate dinner while listening to the tv but not watching it, and eventually, he pulled out some papers to look over and worked on writing up some class plans to present to the principal for the end of the year. It was something of an ongoing project of his, working hard to get the perfect year-long course schedule done to show when it came time for him to be assessed for possibly being hired as a teacher of his own classroom, though he had been told that it would probably take at least another year before he was actually considered ready, and he also had to wait for another teacher at the school to move or retire... So he felt he might be waiting a while.<br/><br/>But he didn't let that stop him from working just as hard, if not harder, than he had during college, and so it was nearly ten o'clock before he packed his things away and got up to shower. He pulled on some shorts and a light sweater to sleep in, an old habit of his to rarely, even in his own home, be without long sleeves. He sat on his bed and plugged his phone in, noting the screen was lit up with a few new messages all from the same number, but he didn't bother reading them... he was tired, and going out tonight wasn't in the cards anyway, so why bother even reading them? He knew what they said, he knew what was wanted... And tonight just wasn't the night for it.<br/><br/>The following morning he awoke at his usual time and followed his typical routine, though he did remember to add a tangerine to his bag for Brock just as something to add to the boy's lunch later. He was soon at the school and as promised he made sure the office updated Jeremy's contacts for his parents, and he also mentioned to the principal the incident from the previous night as well. He was aware that some might find him annoying, and the secretary probably thought exactly that, but he would rather complain for those who didn't have a voice to complain with... He thought it was the job of adults to speak up for children, not to force children to insert themselves into adult matters.<br/><br/>With all that finished, he was soon welcoming the children in for class, smiling to Brock, and speaking with him briefly about the previous night. It seemed that his mother hadn't joined them for dinner, but also that he hadn't really heard his parents arguing... And his mom had promised to pick him up today as well. Finn nodded, happy that the boy at least seemed to be in a good mood, and decided to leave it at that for the time being. And so, the day passed rather uneventfully, though he was glad he'd brought the tangerine when he noticed the boy's lunch consisted of a sandwich and some trail mix... But at least it was something.<br/><br/>When it came time for the children to head home he waited with Brock, assuring him that he simply wished to meet his mother briefly as he had his father, and when the boy motioned to the car that had pulled up he smiled and walked over with him. He had met the boy's mother a handful of times before, always in passing and little more than a few words were shared, however today he could see that something just seemed... Off. Still, he simply smiled to her in the same gentle, polite manner. "Good afternoon, I'm Finn Taylor, I spoke with your husband yesterday." He said politely as Brock went to get into the car. "I mentioned to your husband that if you ever need for us to know anything about Brock or matters at home you can call the school and as for myself, or send him in with a note." He stated, deciding not to go into too much about it in front of the young boy. "As I told Mr. Cassidy, he's doing great in school, and we just want to make sure he continues to." He concluded, feeling that was enough and planning to leave it at that so the pair could head home... He didn't want to keep them.
