In all honesty Charles was impressed to find his boy awake and looked pleased at that with a small smile letting him know. His signs or affection and approval were currently small but that didn’t matter when he could tell Caden was looking for them. “Not always, I try to be though. I don’t believe there such a thing as perfection but I do believe in self improvement at all times.” Charles wasn’t going to pretend he didn’t have his off days or make mistake, he considered a dom that couldn’t do that someone who was naive, young, or insecure and he was not any of those things anymore. Once upon a time he himself might have felt differently about that but age brought perspective.<br/><br/>“I will be out for a day or two, I hope it won’t take long and had been under the impression that it had been taken care of before I left but... once more not something I could have accounted for or predicted.” He shrugged casually moving to sit down. “I should be able to have some coffee but no breakfast for me. Please dig in.” There was a European style spread of eggs, cut up fruit, different fresh breads and spreads all to pick at as Caden wanted. It was seemed it had a bit of reward since there were jams that were sweet and thus not the most healthy in the world but not sugar that could easily overloaded on.<br/><br/>For his part Charles took his coffee blah with just a splash of milk but that depended on the stress of the day he sometimes went without. In this moment though he looked liked a leader preparing for battle with future challenges. It was interesting for him to witness even the small changes already in his submissive and he was impressed with how easily Caden had been curbed and attached, clearly concerned about Charles missing for a time as he craved the handling and their games. It was... curious... as he wondered how he had lasted so long without. “I wouldn’t leave you just so suddenly and if it’s to be extended I would find a way to make this work. After all I made a commitment to you and to your company that I don’t take lightly.” They had also taken a chance on him with his last track record, even if Charles had seen it as a fluke it had been a stain on his record he was looking to rectify.
