Now Shylo freezes, "Slaves...?" Now that's why I thought I didn't like this place. He lets go of Chris and backs away. "I... Why? What bastard would... That explains your behavior, I guess."
He pulls out his favorite pair of gloves and slips them on, only the tips showing. Then he continues on backwards, "I can not except anything from such a man. Thank you for your concern, Chris." Shylo shakes his head. "I'm sorry, really." And he turns to leave...

Christopher was surprised to see Shylo suddenly moving away? It seemed the man was upset, but he didn't understand why, it was just how things were. Perhaps he hadn't thought anything of him and that was also the problem, or maybe it was just the fact the Dr, was a slave owner.
Seeing Shylo put on gloves, he had a feeling the other male would be leaving. "Wait," he couldn't believe the other male was just going to walk off like that. He moved off now, walking after hi, reaching a hand out to grasp him by the shoulder. "Where are you going to go?" The man said he was lost , he didn't know where he could go. "I can still help you to, I don't have to call the Doctor to treat you." He knew the mans actual name, but he wasn't allowed to address him as such.

Shylo watches Chris then nods, "Okay."

Christopher assumed the other male had no where to go since he didn't answer, or maybe he didn't feel like answering. "Will you come with me then, or would you like to stay out here," either way you'll need to wait here or follow me.
There had been a brief mental debate as to where he would go, but he opted to head out to the fields, where he knew someone, a slave, that would assist him with what he needed. He was already heading down a path that lead to the plantation, it would take longer then going inside, but at least this way no one would catch him.

Shylo follows Chris after a slight hesitation. He knows in his heart he can trust this male much more than he could his own family. His falls into step behind the other and whispers, "Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me, but after this, I'd like to talk with you." Christopher didn't want to be nosy, but everything he had seen and heard so far, he felt compelled to inquire, or at least spend more time with the other male. He wasn't sure what he wanted to, such things were practically forbidden.
It was a few minutes later they were coming up to a hut like area, a home one of the slaves lived in. Fortunately for him he saw who he was living for. "Talien," he caled out to the woman, a rather plump dark skinned woman who looked up at him with a smile he returned. "I need something for burns," she was already heading inside and coming back up with sometihng in hand a minute or two later.
"She'll help you for sure," Christopher didn't doubt it for a second. "Let me see where you were burned." The woman came up to them now, seeming curious, but she didn't question anything.

Shylo bites his lip as he turns and pulls off his shirt. His back is covered, to say the least, with the brunt of his mother earlier attack, "The little bit on my legs I can live with, but I need to keep my reflexes up."

Both Christopher and Talien gasped at Shylo's bacl.
"Oh dearie," It was Tailen that spoke, suddenly dipping her fingers in the bowl she brought and taking up what looked like a salve. "You let this sit on your back for a bit," she already started to rub the salve on, making sure to get everywhere. "I'll need to wrap you up with something," she hurried with the salve, moving back to her home and bringing back some bandages that she started to wrap about Shylo. "No, you sure you don't want those legs treated?" She wanted to do those to, if it was alright.
Christopher was frowning the entire time, thinking back to what he heard earlier from Shylo.

Shylo shakes his head, "No, but thank you ma'am. I'll just wait for the next storm for those."

Tailen just gave a nod, finishing with the wrapping and backing up. "Well, there you go child, don't push yourself now." That said she already turned to head back in the hut she came out of.
"Are you going to be alright?" Christopher spoke to Shylo now.

Shylo nods and smiles, "Thanks." He calls after Tailen. "Thank you as well, Chris."

Christopher gave a nod, then looked a bit nervous. "So...where did you plan to go?" He asked the question yet again, wondering if he would be leaving now, or perhaps if he could help him with something in return.

Shylo watches the other for a moment, "Why are you nervous?" He takes the other's hand again. "I won't leave if that's it."

Christopher was surprised to hear Shylo seemed to care. "Oh...um," he found his chocolate brown hues looking at the dirt beneath his feet. "I was wondering, but I wasn't expecting you to stay." He could feel his face heat up as he considered it. "I don't know where you could stay around here...I mean I'll...I'll have to ask the Dr. If you want to stay there, there is extra room." The fact Shylo wasn't colored just made everything work in his favor.

"If the Dr. will have me Chris," He responds as he watches the other, smiling a bit. "Are you okay? You look flushed." Wonder what he's thinking to make him so. Or is the morning too hot for him?
