Hearing Shylo bring up his blushing made his face darken more. "I'll bring it up then," he would have to ask the Dr. who was relatively nice enough. "I should get going back now...I might get in trouble." He still had that book he was reading, he wanted to get that before he forgot about it. "I-It's nothing," he lied, looking off to the side for a moment.

Shy smiles and a little static runs through him at the darker flush, "That's kind of cute." He whispers before letting of Chris. "Can I um... I'll see you when? Where?"

"I can probably slip out a bit later, but I think you should come with me now, to see if you can stay, that way no one will think I'm lying." He was an honest person, but being how he looked made people think otherwise.

"That... Makes sense," Shylo nods and lets Chris lead him back to the house.

Christopher headed straight back to the house, spotting someone on the porch as soon as he was in sight of it. That made him frown, he didn't recognize the person at first, but he did when he was relatively close to it. Up close he could see who it was.
"Chrsopher," A young man, but still a bit older then Christopher spoke. He had shoulder length chestnut hair, with dark brown eyes, and he was rather tall, but not too tall, he towered over Christopher for sure. Overall he was a handsome man, and knew it all too well.
"Charles," Christopher addressed the other in a nervous manner, looking down once more. He couldn't quite seem to meet the other male in the eyes, more so as he appraoched him and stoof right in front of him.
"Where were you?" Charles noted the others absence.
"I..." Christopher couldn't say he went out to read, he wasn't suppose to do that. "Someone was in need of some help," he motioned towards Shylo, still looking down.
Charles looked up when Shylo was point out, raising a brow at the man and his manner of clothing. "Can I help you?" He was obviously speaking to the male with Christopher.

"I am in hope of finding a place to stay," Shylo smiles softly. "I'll pay back whatever is needed and will even lead a helping hand if wanted."

Charles was silent for a moment, seeming to consider something. "I'll have to ask about that, but I figure you'll have a place here," he spoke with a warm look, more forced then anything though. "Give me a moment." That said he turned and went into the house.
"That was Charles, the Dr. son-in-law," Christopher felt the need to introduce the other male in a way, or rather talk about him.
It was a good five minutes later Charles was coming out with an older male, a man with dark brown hair as well, though not related to Charles either. "And what Sir, may I call you, I go by John, but everyone usually calls me Dr. Callaway," The older man, tall and realtively muscled, held out an arm for the other male to take.

"Shylo sir," He raises a brow at the arm thing. "Pleasure to meet you Doctor."

John, frowned a bit at the lack of a handshake, but let his hand fall to his side. "Shylo is it, well Shylo, I hear you need a place to say, nowhere to go, right?" He was just making sure he was correct here. "Well son, you can stay in here, no charge, I make enough as it is, being a doctor and all, and the slaves do provide." He chuckled, clearly enjoying his own little poke at the kess fortunate.
"So, if you'd just follow my son here," The doctor motioned towards Charles, who clearly had a look that showed he wasn't pleased with the new guy.
At some point he had mad his way down the stairs and next to Christopher, who seemed more apprehensive closer to him. He had just moved back from being a bit too close to the dark male, having whispered something unheard, when he caught his fathers words.
"Right, I can show you to a spare room," Charles was moving back up the steps and to the door he now held open. "Come on then," he was holding the door opening now, waiting for the other male to follow. Inevitablly intending to leave him alone with his father, Christopher that is.

Shylo had an odd feeling about the moment and he looks to the doctor with a frown. But he knows not of what to do, if he is to truly help the slaves he must not act like he cares for the moment. He goes to the door and his heart aches painfully. So he turns to the doctor, "Sir? Can I request he--" Motions to Chris-- "Comes with us... He, besides yourself and your step son sir, is the only person I know I can trust. And if able I'd like him to be available if I need him. Please sir?"
He waits with a look of plead, but on the inside he dares the other to refuse him. Oh he can feel a storm brewing not outside of him, but inside. And when he starts something it doesn't end well, he is just like his bearer sometimes and this is one of them. So he waits for a response from the only man he knows can give him permission.

Now it was Johns turn to raise a brow, he looked over the other male who seemed to request the assistance of Christopher, who was a slave as well, regardless of his lighter skin. He was silent at first, simply looking at the young man, frowning a bit with consideration. He did think to say no at first, because he wasn't at liberty to be that generous, and who knows what the other male was imagining to do. Somehow, he didn't feel he'd do anything bad, and there was something else about him. Something that said he should be careful, but he was a man that didn't give in to anyone.
"That so, you'd really trust a slave, more then you'd trust one of your own." He referred to the fact there skin held no color to it, not like the slaves at least. There was another moment of silence before John spoke again. "So be it, for now he can be at your service." It seemed he might as well to get tihngs going.
At the news Charles scowled, glaring at the newcomer, before quickly hiding it and turning, ready to go.
Christopher was sad to see he might not be seeing Shylo again anytime soon, he probably would get in trouble for going off as well, someone always told.
"Come on then," Charles spoke, moving on ahead already, but till waiting for the others to come along.
Christopher dind't hesitate to move forward, a faint smile gracing his lips for just a moment before he schooled his expressions. He moved to follow Charles, but not until Shylo moved ahead first.
John hadn't missed the way either of his sons looked, it made him wary, but not in the way one might imagine. This left him to consider a bit.

Shylo follows Charles silently after thanking the Doctor. And in all honesty his mother isn't that much lighter than some slaves. I mean Shylo's healthy skin color is about Chris' maybe a shade or two different.

Charles lead the way heading up to the second floor and to a room off in the back of the house. "Here, this is your room." Opening the door revealed a small room, one not so far off from a room a slave might have, but still above what generosity the family would give to them. "You'll stay here until you get going...hopefully sooner then later." That wasn't necessarily a bad comment, though he said it to be rid of the other male, it could have meant he wished him luck with getting to wherever he was going.
"Do tell, how long do you plan to stay?" Charles cast his brown eyes on the newcomer Shylo, then cast his gaze briefly over the following Christopher. It was just the three of them in the hall, but that didn't mean he could do whatever he pleased, he knew that well enough.
Christopher couldn't shake how nervous he was, though happy to be with Shylo. he worried about the future. He also had to get that book he left outside, maybe he could slip away and do that after this. Only after Shylo was into his room.

Shylo tilts his head in thought before, "Honestly if you'll allow me two weeks I'll be ready to leave and hopefully worked my worth whiles here." He nods and smiles to Charles. "I'll try to not be a burden any more than I already am to your family. So please... Can't we just be friends?"

Charles was honestly not expecting what Shylo said, he even raised a brow at it. For one this Shylo fellow did not really appear to be someone he wanted to be friends with, but did he really want to show himself as an enemy. "I suppose, we can be," he wasn't serious, he just didn't see a reason to act as he felt. Not that he had something against the man personally, but the fact he brought out Christopher like that had him wanting to cause a bit of damage.
"Would you like to be left alone now?" Charles would take his leave, and take Christopher with him, just to be alone. "Or is there something else I can help you with?"
