Zach seems to almost freeze at the question and Kiel waits silently to assess the damage. [i]'It's obvious he doesn't want to go. If he agrees to go I should suggest perhaps not. I don't need him feeling uncomfortable or anything. At least not any more than usual'[/i] His suspicions are confirmed as the boy talks about the crowds and the priest smiles warmly. “No, no, it's alright. We can hang out together here, watch the fish talk. I could just sit and watch you sketch of you like. I'm open to whatever you wanna do.”

His smile shifts ever so slightly as the waitress returns with their order, the expression a bit less welcoming and more polite. Kiel may love all of God's children, however he has a special affection for those abandoned by society like Zach. Once the dishes are in place Kiel says a silent prayer before shooting Zach a half smile. “I wonder if the food here is any good.” he murmurs softly giving the boy a wink before digging into his fish based dish. He eats slowly, keeping an eye on his ward, hoping to catch a little hint to his mood. [i]'I hope he isn't upset about the show idea'[/i] Kiel is a bit easily flustered when it comes to upsetting his kids, however he almost always can maintain a look of calm even when falling to pieces on the inside. He always tells his kids it's okay to be upset, however he rarely lets them see him upset.
