Sean eyed the hand warily, uncertain and wondering if maybe it was all just a trap. It would be hard to fake all of this, though, right? "No, no, you're not in trouble," he said, tentatively taking the hand. "I just want to get you some help." And then spend a good deal of time deciding how he felt about all of this, likely with the help of a couple other people he'd go visiting.

"I can spell my name, want to hear?" he asked. He waited instead of going on. He wanted desperately to please, not to offend, not to anger, and only when he deemed it safe did he go on. "Eff-oh-ex, that spells me. I can write it too, but I'm not very good. That makes Daddy angry and then I get in trouble again."

"So...you're Fox?" Sean asked. He summoned the key and then started leading the way out. He wouldn't mention Ezra again, since that had brought out I'm-Going-To-Throw-A-Table last time. Mentioning other names probably wouldn't help, either. "Well, we're going to see a healer, not your dad so, it'll all be fine." Hopefully. He supposed that if the guy stayed like this the whole way back up to the castle it wouldn't be too bad, even if it was still weird.

"I'm Fox with a Big Eff, oh, ex," he repeated, answering the man's question. "Who are you? You don't look like a social worker or a teacher and you said Healer instead of Doctor so you aren't Daddy's friend." He looked curiously at the drawings on the man's skin, and suddenly gasped, then burst into giggles. "You have a lady on your face and you forgot to draw her clothes!"

Maybe Sean was just in a dream. People acted like this in dreams sometimes, suddenly shifting and changing to do whatever the dream-story needed. He didn't dignify the remark about his tattoo with a response. It was simply too strange when they'd had sex just a few hours ago. "I'm Sean. Ah, with a big Ess, ee, ay, en, and I've got no idea who your dad is," he said instead.

His eyes got big and fearful. "He's angry a lot," Fox said, his small voice scared again. "One time he got in trouble 'cause my arm broke and so Mommy got in trouble when he came home. But that's okay because I couldn't feel it. I get afraid sometimes but it doesn't hurt."

"I have a friend whose dad used to get mad like that," Sean said. "He doesn't live at home anymore, though, so he doesn't get hurt. You live at the school now, you don't have to worry about your dad." Unless the guy didn't actually go to the school and had just wandered in. Sean's eyebrows creased in worry at that thought, but he quickly dismissed it. People couldn't just randomly show up at the school, right?

His eyes got wide again, with a mixture of barely withheld excitement and worry. Living at school sounded like the best thing ever because school was mostly a safe place and he always got food there. "Will my dad find out if I make a accident?" he asked. Not have an accident, as he wasn't talking about wetting himself. He only did that at night sometimes. Make an accident.

"Uh, I think you've got to mess up pretty bad for parents to be told," Sean said. "We're adults, independent, there isn't any reason for them to tell relatives." The guy wasn't acting very adult and independent just now. Fox. It was like the guy had named his emotions. Fox was scared, Destiel was horny. He didn't know what Ezra was.

He laughed, an easy, childish giggle. "I'm not a 'dult!" he said. "You're funny Mr. Sean!" He looked at the fingers of his free hand. "I'm this many," he said, wiggling them. He didn't even see the art near his wrist, didn't think anything of the fact that he could see the top of Sean's head. He saw himself as he saw himself, and the world made sense somehow.

Sean raised an eyebrow as he looked up at Fox. "Really? Well, I'm twenty, I can't show that on my fingers." In hopes of avoiding He-Who-Shall-Be-Pissy he chose not to point out the flaws in Fox's comment. "And don't call me Mr. Sean. Mr. Sean just sounds like a, I don't know, like a kids' book character or something."

"I thought you were maybe a teacher," Fox said. "An' Miss Lobster-man says we should call grown-ups Mister and Miz." He screwed up his face. "I always say her name wrong but she doesn't get angry." His dad got angry if he heard it, but Sean said his dad wasn't here, and he believed it.

Sean handed the keys to the person at the desk in the lobby, thankful everything had been paid for the night before and they didn't have to hover. "Well, I don't want to be called mister," he said. "You ah, you have my permission to just call me Sean." Hopefully that would be enough. Normally, he would have loved for someone to say mister when referring to him, but everything that had happened had put him a little on edge. "I'm not a teacher, I'm a student."

"Ohhhh." Fox tried to decide what kind of school had both adults and kids, but it was already confusing so he didn't ask. "What's your favorite class? Mine is math 'cause I can do numbers. I like drawing too, but they always show my drawings to Daddy and then I get in trouble again." He knew he should probably just draw silly things like everyone else did, but it didn't work.

"Well, that's lame. Art's awesome," Sean said, glancing over at his companion and the art the guy had on him. "Transfiguration's my favorite." Transfiguration had changed his entire life and he didn't know what he would do without it. Well, that was a lie. He knew what he would probably do without transfiguration, and it wasn't nice to think of.
