[ In a similar way, the Cat is choosing not to think too deeply on the fact that Charles seems to have a lot more understanding of what 'a boy can do with another boy' than Edwin had, and while it's not really all that surprising given that Charles is from roughly seventy years in Edwin's future, it still leads to a lot of interesting questions regarding the depth of his knowledge, and by extension, his interests. Charles being bisexual, at the very least, isn't a shock... but this readiness to flirt back is, and the Cat can't help but wonder if it's the amnesia greasing the tyres, or if it's something else.
Either way, he's not going to ask, because he has a funny feeling that if he does, this fun might end. And that isn't something he's wiling to accept right now. So, he tucks those deliberations neatly into the back of his mind, to ponder later, perhaps when the shine of this situation has dulled and he's become bored and wants a little roughness to his interactions instead of that admiring little smile. If such a time ever comes.
Charles' response has the Cat raising his eyebrows a little. Fine? What kind of answer is that?? He thinks back to when he'd seen Charles up there again, and wonders if Charles' memory is recalling it too, however abstractly it can recall anything in its current state. Was Crystal asking him if he was alright, and had he responded the way he's doing now - saying he's fine but looking anything but?
Well, best to play the game and find out, though he might come to regret this. ]
