"I noticed, even before we were alive," Charles said, reaching to brush his knuckles at Edwin's cheek fondly. "I mean, you tend to work without stopping, yeah? How many times did I have to tell you to stop? And remember when it got so bad I put you in a jar?" he chuckled. Of course, only Edwin's orb form fits in a jar. But the fact that he exhausted himself that much was... slightly scary. And bodies were higher maintenance than spectral bodies, so Charles swore to pay attention. Especially knowing that Edwin was injured.

"You mean we can take a nice, long walk together? But that's brills!" Charles grinned. "But if you want, I still can piggyback you there," he added.
