Charles expected to be refused on the piggyback ride but he had to try. And he was still in awe about the fact that Edwin's workaholism made him able to move a cloche when all he had were faint spectral energies! It put Charles as the brawn to shame, fairly. 

"Right, so I know how intense you can get," Charles nodded in a soft chuckle. He fell silent at the same time Edwin did. But he was watching him, lost in his thoughts. But he was alive. Charles wondered if people can fall in love over and over again with the same person, even if they were together for decades. It was possible, he thought, as he watched Edwin just for a few moments. Then Charles sighed fondly and took a piece of his own pastry again, pressing it to Edwin's lips. "Eat, yeah? Then do work if you must and then we get ready for our movie," he said. "And you better dress up nice because we're gonna take a photo," he grinned, cocking his head toward Crystal's polaroid camera safely tucked in a corner.
