Summary
Charles was under no obligation to give Edwin a speedy answer, of course. Edwin knew, better than anyone, that these things took time.

And those desires were proving to be just as stubborn as Edwin himself. Edwin might want to wait for Charles, but they did not.

But Charles’ best friend was uncharacteristically silent, mouth drawn in a thin, tight line.
Or: What happened when Charles and Edwin left to investigate Niko's room?
