Charles: "Hey Edwin, did I leave the spyglass at that witch's house?" *gets huffy when Edwin isn't listening* *affecionately mocks Edwin to get a rise out of him* *Doesn't work, Edwin doesn't respond* *Visibly flounders a bit* "Sooooo you've been spending a lot of time with Monty!! You!!! And Monty!!! Spending a lot of time!!! Together!!! Don't forget we're trying to leave Port Townsend!!"
Edwin: *puts book down* *gives Charles the undivided attention and reassurance he so clearly is craving* *apologizes*
Charles, without even the slightest hesitation: 😍
... so yeah basically he's whipped, your honor. I rest my case
