Crystal snorts at Charles. “Yeah, well, you would say that, you’re a jock.”

Charles’s head tilts to the side. “Jock? Why - oh, ‘cause of the cricket bat? Nah, mate, that’s just a convenient blunt object. Never played a sport in my life, ‘cept a bit of pickup footie. I was a nerd,” he turns to grin at his partner, “like Edwin.”

Edwin raises an eyebrow. “I’ll have you know that at the time of my death, thanks to my skill at fencing I had earned the most athletic trophies of any individual at St. Hilarion’s.”

Crystal stares at them both and struggles to readjust her entire worldview.

Kinda crazy when crystal said “guys who make gay jokes are actually the biggest pu$$ies” cause that was literally her defending edwin and I think it’s a very underrated scene

#Charles thinks the same of Edwin though#he loves the kindness Edwin shows him and everyone who’s cases they solve#this whole detective helping people bit was his idea anyhow#clearly that shows how good Edwin is#and how he takes cases for practically (and sometimes actually) nothing#because he just wants to help people right#even more#edwin is never angry#sure he’s cold and bitchy sometimes#but never angry#not the way Charles feels angry#like a too full pot always simmering#just waiting for the chance to blow the lid off#they see the best in each other

I don't think Edwin particularly likes his own cold, self-interested analysis or his quick temper or his venomous tongue. I think he's accepted them as faults that he probably won't be able to change, but I don't think he's proud of them.

He tells the Cat King that he's ashamed of wanting to make a case for his innocence, to protect himself in the process of helping others, as though that would undo the good he does. He immediately calls himself out on his own vindictiveness when Despair tells him he was about to gloat over Simon's suffering.

I don't think he's particularly beating himself up for those things, but I do think he thinks of himself as selfish, and possibly cruel, and Charles as the opposite of those things.

Charles is the one who helps Edwin, and their clients, out of the goodness of his heart with no hope of reward. Charles is the one who had the option of heaven and chose Edwin instead. Charles is the one who never has a harsh word to say about anyone. When he says Charles is the best person he knows I think that's part of what he means: that he sees in Charles all the virtues, the kindness and selflessness, that he thinks he lacks.

(Charles, meanwhile, loves Edwin's bitchy side, and I think attached himself to Edwin at least in part because the kindness Edwin showed him in his last hours epitomises the good guy he desperately wants to be. But I don't know if Edwin fully believes that.)

I dunno I just think there's something fascinating in that - in Edwin's ruthlessness in holding himself to these impossible standards, and his view of Charles as someone who meets them.

Charles: Uh... so... Edwin, I need to tell you something. Edwin: Oh, finally! You're proposing! Charles: What?! How did you know?! Edwin: You dropped the ring six times during dinner. Charles: Edwin: I even had to pick it up once. Charles: Charles: I was nervous, okay?

Comix style.

Мне нравится представлять хаотичную химию этих троих, когда они окажутся в одной комнате.

Charles and Edwin with classic ghost abilities, anyone?

Charles can make rooms cold, of course. Even to the point of frosting up the windows, if he really tries

Edwin… I’m thinking electricity? Flickering lights, draining flashlight [torch] batteries; turning lights on is surprisingly hard but he can generally pull it off these days

In theory the powers are based in emotion, but they’ve got them pretty locked down at this point; even when Charles was beating up the Night Nurse the chill was restrained enough it could be mistaken for a cold front off the ocean.

Which means if the room goes icy and flickering-dark and it’s not on purpose… you’re in trouble.
