Hideaway Strath screaming at the top of your lungs

Charles was caught off guard when she suddenly said that he could tell her if there was something up. He thought he had her fooled, but it seemed that he didn't as much as he thought. Charles wasn't very good at talking about personal feelings, much less when prompted to do so.

He laughed off-handed and said teasingly, Yeah, and if you do tell any, I'd just tell them what your face looked like when you just put it in the water. Though the words were teasing, there was a sense of truth to them. It was the only way Charles knew how to make friends: Tell them why they were being dumb or otherwise imperfect so he could feel a bit better about himself (and better about his worth to their company).

Anyway, it's no big deal, he said with a shrug, though his next words were in stark contrast with his former: Just maybe gonna be a father.
