Charles is observant and sees the trepidation for what it is, so he does not press more than that. They've only just met, he'll keep his probing questions, gentle as they are, for another time. If he feels more comfortable talking on the other subjects, that's fine with him. This is better than the ache in his mind he's had recently, and came here to escape.
"I am aware that in the future of my world, technology reaches levels I would never expect." A cellular phone may be unusual for him, but it's not in any way out of the frame of possibility. It makes sense people would take the landline and wish to push it further. He saw the sentinels of 1973 and they were impressive, but from what he hears, nothing compared to the final product.
"A scientist who evolved himself? How interesting." That's what he's taking from Viktor's explanation. Research that led him to get magic. "Dangerous, though, I imagine."
