( Charles was surprised when they offered the van to him because up until then he thought he was about to be in a frustrating situation where he had to pay strangers to drive him to the capital. And everywhere after that. It is what Hank usually does for him and he's had to swallow his pride about that for a long time, but with Hank it's easier, because they are close. He was genuinely delighted when they showed him the van and how to use it. It's been over a decade since he got to drive.)

( Charles chuckles. By the time she was born he was already quite old, so he fits the old fart definition well.)

I'm a professor, a teacher. I teach people how to embrace their gifts and become stronger for it.

( Charles is very passionate about teaching. He doesn't know what he can possibly do in this world that will come even close to that, as they have no traditional education. He may have to live without it for an unknown amount of time, or find something else to be passionate about.)

What year are you from?
