"Do I look like a politician to you?" He asked Callum rolling his eyes. "I need your help with this." Because Merlin knew he was going to lose his mind if he tried to do this all on his own - assistant or not. "Maybe something like the Romanian reserve, except focused on teaching instead of research." It wasn't a perfect comparison for many reasons, but he could see the similarities, teaching areas instead of research facilities, observation areas. He liked the idea of it - something to give people a better understanding. A true reserve wouldn't really be realistic with the few dragons they had, but something like what Callum suggested - that could work. "I think we could do something like that."
He snorted when Callum reminded him of all the things they weren't going to do, and Charlie felt - relieved. He didn't want a marriage and he didn't want children, or to make statements, or anything like what the rest of his family had. He just wanted Callum at the end of the day. "Yeah, we're doing this together." He agreed, just like Charlie had said from the start, perhaps a bit differently than he'd thought in the beginning, but together none the less.
He couldn't help the way he arched an eyebrow at Callum when he raised the question of shagging other people - it was incredibly hypocritical of Charlie, considering he hadn't had any issue with the idea of shagging Marlene, but he'd much rather there wasn't anyone else. He cleared his throat and shrugged. "I think no works best for me."
