Charlie huffed a laugh when Dominic mentioned it getting too cold for him. He'd certainly had that problem when he was in Romania which tended to get long spells of snow in the winter, but it was far less of an issue now he was back in the UK. Although he rather suspected that if he visited Romania in the depths of winter now he'd be far less inured to the cold. "Oh, I don't doubt they're keeping them well. Some animals are more resilient than people expect. And if I remember rightly the weather in some parts of Africa can get pretty cold at night," he said. It was far from being his area of specialisation though so he wasn't sure if that was the area for the animals kept at the park or not.
"Oh, I could bore you both for hours about dragons. I'm not entirely sure about the intelligence levels of elephants, but sure dragons are pretty intelligent and have a whole range of sophisticated behaviours but they've never actually been tamed. And their whole method of interaction with humans is fire-breathing, biting and, you know, eating us so I'm not sure it's quite the same thing." Charlie shrugged lightly. "Don't get me wrong they're amazing and fascinating, but generally not to be fucked with."
He turned to grin at Genie in the back. "Yeah, black's what I use if I go running and it's not had any weird comments yet. Few stares, but I'm sure that's general 'the guy with a fake leg is running' shit rather than the colour of my prosthetic."
