I grabbed the key to his cell.
"Huh?" He said, piping his head up to the sound.
I opened the door, "Keep this key, and DO NOT lose it."
He refused to look at me.
"Charles Calvin, correct?" I said.
He nods.
"Alright, Charles, tell me exactly why you were snooping? To get us arrested?" I asked.
Yet again, silence.
"Charles," I said, softening my voice.
"What?" he snapped.
"Okay, no need to get snappy with me," I said.
"Fine," Charles said, crossing his arms.
"All I want to know is why you were snooping," I said.
"To do what you couldn't," he said.
"Ouch, okay," I joked.
"Henry! This isn't a time to joke," he said.
"And why is that?" I asked.
"Well.. well.." He couldn't find an answer.
"I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, I suppose," I said.
"Why?" He asked.
"Because you're Charles." I put my hand on his shoulder and said, "And also because you're a cinnamon roll."
"No." Charles stood up, "You betrayed my trust, along with the general's. You have no right to call me a cinnamon roll."
"Someone's mad," I said, sarcastically.
He kept his straight face.
"Alright, you're mad, I get it," I said.
"Do you though?" Charles asked.
"Explain your perspective." I sit down in a chair, "The floor is yours."
"Are you serious?" He asked.
"Yes, explain," I said.
Charles took a deep breath, "Let's see, almost 10 years ago, I flew you to that airship. Yeah, along the way we did talk, so I actually thought that we could be friends. I believe you wanted to bust in all dramatic, which at the time actually sounded like a good idea. You wound up killing someone!"
"He got cybernetic enhancements, he's fine now," I said.
"Now you're okay with what you did?" He yelled.
"No need to yell, I'm right here," I said, in an attempt to calm him down.
"If I'm holding an unintentional grudge against you, I can only imagine what he feels," Charles said.
"Charles, I'm sorry," I said.
"No you're not! You're only saying that to calm me down!" He kept shouting.
"I'll come back when you've calmed down,and when you're ready to have a rational conversation," I said, walking out.
