[Initially, he's confused by what she took away from their conversation, his lips pulling into a soft line. He doesn't remember saying anything about calling himself something dark for the sake of the responsibility that came with that (nothing could be more dangerous and damaging) but that she took away that understanding, may mean it was how she heard it at the time - or even how she may have wanted, or needed to hear it. Rather than correct her, Charles merely nods to encourage her to keep going.
This meeting is about hearing her, not correcting ideas about himself.]
I'll do my best, with the caveat that I've only come as far on the subject as I have. [Her perspective, values, and life, are also completely different to his - but maybe that's the point? It could be why she asked him about this, and not the people around her. He doesn't know, and reasons privately that it's not important that he does, right now.] Can you give me more detail? What happened that brought you to this sea change?
