Something it was difficult at any point to convince Jacob of, but even more so in situations like these. Like a dog catching scent, he was now caught up in the idea, and Charles had admittedly known that would be the case the moment he uttered a word.
He isn't normally one for public displays, himself. Old instincts meant to shield him from hurt. But there are moments that a little boldness is allowed, perhaps meant for in fact, and instead of slipping off somewhere quiet he leans closer and catches the corner of Jacob's mouth in a brief kiss.
"We'll get there," he promises, and he means it. Jacob can look forward to that by evening's end, that's for damn sure.
