Ken's everyday life back home is screwed up enough that Charlie being an 80-year-old wizard doesn't really surprise him, but then again their roommate is a 7 foot giant with horns and a torso as wide as Ken is long so maybe that's a given. Charlie's surprisingly ordinary compared to almost everybody else Ken's met, but he appreciates that. It was nice to have someone offer to go look for parks with Koro on the first day and ask about leashes and Charlie probably gets thrown questions from across the living room sometimes while Ken's reading for his homework and something comes up that he's confused about. You can't really ask the Iron Bull about American history.
Charlie was the first non-SEES guy Ken talked to so barring castmates, he's the person Ken's known the longest here. And he's glad he stuck around because it's really, really nice to tumble back into Nonah #005 and be able to call out an "I'm home" and that if Charlie's home, he'll get a response back. It's nice to be able to call it home at all! But the fact that there's a guy there that's been there since day one adds to that. The two of them and Bull've shuffled through roommates a few times now and Ken's been jittery about all the newer people who end up there, so the fact that Charlie's been a constant companion around here is way more reassuring than Ken will admit in words. But he does appreciate him a lot and he really likes him. Ken's come to really like all the friends he's gained here, and Charlie's pretty high up on the list of things he wishes he could keep with him.
