I don't believe I've asked you anything. [With prim, playful smugness.] I've simply made you aware of a situation that's occurred, that might lead to preventing David from trying to fucking shank you in future. Those protections John put on him only work if he doesn't want to hurt you, after all.
He's not going to do that to you. [Just slip him out without warning, take him without asking.] Let him know you're interested, and you two can organise how best to go about that.
[ No. No. Arthur's right. John wouldn't. The fact that John wouldn't is an essential factor in Charlie even considering being mad enough to agree to this.
He licks his lips and thinks about why he is agreeing to this. It's not as if it's on a fucking whim. David, who it seems really has been fucked over and silenced about it, asked for Charlie to hear him break that silence. The framing device is just an unfortunate coincidence with an unfortunately coincidental resemblance to, well, you know. John wouldn't keep him there, he's pretty sure. ]
I'll do that now then. Thanks for lettin' me know about this, Mr Lester. I'll be seein' ya.

[But his voice softens when he continues.]
You... you know you don't have to, Charlie. I'm more than willing to speak on your behalf, if the idea turns out to be too much for you.

[ The answer is immediate: it's not the first time he's had this thought. ]

[He won't push. Charlie knows his own mind.]
We'll see you later, then.

[ Partly asking because he is going to need a fucking sleep aid if he knows this is coming. ]
