Ned doesn't know what he should do. Normally, he'd be all for passing off a drunk near-stranger to his longtime friend to take care of, but Meyer had been avoiding Charlie for a reason. So would it be best to try to intervene, keep the two of them separate for a while? Just until whatever's changed all of them wears off? Is he even capable of doing so, even if he does decide it is the best course of action?

Except that Charlie hardly seems interested in Meyer. There is a casual intimacy to the way he wipes the blood off Meyer's chin, but then he turns back to Ned. Why he's so interested, Ned has absolutely no idea, but he isn't sure he likes it. Especially when, apparently he isn't allowed to have his hand back. His aversion to touch might have lessened with these new powers, but hanging on like that just isn't normal,

But then it gets even weirder; a moment later Charlie, quite undisguisedly, smells him. Not smelling any of the hundreds of flowers around them, but him.

"Um... can I... help you with something?" Which of course is polite Ned-speak for what the hell is wrong with you.
