Ned looks sidelong at Charlie, marveling for perhaps the thousandth time at just how different he is to Meyer. There's still a certain amount of discomfort in discussing this topic, true, but Charlie seems willing but merely unaccustomed to it - as if he's never had the opportunity before, which wouldn't surprise Ned. Meyer, on the other hand, seemed to genuinely abhor it, even with a willing friend to speak to.
When he'd told Meyer he was in love with Daneel, Meyer asked how he knew, whether it could possibly be reciprocated. That said something about him, in the same way that the slant that Charlie puts on this says something about him. From the sound of it, Meyer isn't the first man that Charlie's been sexually involved with. But what about romantically? He did say asking for anything more, not wanting anything more.
"I know. Not intimately, of course, I can't, because I never lived when you lived, but I get it. I imagine in that climate any kind of sustained relationship would be... complicated. Enormously."
And what he has with Meyer is clearly not just a quick fuck. They've been friends since childhood. They live together, work together. They are quite literally partners in crime.
