Ned's eyes follow the trajectory of the rock that Charlie throws, wondering what is the best approach to placate him. Tell him about the future? Or will that just make his head hurt even worse? And besides, Ned thinks, the actual contents of that conversation are not likely to exactly cheer Charlie up.

He takes a different approach, "If you'd like, sometime I can go over the highlights with you, like I did with Meyer." Of course, Meyer may have relayed the information, but Ned also thinks it is possible that he didn't. He'd seemed... quite upset, after all. If Charlie does take him up on this offer, he's going to go about it in a much smarter way than he did then.

"But if I were you I wouldn't worry too much about not knowing. It's not like any of it matters in this place, anyway."
