Charles had not felt the threshold from his 60'S into 70.
He hadn't even felt it when he had hit 75.
But now, at age 77, he was beginning to feel the strain of his age despite still maintaining his sprightly demeanor. Though not with aches and pains in his joints, there was a perpetual state of weariness that he battled through day-to-day and seemed to only find relaxing solace in the cups of tea Alphonsine affectionately provided him.
"No no, I am fine," he assured Talia with two gentle pat pats on the back of the hand he held. Two pats and then a fatherly rub over her knuckles before stepping away from her to take in Godric's Hollow for a bit. It had been quite some time since he had last been here, a family excursion with his grandchildren so they could breathe in history for a bit. Though Rebecca had been more interested in picking clover and daisies to make flower crowns than listen to Charles speak. "Still plenty of juice left in this old joints of mine."
He was not sure why all these additional precautions and measures of hers, but Charles was always willing to humor and go a bit above and beyond for a Trent.
"What, my dear, is wrong with the front?" he asked, the smile on his lips not quite reaching his eyes today.
