No, no no- of course not, Edwin. That's why I'm organising something with him myself, so he doesn't feel like he's been left out of the loop later on if he hears about John's birthday.
[There's an extra warmth in his voice:] We're making this for John. Let me handle Charlie.
[There is a CLEAR drop in his immediate anxiety, quickly replaced by growing enthusiasm.]
Yeah. Yes, fuck yes-- maybe not just baking? Maybe art things too, paint, and instruments, a lot of things John likes doing so if someone doesn't like baking they can still have a good time.
