Third liver-- right. Just going to accept that. Charles followed Jack up, and couldn't help but stare at the octopus-creature in awe. Nothing like it existed on Earth, or maybe an octopus was a very, very distance relative, but the stop gave him every excuse to gawk like a child as a smile started to come to his lips.

Unlike the children mostly just excited to get on the 'ride', Charles would try to peer at as many of the different exhibits as Jack would allow him to, trying to learn as much as quickly as possible about places that he never would have even dreamed existed. It took effort not to stare at the 'man' who was directing them on the ride, wondering what on-- well, off! Earth that sort of alien was.

When they stepped up onto the black ski lift, Charles was almost vibrating with excitement. "This is incredible," he said brightly, looking to Jack. "Absolutely brilliant. I never would have dreamed it would all someday lead to this."
