Wow, it seems Charles is changing for the not-so worse. I kind of like how you seem to bring back his old-self (before he becomes a Templar). The enthusiastic handshake reminded me of his first introduction to Haytham, and of course Matthew is utterly confused.

Also, you weren't kidding when you said Matthew was Church all over again. Wonder how he and Clipper are going to work together in order to bring Connor back. I'm kind of curious how Haytham is taking the news about a second grandchild and Clipper's involvement, does he even know his son is a vegetable right now?
