Never?? Charles would have thought that would be the first thing to do once inside one's own mind. But then he tends to think differently than most humans.
He follows Arthur's lead, perking up with a warm smile as he's introduced. There is a difference in response, the projection does see Arthur as if he is ok...but still won't regard Charles with anything but a cold stare.
Enough of this, Charles is taking matters into his own hands. He takes the lady's hand in his own, speaking levelly, "I'm a very good friend, I would never let any harm come to Arthur. You know that's true." there's a weight behind his words, giving Arthur's subconscious a nudge in the right direction so he will completely trust him.
The effect is startling, there's a hint of a smile at Charles, not unlike Arthur's own. And she moves to walk on by, the cold environment mellowed slightly around them. "How was that?" Charles asks, quite pleased with himself. It might not last, but he'll take what he can get for now.
