[ It's not even Charles that has the hair on the back of his neck raising. Not being at one hundred percent is one of his biggest issues. The vulnerability that follows. He trusts so few people to be near him, and the people that he will allow into his head is at a solid one.
The locals here are friendly and embracing, having no problem with touch, while the other planets, while welcoming, weren't as tactile. If the only thing Winter can have here is a bit of knowledge about them, then he'll take it.
