Charles likes Josh! He really want to help Josh! But it's the funny situation where, on the one hand, Josh is a kid, and needs and deserves support from the adults in his life... but on the other hand, Josh has been through so much. The camp situation on a whole, with the timelines getting mixed up... it's just so strange for Charles, as a person from the beginning of a movement/struggle, to now be here with so many people, such as Josh, who are from the deep, dark middle of it. So Charles enjoys interacting with Josh on a more mundane level -- chit-chatting! science! mutants! -- but also wants to get to know him on a deeper level, while recognizing what a dark thing that is. And he's Charles fucking Xavier, so it's not something that he shies away from. But it's definitely something that's unknown territory and that he's figuring out as he goes.
