[THANK YOU! :D The crazy will pass...the crazy will pass... (This is my mantra; maybe if I say it enough it will come true!)]
There was a lot of information held within those words, and Aurus farmed it all, mostly storing it away. He didn't plan to do anything with it per se. It was just additional material for his mental file on Charles. He had a sister for one thing. And the "associate"? He thought he did detect a hint of pause on the selection of that word--something just slightly freighted with ambiguous implications. They could be a former lover, perhaps, but that seemed almost simplistic.
"He knew just by looking at you? And said so to others? I think I'm surprised. There's nothing revealing in your appearance at all, as far as I can see, and I'd taken him to be quite intent on discretion. That was my impression last night at least."
He also didn't see how any of this by any means constituted Hank getting one up on Charles. It sounded almost like the opposite. But maybe there was yet some piece of vital information he lacked.
