[he'll watch him go, with interest. It will be quite interesting to see what happens with this one--he's certainly knowledgeable and competent enough. But that mouth on him...well, at least it's amusing, certainly. A break in the monotony that his day-to-day has started to become.
[Edward returns, of course. Making a point to be on time and dressing... well, like his own nerdy self, but maybe paying a bit of extra attention. He's still trying to make sure they don't change their minds and fire him.
...What? It might happen.
It's just... an odd experience, now, of trying to fit himself into the job. Not where he thought he'd be right about now. But... so things go, apparently.
[Penn will be there to greet him, of course, and show him to his office because he definitely gets his own office. Small, but it is his own personal space. He'll also point out where the break room is, inform him of Casual Fridays, and Donut Thursdays (instated by HR and approved by Mr. Cobblepot, of course.)
He's also told about where he can find all of the items he's requested--some of them are still in shipping, but some of them have already arrived and are in storage at the warehouse. Additionally, he now has a company email to use for any business emails he might need to send.
He's then told that if he has any questions, feel free to ask, and given Penn's email and cell number.]
[It's kind of... surreal, really. Well, maybe in part that's because he's been doing the freelance thing for a while. But, well, even then. Having his own office is new.
Kind of nice, honestly.
He tries to settle in a bit. Examine the items that have arrived, of course, make sure they're in order. And also, put a rubik's cube on his desk.
[fortunately, it's only at the beginning. The tide of people will soon slow to nothing as people get back to their actual work and Edward is left to his own devices.]
[oh very much so. He'll be left in relative peace until sometime near the end of the day, when everyone else starts to head home, and he's asked if he wants to join some of his coworkers for a drink]
[Oh. Gosh. You know, he'd just. love to. Except, you know, he's still setting everything up, so he really should stay a bit longer, just to get everything working right, before he leaves.
[He's... immediately relieved. One good thing about the freelance deal was, well. Not having to deal with any other people. Being all on his own here... It's nice. Peaceful.
He will take time to finish up, honestly, even if it mostly was an excuse to get out of that. Just... new place, new tech, gotta get everything in order.

He'll actually have a couple coworkers stop by to introduce themselves. Meet the new guy, right? Everyone seems relatively friendly, at least.]

Good evening, Mr. Nygma.

Oh, um... Good evening.

Do you normally put in extra long hours?

As...much as I admire your apparent decision to work a fourteen-hour day, I must caution you against doing so often.
