[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 well alright then, they'll take that as their no and head out, until Edward's the last one in the office]

[he certainly does.

Which is why, at some point, there'll be a knock on the door frame]


Good evening, Mr. Nygma.

[Oswald, dressed in his normal finery and leaning on his cane, just arches an eyebrow, looking bemused.]

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.

An extra six hours, by my count. [dryly] Almost a double shift.

So...not boring, then~? [he smirks, leaning on the door frame a bit---is he teasing???]

[that smirk widens just a bit at that, indulgent]

Not at all. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, at least. Though admittedly I would rather you didn't make a habit of it. Burnout is a desperate result of overworking, after all.

A wise choice. [he tilts his head slightly] And how was your first day, then?

[personal profile] agoodname 2021-03-22 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
I don't doubt that for a minute, Mr. Nygma. As long as you're not overworking yourself, of course.

[Oswald does blink at that outburst--but then it settles into amusement again]

...Of course. I'm glad to hear it.

[....fascinating.]

I believe you will. You can always adjust your hours to times that suit you better, of course. I'm more of a night owl myself.

It is, rather. Most of my staff that work evenings are down in the actual Lounge area. So if it's peace and quiet you're looking for, that's the ideal time.
