[a little more silence, maybe just enough to make Edward sweat because he's feeling jilted, before--] Yes. That's fine. [it's not like...fine but it's obviously the best solution, even if he hates it]
[hhhhHHHHHHHH-- OKAY. That was a little nerve wracking. He's never entirely sure how Oswald feels about things, but he's... rather clearly unhappy right now.
But this is for the best. So Edward nods and goes to stand.]
I'll be back soon, then. Okay?
[One of his ears is twitching slightly, nervously.]
[He tries very hard not to flinch at that tone, and he does succeed. It's... better like this, but it sure doesn't feel like that. He'll just... be on his way, then.
Time to meet with Thancred, ask around the camp, and do some digging into all this. He's gonna be gone for a bit.
Lots of running back and forth and being asked to help with things.
[of course. Oswald just...finds himself a spot out of the way and in the shade and settles in to sulk people watch. Dealing with this in a very mature manner, of course]
[Edward's busy for a while. It's... a lot of just, running around, so he's glad Oswald doesn't need to do it. Eventually, he does return. Mostly to check up and make sure Oswald's still doing alright, of course.

And as he joins Oswald, he'll hold out a bottle to him. Clear enough to tell what's in there right away.
Orange juice.]
Here.

...thank you.

[And he'll sit. Just... sitting a moment, quietly. But he's maybe glancing Oswald's way a lot.]

What is it?

Are you sure you're alright?
[he's...... kinda worried]

....I suppose all this traveling has taken a bit of a toll. [begrudgingly]

There's probably going to be more of that. Why don't you wait here and I'll keep going with the investigation?

It'll be very boring, anyway. And... this way at least one of us will be well rested when it's time to do something more exciting, right?

He's carrying something, too. Clothes?]
Hey.
See anything interesting?

[He holds the clothes up a little. They're... a very unfortunate looking hemp... disaster.]
It's a disguise. Thancred says we have to wear this to blend in for the next part of the mission, so, um. I'm going to have to change.
