[That's... interesting. Alright, he'll go ahead and pick it up, before holding it out.]

This one?

[agoodname]

Ah, yes, that's it. Thank you. [he'll take it from him, before tugging Edward up to his feet]

[enigmaster]

[Oh-- up he goes. And for some reason, he feels himself flushing just a bit. What...] ...Sure. No problem.

[agoodname]

On your way home, then? [he tilts his head a bit, watching him]

[enigmaster]

Um. Yeah, I guess. [Oh this is a conversation now. He was trying to find a chance to leave.] And, uh... you too?

[agoodname]

I am as well, yes. [there's a smile that curls the corners of his mouth, but it's...almost predatory] Why don't we walk home together, then? [and he'll push to his feet, gathering up his things]

[enigmaster]

[Oh, that smile makes him shiver, slightly. He needs to... get out of this.] Oh, uh... are our places in the same direction...?

[agoodname]

I'm headed in your direction today. A bit of a detour~ [oh and look at that, he's already ready to go, slinging his bag over his shoulder] Shall we?

[enigmaster]

[He's... slowly reaching for his own bag.]

...Do you even know where I live?

[agoodname]

[Oswald just hums a bit] Wouldn't you like to know~ [and he just...winks]

[enigmaster]

[...Extremely worrying, thank you. He needs to get out of this.] Ah, um... Well, actually, I should probably... run some errands first. So... maybe another time.

[agoodname]

Oh, that's no trouble. I'm not in any rush. [:)]

[enigmaster]

[ . . . ] It's just not really a good day for it, so, um... [He's just going to... start moving past Oswald, carefully.]

[agoodname]

Don't be silly~ It's just a walk home. [and Oswald will keep pace with him, easily] It's such a nice day out, after all.

[enigmaster]

It's Gotham, it's never that nice.

[hhhhh he just, speeds up a bit. and he remembers that prediction on his phone... it couldn't be...]

Like I said, I need to... go somewhere else, anyway, so it'll be out of the way--

[agoodname]

And like I said, I've got plenty of time today~ [pleasantly, walking a little faster, keeping pace]

[enigmaster]

I'm sure you have much better things to do. [Speeding up more. Time to power walk away from the unstable kid he always avoids. B o y.]

[agoodname]

I'm sure I don't~ [okay he is actually starting to fall behind because he does still have the limp lmao]

[enigmaster]

[Oh, good, there's more distance now. Just... keep it up, Edward.]

[agoodname]

[Oswald huffs in annoyance, watching Edward put that distance between them. Honestly. He's going to keep following anyway, though, even if he's a bit slower]

[enigmaster]

[Edward makes sure to turn, as much as possible, trying to lose Oswald. He makes it to the entrance after a bit of that, checking to make sure he actually managed.]

[agoodname]

[looks like he did! No Oswald behind him :)]

[enigmaster]

[Okay... Okay, good, now he can just start heading home by himself. Maybe walking a bit quicker and more anxiously than usual. He has a real bad feeling.]

[agoodname]

[yeah he should. There might be some movement in the shadows but...maybe that's just a trick of the eye]

[enigmaster]

[He jumps slightly at the sign of movement, but... no. No, just his imagination. He's just amped up, that's all. He keeps walking.]
