[he really isn't. But Oswald smiles, and doesn't worry that it might be strained or tenuous, because Edward probably won't notice anyway] Of course you are. [his expressions softens just a little] Have a good rest anyway, Mr. Nygma.

[enigmaster]

Mm... [He blinks a little sleepily. Very zoned out, there's no way he'll be awake much longer.] Just... sounds weird when you call me that...

[agoodname]

[something in Oswald's stomach twists, hard, and he swallows against the sudden lump in his throat] I assumed you would prefer it.

[enigmaster]

'S... off... [He's pretty much on the edge between conscious and asleep, now, not really committing to either one. He's not really looking at Oswald, more so staring off into space.] Kinda... mm... 'nda stupid...

[agoodname]

My apologies, then. [Is it for the name? Is it for something else entirely? Is it for everything since they first met? It hardly matters. Edward probably won't remember this anyway, considering all the painkillers Lee has him on]

[enigmaster]

[Yeah, it's probably no surprise that Edward doesn't answer. His breathing's evened out and he's... very much asleep, now. For the best, really. He needs to rest up. There's still a lot of healing to do.]

[...that's...good. Better that he's resting. Oswald's spent enough time here anyway; it wouldn't do to make anyone suspicious. After all, it's supposed to be Cat in there. He turns and heads for the door.]
