[Oswald goes quiet, looking down then at his hands]
...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
[to what? To worry? Shouldn't he worry, though???
He's honestly not entirely sure what he should do anymore.
But this is hardly the time for that conversation.]
....anyway, the doctor says you're healing well, but they want to run a couple more tests before they release you.

| | ...I wish I knew what happened. I felt fine in the morning. |
| | ...It's probably not a normal health issue, then. [This is probably a... him thing.] Lucky me. |
| | I mean... Injuries and stuff, when things got... violent, but... nothing like this. |
| | I guess...? I don't know if there's anything to find, but... [...] I don't think anything was different than how I've always done things. [he doesn't... want to think about this, but...] Do you think-- What if this is just... part of the whole thing... [What if seeing ghosts has just fucked up his brain and it's just catching up with him?] |
| | ...I've been trying to find out things about... all of this, for a while. It hasn't really led anywhere, other than... a bunch of scams, mostly. |
...I guess, yeah. Mostly it's been... stupid stuff. Crystals or candles or--
| | I-- There was, um... with the rest of my stuff. I had something with me. This pendant... |
| | Yeah... [He'll take the pendant and... right away, drops it, as it starts to glow and there's a feeling of familiar wrongness in his head.] Ah... |
| | [Edward breathes a little heavily.] That... That felt... familiar... |
| | I don't know, just... a store in town, I thought it was-- [And he looks up, though, at Elijah.] Oh... um... yeah, I'm alright... [Hey, Oswald, funny thing. The pendant starts to feel warm and... Your dad's there. Visible. And audible.] |
| | [At first, Oswald doesn't notice. Elijah's behind him, after all, and the pendant suddenly getting warm is more than enough distraction. He frowns, looking down at it--] "Alright? Are you certain?" [That is more than enough to get his attention. He hasn't heard his father's voice in so long, but he could never forget it. Oswald freezes, heart suddenly in his throat, as his head jerks around, body following, to stare, wide-eyed, at his father. The movement gets Elijah's attention, of course, and his attention turns briefly to Oswald--though he blinks at the staring. At his son staring right at him.] ...Father? |
| | Mm, yeah, I'm-- [Except then Oswald freezes and that is hard to miss. All of that is hard to miss. And then he... and then he looks at Elijah. Talks to him.] Wh... Wait, what...? |
