| | I... I don't know, I've stayed in lots of places before. Some of them weren't great, I guess... [what is this she's? worried? about him???] I just... don't really like small spaces. |
| | [He ducks his head again. He looks... a little embarrassed.] ...I guess. [It's more than a bit.] |
[Gertrude's lips purse at that, and her brow creases into a frown]
"I do not think it is fine, Edward. Is not healthy for growing boy of your age--"
[the door swings open then, though, and Oswald comes back in, moving a little slower than usual so he can carry two cups of coffee, his cane hooked on his arm]
