Something that gave you a stroke. [hissed, through clenched teeth--why does Edward seem to be just forgetting that all of the sudden?? And he's sucking in a breath through his nose, harsh, pressing the heels of his hands to his eyes. If he's careful, is it? He wants to find out some things? Oswald feels like he might've lost Edward to this thing if Butch hadn't been there; terrifying doesn't even begin to cover it. Why would Edward want anything to do with that thing?!
He wants to scream; he can feel it battering at the back of his teeth, and he clenches his jaw to hold it back. He wants to throw something, but he's not going to do that either. Oswald takes in several deep breaths through his nose, shaking; whether with rage or terror or a mix of both, he's not sure.
He just...needs to be a lawyer right now. Look at the problem like a lawyer. When he gets home, he can smash something, but not right now.
Another several breaths, getting steadier.]
What do you mean, "find out some things." [flat. he's not looking at Edward because he can't, but he's dropped his hands to clench fists at his sides, fingers digging into his palms, and he looks down at the duffel bag]
