[Are you going to be home on time or late today, Oswald?]

[agoodname]

[today on time. He has some cases he could stay late and work on but he doesn't want to so he'll just.

put in some extra time tomorrow instead

He just wants to go home and spend time with Edward. Besides he can do some work on the couch or something.]

[enigmaster]

[Edward is watching TV on the couch and holding his phone, when Oswald gets home. He looks a little annoyed... right up until he registers the sound of Oswald coming in.] Ah... Welcome back.

[agoodname]

I'm home~ [he hums a bit, noting the look of annoyance]

How was your day?

[enigmaster]

Ah... Fine, really.

[When Oswald comes closer, he'll notice the channel on right now. It's... one of those shows where a "psychic" talks to people's dead relatives.]

...Yours?

[agoodname]

Another ridiculously busy and stressful day, but I did talk to Harvey. [and he drops his case files on the table, before moving to sit down next to Edward] He said he'd be happy to come.

[enigmaster]

Ah... I'm glad... [Two whole (living) people at his birthday might not be much to some, but for Edward it's more than he ever could've hoped for.]

[agoodname]

I thought so. It will be nice to have him.

[.....he frowns, glancing at the TV]

...any particular reason why you've chosen this show in particular to watch?

[enigmaster]

I came across it while looking for something to watch. Then I got angry. Now I'm sending them a lot of emails.

[agoodname]

[he is. trying so hard. not to smile]

Oh? What about?

[enigmaster]

About the fact that what they're doing is a scam and they should go to jail.

[agoodname]

Well, I can't really disagree with you on that. These things are usually a scam most of the time, aren't they?

[enigmaster]

Pretty much always. It's just... some asshole doing cold reading or hot reading to make money off of someone's grief.

I dislike them.

[agoodname]

I can't imagine why. [dryly]

[enigmaster]

There's literally a ghost standing next to him and he has no idea. Honestly.

[agoodname]

So he's a complete hack. He's making a mockery of what you do.

[enigmaster]

Him and every other so called psychic, yeah. [It's... not great. When you've been ostracized for being different while, at the same time, people like that are making money by pretending they can do what he does.]

[agoodname]

Let's watch something else? He's hardly worth your time, then. [and he reaches out to rest a hand on his knee, comforting]

[enigmaster]

[Edward pauses typing on his phone, finally, and... his shoulders slump a little.] ...I guess. [Yeah, okay...] Sure.

[agoodname]

I don't doubt for a moment that he deserves all of your ire. But unfortunately, this despicable leopard is hardly likely to change its spots. Your time is better spent on other ventures. [he squeezes his knee] Like dinner. Shall we do some cooking?

[enigmaster]

...Yeah, alright. That is a lot better. [And he reaches for the remote, turning the TV off.]

[agoodname]

I certainly thought so. [Oswald just chuckles a bit, pushing to his feet and starting to make his way towards the kitchen--he's certainly got enough groceries that they can throw something together. ]

[enigmaster]

[And Edward is trailing behind of course. Yep, yep, time to look through groceries...]

Any ideas?

[agoodname]

Well, we had pasta last night...so perhaps a salad and steak?

[enigmaster]

That works... [And... Edward is quickly looking some things up on his phone.]
