Well. We'll see about that. [Oswald sniffs a bit, even as he reaches for the lettuce to start making the salad] I'll bring home dinner tomorrow night.

[Oswald, please, it's not a challenge...

Edward just. blinks a little.]

Oh. Alright.

[IT IS NOW!!!]

Clearly we need to expand your palate.

Ah, well. I guess that's alright.

So glad to have your approval. [he sounds amused]

Ah...

[....]

Well, it seems important to you, so...

[Oswald considers that for a moment, as though he hadn't really thought of it]

...I suppose I do have a bit of a thing for fine foods.

Mhm... I guess liking fine things is kind of... your thing, huh?

[Oswald flushes a bit at that--but kind of sniffs] Well...I can afford it, now. So there's nothing wrong with that, is there?

I didn't mean it like a bad thing. It's just a you thing, right?

Nothing wrong with that at all.

[something that he hadn't quite realized had been coiled tight relaxes a bit]

Speaking of.....

Hm...?

I was thinking that perhaps it would be good to expand your closet a little. What, with it getting colder and all. You'll need more than just a coat.

Ah... You think? I don't... really need a lot, I think...

[No, he super does, he's just bad at accepting help too. His wardrobe is a mess. Clothes that are too worn, too small, or just... really not suited to him. The wardrobe of someone who really has just been relying on whatever people had available for a long time...]

We'll go on Saturday, then. I have that day off this week, so that will give us plenty of time to go shopping.

A-Ah... Um...

[Was he just ignored...?]

Yeah...?

[..........."no" isn't really an option, is it?]

Do you have any specific stores you like? Or styles?

Um... Not really. I've never really, um...

[Edward fidgets awkwardly for a moment.]

I've never really thought about it much before, you know?

[He's never really had an opportunity to go shopping like that, is what he feels a little awkward about admitting straight up.]

Well...fair enough. I suppose we can try a couple different places and you can see if you have a preference.

Oh... Sure. That's fine...

[...Wait, is it? When did he start agreeing to this? Ahhhh...]

Lovely~ It'll be fun. [in fact, he looks pretty pleased at the whole prospect of this]

I'll take your word for it...

You'll see, come Saturday~ [he smirks at that, clearly a tease]

Alright, then... I guess I will?

You most certainly will~ I'll make sure it'll be memorable.
