Oh. [Edward looks back down at his phone. It's... as good a place to look away to as any.] ...Right. [Yeah, Halloween hadn't been fun. And... still isn't. It's over now, sure, but... Only just. It's still sticking in his head a little. He's just used enough to things like this that he doesn't think about it.] ...Nothing to worry about, really...

[agoodname]

"....that's a relief. I'm glad to hear that. You two seemed to be having a good time when we peeked in."

[enigmaster]

...Mhm. [He's a little quiet, for a moment.] It was nice not really... thinking about Halloween for once.

[agoodname]

"Nothing like an evening of movies and junk food to take your mind off of it." [he smiles, a bit] "We just popped in to check on you two; we didn't stick around, don't worry."

[enigmaster]

Oh. [Ah...] Um, alright. Not much happened, anyway. [...He says that, but what could have possibly even happened, now that he thinks about it???] I'm just... glad the Halloween season's over and done with. It's nice being able to go outside again...

[agoodname]

"I can imagine it is. Gotham may not be the most pleasant in the winter, but it's certainly better than being inside all the time."

[enigmaster]

It's just cold. I don't mind it much. I have a good coat, now. [Thanks to Oswald.]

[agoodname]

"Yes. I imagine that helps. Oswald always did have a rather good eye for that sort of thing...it does suit you quite well."

[enigmaster]

Does it...? I do like it. I just don't know much about fashion. It's... comfortable.

[agoodname]

"A good piece of clothing should not only look good, but be comfortable and serve its purpose." [when he says it, there's a certain certainty to his words.]

[enigmaster]

...You feel pretty strongly about this.

[agoodname]

"Of course I do." [Elijah looks amused] "I was a tailor. It was my job."

[enigmaster]

Oh. That explains it. ...I guess that's where Oswald gets it from.

[agoodname]

[Elijah chuckles at that] "I suppose it is. I'm surprised he hasn't taken you shopping yet. He does so enjoy that."

[enigmaster]

He did take me to get a new coat. Does that count? ...We went through a few.

[agoodname]

[Elijah just chuckles] "It's a start, certainly. Though I suppose I should warn you: he spent an entire day in the store before his first day of law school, deciding exactly what to spend his very limited budget on." [he smiles, fondly] "Who knows how fussy he'll be with an unlimited budget."

[enigmaster]

Ah... [That'll be... something.] He does seem to be a little picky. But, if he enjoys that sort of stuff... [LISTEN IF IT MAKES OSWALD HAPPY...]

[agoodname]

"He certainly does." [there's a little bit of amused dryness to that statement.] "I would recommend bringing a book. Though he'll probably have you on your feet, trying things on."

[enigmaster]

I can read while walking. It's fine.

[agoodname]

[at that, Elijah chuckles] "I don't doubt it. I imagine it'll be a useful skill in this context."

[enigmaster]

Mhm. Shopping isn't really my thing, but... If Oswald likes it, it's fine. [He pauses for a moment, moving the crystals he bought around a little. Just... idly, really.]

[agoodname]

[yep, Elijah smiles, then, soft and understanding] "If Oswald likes it?"

[enigmaster]

[Edward blinks a little, tilting his head, but... continuing to look at the crystals.] ...Sure. [.......DON'T READ INTO IT it's only because he's extremely gay]

[agoodname]

"I'm glad that's important to you."[gently, but there's a small hint of amusement]

[enigmaster]

Why wouldn't it be?
