[.....what. And Oswald's expression morphs into a frown]

...I don't understand. If it was dangerous and even the ghost didn't want you to go...why did you?

[personal profile] agoodname 2019-07-21 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You just...went. [he can't help but repeat it because it just...it doesn't make any sense. Why would he do that? Just walk into danger like that, knowing exactly how bad it could possibly (and would possibly) be? He can't understand or logic it or follow the behavioral pattern that it might just be freaking him out a bit. He swallows, hard]

...I see.

[he doesn't respond for a long moment. He just....holds him. And tries not to panic.]

I...I don't know...[Oswald trails off after a moment] ...I don't know what to do. That doesn't make sense because you knew better. [his stomach is tying itself into knots, and his arms tighten around Edward a bit] How can I--what can I do? What if it'd been an even worse situation? [he's really trying not to freak out right now, and it's not really working] Will this happen again?

Can you promise me that?

[.....]

Because if you can't, then I--I need to know, Edward. I need to know so we can find a solution. So this doesn't happen.

...okay. Okay, that would work. [he hopes. As long as Butch is along, it would keep Edward much safer, right? This won't happen again???]

....thank you. [quietly, and there's something strung very tight about him that relaxes marginally. It's small, but it's something.]

[That should be comforting.

It is, a little.

But a lapse in judgement is being unable to judge a situation properly.

Edward judged this situation properly...he just chose a completely illogical path of action.]


And you'll take Butch with you?

[personal profile] agoodname 2019-07-21 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
...okay.[it's not perfect...but it's a start. It's something, at least.

...which is about the time that Butch is going to uhhhhhh step back into the room]


"Hey, uh...I got that first-aid kit."

[And Oswald's turning his head to look at him then]

Oh. Thank you. [and he's releasing Edward so he can take that from Butch as he comes over]

"No problem."

[Oswald accepts the first-aid kit and sets it out, starting to retrieve wipes, bandages, etc--when Butch pipes up]

"Hey, uh....I don't know how much my two cents is worth but, in my experience, people going into dangerous situations knowing exactly how dangerous they are do so either for reasons they're aware of, or unaware of. The people aware of those reasons are the thrill-seekers. And that doesn't really seem like you, Eddie. So it's gotta be somethin' else. What that somethin' is, you're gonna have to do some thinking about but...I'd start with look back on the past couple weeks. There's always some kinda reason somewhere." [Butch shrugs a bit] "Anyway I got another job I gotta get to but...let me know how you're doin', okay?"

"See ya later." [and Butch just...lifts a hand, before leaving. Oswald waits until he's gone, before starting to gently dab at that cut on Edward's face. There's a frown between his brows; he's thinking]

[personal profile] agoodname 2019-07-22 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ then they'll just...work in silence for now. Oswald trying to be as gentle as he can while cleaning that cut, putting anti-bacterial and some butterfly bandages on it to help it heal correctly, before moving on to any other cuts he has and following the same procedure.]

[.....]

I'm going to go get you some ice for that eye. Just a moment, okay?

[and he's going to set down the supplies, reaching for his cane to move to the kitchen and retrieve that ice and place it in a bag with a kitchen towel to blunt some of the cold. It just....doesn't add up. Or, it didn't before. But with Butch's parting words and the addition of his own knowledge...Oswald is having a bit of an idea of what might be happening. Or at least what a possible cause might be.

So he'll bring that ice bag back, and hold it out to him]


Here--this should help your eye, at least.

Of course. [he swallows, hard] ...are you hungry?
