[Oswald shrugs a shoulder] Maybe not in this courthouse. But if they run out of lawyers, they'll go on to getting ones from a state over or something, so eventually someone will have to show up.
[...well honestly, what can he say to that?? He can't really blame Edward for all this doubt because it is, quite frankly, rather reasonable. It's a confusing, almost impossible situation, and in most cases with any other prosecutor, he would've been sentenced already.]
....right. Well. Guess we'll see who your lawyer is tomorrow, I suppose.
[there...isn't, really. the digging through clues and connecting the dots is something he's had to work on on his own, only occasionally bringing things to Edward when he needs confirmation or otherwise.

I was just thinking of it the other night, that...I've heard it gets cold in the holding area. A-and if you caught something, mother would never let me or you hear the end of it.
[As Edward opens it and sees the contents... listens to what Oswald is saying... he looks... incredibly confused. A little shocked. He's not sure what's happening, right now.
He just... looks back up at Oswald. And he's not... sure... really, what... what just...]
Oh.
[He looks back down at the sweater. For a bit, he's... quiet. And when he does speak, that's quiet, too, so Oswald might almost miss it. But...]
Sure, it's...I'm glad you like it. [....wait did Edward actually say he liked it wait he didn't say he liked it what if he doesn't] I-I mean, that you accept it--that it works? [HELP]

[Edward doesn't really sound like he believes it, but he's not going to argue either. It's... whatever, really.
...He's kind of quiet, now. More like he was at the start of all this.]
