....Edward, you've been in those for over a week. Why didn't you say something before? If it's a health issue like that, then that's more than enough grounds to have you moved.
[IT'S NECESSARY NOW EDWARD--but Oswald glances over, moving to accept those paper towels]
Yes, thank you--[and he'll start mopping up that spill, before--] Mr. Dent, do you think it would be possible to make a case for getting Edward moved to a bigger cell if he was having some issues with claustrophobia?
[Harvey looks up. And glances over at Edward, who's... now having a staring contest with the table.]
"Oh, that should be very possible. I've got some strings here I can pull, that's no problem. We don't want you having trouble while we get this all sorted out, right, Edward?"
[yeah Oswald definitely notices that and is filing it away--but pretty soon they're at least done for now, and packing up all those papers. Oswald glances up at Edward]
Indeed. I'll follow your lead tomorrow--I can make it look good, at least. [he starts to push to his feet, glancing at Edward again. HE'S A BIT OF A WORRY BUT....listen he believes in Harvey Dent so there's that]
"You've lasted this long, so I faith in that. For now... I'm going to have a talk about getting you moved, Edward, so... Why don't you just wait here for a bit. I'm sure that'll be better than sitting in that cell, huh?"
[Just... another nod. Harvey is... also a little bit worried, so he glances over at Oswald.]
"...Maybe some company while you wait would help."
[Listen, Harvey doesn't feel great about leaving what is obviously a scared kid here on his own while he gets this sorted out.]

...I just mentioned to her that I have some problems with... claustrophobia... I guess.

[And that's about when Harvey comes back in, with some paper towels.]
"Alright, let's get this spill taken care of."

[Edward just... nods a little.]
no subject
[Oswald looks rather pleased with that result, as does Gertrude]
"There, you see? Is no problem."
no subject
Listen it's all kind of a lot okay.]

...I think we're done for the evening.
no subject
"Yes, I think so too. But that was productive."
[Another nod. Someone's... not feeling talkative.]

....Edward?

Huh...?
no subject
[yeah he's a bit...worried]
no subject
[HE'S. GREAT.]
no subject
Okay. You can tell me if something's wrong, later.
[he huffs] I really don't want my mother spilling coffee on my hard work again. [dryly, but amused]
no subject
[Edward hesitates a little. And it looks like he's about to say something, but then... changes his mind. Staying quiet instead.]
