[and the delivery person does knock--and comes laden with what looks like far too much chinese food for two people. And Oswald's calling from the kitchen] If you want to bring it to the table--I've got plates and utensils.
[here you go, Edward, your illegal imbibement. And the corner of Oswald's mouth quirks in amusement, before grabbing their plates and the other cups and a bottle of water to bring to the...rather impressive and overly large dining table.]
[It really is a big ass table, but okay. More than just looking at that, Edward takes in the room a little. Not... really just to look at it, though it is obviously very impressive. But he tends to do a quick scan for ghost when in a new place.
Less surprises that way.
...From an outside perspective he probably just seems distracted.]
[In a corner of the room, there is, in fact, a ghost. She seems rather unassuming, actually, and is sitting on the couch, leaning over a bit to read through the front page of the newspaper that's resting on it. She's dressed in an old fashioned maid's outfit, and seems to be, in general, ignoring them both.
Oswald, completely ignorant of her presence, has sat himself at the table--and glances over, curious ]
[And... god, honestly? Edward wasn't kidding when he said he wasn't picky. He barely even checks to see what food he's getting, because he's just glad to have actual food and not the stuff they were serving while he was locked up.
Actual good tasting food. Yeah, there's something he's missed.]
[the corner of his mouth quirks slightly as he watches Edward practically devour everything in front of him. Which...you know, he's not going to bring it up. Because yeah, understandable. It's good food. And also he hopes that he's...gotten enough to eat. In general. He is pretty thin.]
[In all honesty, Oswald hasn't had too strong of an appetite, and combine that with the fact that he no longer has his mother around to make sure he's eating properly, well...he really has no stones to throw in this glass house. But he does eat a bit more slowly than Edward, mostly picking at his food but more than glad Edward's enjoying it.]
"Honestly, liebchen--Edward, I am glad you are eating, but please tell Oswald to do so as well. He's gotten too thin!"
[hey so Gertrude's here now, leaning over Oswald's shoulder, hands on her hips]

Isn't this a bit too much food...?
no subject
Ah...perhaps? [he shrugs a shoulder] We'll just have some leftovers.
no subject
[Oswald there's gonna be leftovers for days here. And... he blinks a little as Oswald gets out the wine.]
Ah...

Hm?

[oh boy kill him]

That... doesn't usually happen anymore. Sorry.

[she huffs a bit, as Oswald chuckles]
It's fine, Edward, really.
