....and that is grounds to just, I don't know, dismiss everything we did like it doesn't matter? Like you going to jail is six-in-one-hand? [yeah he sounds...pretty insulted]
Because I feel bad? I know it's... not my fault, really. [He was in the wrong place, wrong time. If not him, then someone else, surely.] But it feels kind of like it is, you know...
I don't want helping me to be the reason something bad happens to either of you.
It's...[well it's not exactly okay]...I don't want you to be hurt either. [that was said a bit quickly, and Oswald is definitely not looking at Edward, but rather fiddling with the box in his hands]
[Edward, on the other hand, just looks up at that. As if Oswald just said something completely incomprehensible. Honestly, it feels as if the ground just came out from under him, but someone turned off gravity at the same time. That's...
What does he say to that...?]
...Oh.
[Oh.
That's... he was hoping he could think of some actual words, but it's not happening.]
[....ah. Maybe he just--alsdhflsd he probably shouldn't have said that. It's weird, isn't it? It's weird. He flushes then, pushing to his feet, starting to gather up the rest of the boxes]

If there's anything else I can do, I'm sure he'll let me know sooner or later. Probably sooner.

....point.
[he takes a sip of his wine]
So...we've both got targets on our backs. What now?
no subject
I'm used to people not liking me or threatening me, but this is a little different...
no subject
....just a bit, yes. This is someone probably actively seeking to kill one if not both of us. And possibly Harvey also.
[....yeah he's definitely slipped into calling him Harvey oops]

...Maybe I should've just gone to jail.

...I'm sorry. I said the wrong thing, didn't I?
no subject
....why did you say it?
no subject
I don't want helping me to be the reason something bad happens to either of you.
no subject
We knew what we were getting into, and the possible repercussions. I think Harvey would say the same.
That being said, I'll talk to him about it at work tomorrow.
no subject
[He is, really.
Good going, Edward, way to mess up talking to someone.]

What does he say to that...?]
...Oh.
[Oh.
That's... he was hoping he could think of some actual words, but it's not happening.]
no subject
Right, um. I'll just...put these away.
no subject
[he
feels very weird all of a sudden and he's not sure what to make of it]
...Thank you.
