[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.]

[agoodname]

[....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] Right, um. I'll just...put these away.

[enigmaster]

Okay. [he feels very weird all of a sudden and he's not sure what to make of it] ...Thank you.

[agoodname]

[alsdhflsdkh if possible his ears turn even redder] ...sure. No problem. [lakshdflhsd no problem oswald seriously]

[enigmaster]

[yeeeeep Edward's just gonna go quiet at that because he's reached his quota for earnest communication.]

[agoodname]

[YEAH HARD SAME] I'll just...um...grab my pajamas after this and then the bedroom's all yours.

[enigmaster]

Alright.

[And... honestly, he feels kind of exhausted. He looks it, too.

Sleep sounds... really nice.]

[agoodname]

[he'll just...put that leftover chinese food away before going to retrieve his pajamas, standing a bit awkwardly in the great room] Okay that's--I'm good.

[enigmaster]

Alright. Thanks. So, ah. Good night, then. I suppose. [he feels so awkward]

[agoodname]

Good night. Sleep well.

[enigmaster]

You too. [......YEP OKAY HE'S JUST going to head to the bedroom and quietly die for a while before he actually sleeps because what the FUCK was that]

[agoodname]

[....er]

"....well. That went better than last time?"

[enigmaster]

[OH GOOD] Mhmmm... [KILL HIM]

[agoodname]

"....apologies. I came at the wrong time, didn't I?" [at least Elijah has the grace to look sheepish] "Gertrude sent me to check that you both ate enough."

[enigmaster]

It's fine. We did. Everything's fine.

[agoodname]

[. . . . .yeah he'll just. sit. next to Edward, a bit cautiously]

"....it's a lot, isn't it?"

[enigmaster]

[Edward exhales. Slowly.] ...Kind of...

[agoodname]

"That's understandable. It'll all be a little better sorted in the morning, I think. Either way, a good sleep will do you wonders."

[gently] "I'll make sure Gertrude doesn't disturb you while you're preparing for bed. She's just...worried."

[enigmaster]

["Good sleep"? What's that, never heard of it.] ...She seems... the worrying type.

[agoodname]

[the corner of his mouth quirks a bit] "She is, yes. Part of being a parent, I'm afraid."

[enigmaster]

Is it. [doubt]

[agoodname]

[....]

"...it's supposed to be."

[his parents sure weren't so he kinda gets that skepticism, yeah]

[enigmaster]

...The data's a little skewed to the other side. In my own experience.

[agoodname]

"Mine, as well. At least, judging by my own parents." [. . . . ]

"But speaking as a parent myself, and watching my wife...it perhaps isn't what is in some cases, but it's what should be."

[enigmaster]

Mhm. That'd be nice. [......] All the ones I dealt with just kind of wanted to be rid of me as soon as possible.
