We'll eat healthy tomorrow, mother, I bought plenty of groceries, including the ingredients for goulash, and they're in the fridge.

[primly because he's going to ENJOY HIS CHINESE FOOD MOM]

[enigmaster]

[IT'S GOOD FOOD and honestly Edward's sure not gonna stop eating it, even if he does glance Gertrude's way.] So it's fine then, right?

[agoodname]

[she folds her arms at that, sniffing] "I suppose that's acceptable."

[enigmaster]

[Hmmm.]

I'll make sure he eats enough, if that helps any.

[yes he WILL just say that in front of Oswald]

[agoodname]

[Oswald eyes narrow at that]

I beg your pardon.

[Gertrude, on the other hand, beams]

"Wonderful. And make sure you eat enough also."

[enigmaster]

I will. [And, to Oswald:] What? Was something unclear?

[agoodname]

[:/]

I eat enough.

"He certainly does not."

[enigmaster]

Then there won't be a problem.

[agoodname]

[SQUID]

...no, I suppose not.

"Just wait until he gets a new case. Then he will eat like the trash again."

[enigmaster]

Ah... Too focused on work. I get it. [Edward is throwing stones in this glass house he's standing in, but listen, at least he hasn't had much of a say in his own eating habits...]

[agoodname]

[yep he's gonna puff up a bit at that]

There's nothing wrong with being dedicated to my work!

[enigmaster]

Of course not, Oswald.

[agoodname]

[S Q U I D]

There isn't.

[enigmaster]

There isn't. I'm sure any statements to the contrary are just exaggerated. Yes?

[agoodname]

Absolutely. [HUFFY---and Gertrude just SCOFFS VERY LOUDLY]

[enigmaster]

[Edward just raises an eyebrow and takes another bite of his food. His expression is neutral, but.

He's.

Amused.....]

[agoodname]

[right he's just gonna...BE A BIT HUFFY... through part of dinner. But then he seems to get over it rather quickly]

So I think Fish is suspicious of my motivations a bit. [he sounds...more amused than threatened by that]

[enigmaster]

...Huh? [whomst]

[agoodname]

My boss. [he hums, stabbing a bit of orange chicken] She was surprised that I lost.

[enigmaster]

Hm. Well... You're not really the losing type, are you.

[agoodname]

Normally, no. [he sits back a bit] I covered by throwing Harvey's name into the ring--he's known for being utterly ruthless and very difficult to win against. But she's incredibly smart, and I think it's the stalling that's got her interest more than anything.

[enigmaster]

It did take a long time for what should have been a pretty simple case. That must look odd.

[agoodname]

It does. Especially for me. [he shrugs a bit] I'll handle it, though. I'm still relatively new, and most newcomers lose some cases. At least they won't accuse me constantly of cheating any more. [he rolls his eyes at that in obvious annoyance]

[enigmaster]

...That happened a lot?

[agoodname]

Oh, yes. [he smirks at that] First over my good grades, and then that I hadn't lost a single case up until now.
