I'll worry about that. You sleep. [YEP THAT TONE IS BROKING NO ARGUMENT--definitely similar to his mother's]

[enigmaster]

Oh... Alright. Sure... [And he kind of just... collapses on the bed a little. He's... too tired to argue the point right now. Getting no damn sleep all night and running all over the city will do that.]

[agoodname]

[yep just gonna tuck him in--before grabbing one of his suits because he super isn't dressed for work and is going to go throw that on in the bathroom and quickly make himself presentable, before rushing off to work]

[enigmaster]

[And Edward is just. Out. He's... gonna sleep for a long ass time. Honestly he might even be asleep by the time Oswald gets back...]

[agoodname]

[that's...understandable. He'll be back later in the evening, just around dinner time, as he stayed a bit later to make up for being late that morning]

[enigmaster]

[And... yep, Edward's. Still out, oops. Might just want to go about your business, Oswald, the boy's very much asleep, if you're checking on him.]

[agoodname]

[he does peek in to take a look at him and make sure he's alright, letting out a sigh of relief as he does so. He's still there. He can't help but smile a little because, well...he looks very cute. And he'll quietly close the door and go to make some dinner]

[enigmaster]

[It's a little later, still, before Edward finally starts waking up. He frowns a little, as he checks the time. .......Ah. That's. Well. Kind of slept the day away, there. A few minutes after he finally wakes up, he exits the bedroom. Still... looking kind of tired, honestly, but less like he's about to fall over from exhaustion. What're you doing, Oswald?]

[agoodname]

[he's in the kitchen, now dressed down to his pants and button-up, which he's undone the cuffs and rolled up to his elbows in a bid to keep it more clean. He's in socked feet and an apron with lillies stitched into the pocket, and is...stir-frying something???]

[enigmaster]

[Edward makes his way over there. Huh...] Uh, hey. Good... [He blinks.] ...evening, I guess? [welp]

[agoodname]

[Oswald turns a bit at that, glancing over--and there's a curl of a smile at the corner of his mouth] Good evening. Did you sleep well?

[enigmaster]

I... guess so. [Mostly he just slept forever and he still feels very tired. Looks it, too... He's not sure if that's because of the quality of sleep or just his general exhaustion catching up with him. Probably the latter, honestly.] ...What're you making?

[agoodname]

Lecsó. [with a closer look, it's actually some kind of vegetable stew, maybe??? There's a lot of veggies and some soup broth]

I figured it'd be fairly hearty, since you've been traipsing all over Gotham last night.

[enigmaster]

Oh. Um... Mhm. Thanks. ...Sorry about that, again...

[agoodname]

[he stirs the soup a bit contemplatively] I'm glad you were alright, at least.

[he hums a bit, idly adding some more bell peppers] By the way, is my mother here?

[enigmaster]

Um... [Edward takes a look around. Is she?]

[agoodname]

[not atm. Just the maid again, who arches an eyebrow when he looks over, and asks something in Russian lmao]

[enigmaster]

[Edward... tilts his head a little, before shaking his head. He doesn't... speak Russian, sorry lady.]

She's not here right now.

[agoodname]

[the Russian lady rolls her eyes, but waves him off--and Oswald looks a bit disappointed]

...alright. Will you let me know if she shows up?

[enigmaster]

Of course.

[agoodname]

I appreciate it. [he looks marginally amused, then, for a moment] Well, at least she's not here to critique my cooking.

[enigmaster]

I'm sure you're doing fine.

[agoodname]

Thank you for the vote of confidence. [he sends an amused glance his way] She's very peculiar about her recipes. Can't add too much garlic or pepper or it throws the whole taste off, apparently.

[enigmaster]

Well, my frame of reference is non-existent, so I won't know either way.

[agoodname]

Well, in that case, here's hoping it's to your liking. [he sounds a bit like he's teasing, reaching out to add a bit more paprika]
