Huh... I guess that's nice. [Peaceful or something. In a weird bowling sort of way?] I've never really been, before.

[agoodname]

"Bowling?" [he glances over] "Here--we'll put the bumpers up. Then you can learn."

[enigmaster]

Mhm. I didn't really have any reason to go.

[He wasn't the... go out and do an activity kind of kid.]

[agoodname]

"Hey, fair enough. But it's fine; you're gettin' it now, right?" [the corner of his mouth quirks, as he starts up the game.]

"Here--you probably want a lighter ball." [he waves Edward over to the rack of bowling balls]

[enigmaster]

Oh... Sure. [Lighter ball, yep. He'll get that.]

[agoodname]

[He'll grab a significantly heavier one]

"Alright--so how you hold and throw the ball will help you not twist your wrist."

[and he'll actually take a solid fifteen minutes to show Edward how to hold the ball and how to roll it so he doesn't hurt himself--how to stand, how to aim, what not to do.]

[enigmaster]

[Edward is good at following instructions, so it helps a lot. He's actually getting the hang of it, with the extra help. He's starting to get... not bad at it.]

[agoodname]

[honestly Butch is pretty impressed] "Hey--not bad at all! You pick things up quick, huh?"

[enigmaster]

[Edward shrugs a little.] I guess... I like games. [Clear instructions and all that. He's good at that. It's logical. And his aim is pretty good.]

[agoodname]

[the corner of his mouth quirks at that] "Games are pretty fun. And they can keep you busy."

[enigmaster]

Mhm. I'm usually more the puzzle type, but... This is alright, too. [And anger-solving a puzzle isn't quite as effective as throwing a ball at shit.]

[agoodname]

[he can't help but chuckle at that]

"Sometimes you gotta physically throw somethin' to get everything out, huh?"

[enigmaster]

Yeah. I guess. [In fact, he's gonna do that right now. Throwing the ball. He's just! Mad still! What do with all this emotion. Feelings are garbage.]

[agoodname]

[and Butch is just gonna....study him for a moment]

"....you wanna talk about it?"

[enigmaster]

[Edward isn't really the talk about things type. At least, usually not, but in recent times people have been wanting him? To talk about shit??? And he is really mad. Ugh.] ...I don't know. [Yes. No. He doesn't know.] I'm just really upset with him.

[agoodname]

"I can understand that. He kinda sprung it on ya, seems like.

[enigmaster]

Yes. After I specifically told him I didn't need anything.

[agoodname]

"So he just didn't listen to you."

[enigmaster]

I kept telling him I was doing fine. Honestly... like I haven't been doing this for years before I even met him.

[agoodname]

"So....what? It seems like he doesn't believe you can take care 'a yourself or something?"

[enigmaster]

I guess, yeah.

At least he doesn't seem to trust my judgement on it, so.

[agoodname]

"Sounds annoying."

[enigmaster]

Yeah. It is. [It's infuriating!] Which would be one thing, but then he also told you about the whole... ghost thing.

[agoodname]

"Ah. That." [Butch considers that as he takes his turn] "I can see why that would be something you don't want spread around."

[enigmaster]

I tend to keep it to myself. Yes. [He tells people when they ask him directly, but that's another thing.] He doesn't have any right to tell people about it.
