[Edward steps away again, then. Okay...]

Oh, um. Fine.

[He's. Definitely all better and not in the least bit still kind of affected by that ridiculously traumatic flashback dream.]

And yours?

[agoodname]

Dreadful, honestly. [he can't help but roll his eyes] They mixed up about twelve different files at the DA's office so we had to spend the entire day trying to determine what was supposed to go where and for what case. We had to stall several trials because everything got so completely mixed up.

[he huffs, obviously verklempt] Honestly.

[enigmaster]

Ah... [The corner of Edward's mouth quirks a bit. Oswald is just so offended and it's... kind of cute.] Sounds like a pain.

[agoodname]

It was! A complete pain! If the idiots down in records hadn't been such....well, idiots, this wouldn't have been an issue! But noooo we be too harsh on them! They're doing their best!

[he rolls his eyes, starting to unpack the takeout] Well then maybe their best shouldn't be garbage.

[enigmaster]

How dare they. [Edward is smiling a little, to himself. Fondly. Ah...] Well. I'm very sorry about the existence of idiots.

[agoodname]

That makes two of us, quite frankly. [HE'S. VERY PISSY ABT THIS] Honestly. You get a file, you put it away, not finish your coffee or your snack or whatever. How difficult is it to just do their job?

[enigmaster]

Apparently very difficult indeed...

[agoodname]

If you're an insipid moron. [8| the maid snorts at that, chuckling behind her newspaper] Honestly. It's completely ludicrous that they expect us to get anything done at all.

[enigmaster]

Maybe you'll get lucky and someone will sue them.

[agoodname]

Maybe I'll get even luckier, and they'll hire me to do it.

[enigmaster]

I'm sure that'd make you feel a lot better.

[agoodname]

It absolutely would. I can't abide by sloppy work.

[enigmaster]

Well. At least you won't have to deal with that right now, hm? Come on, let's eat.

[agoodname]

[Oswald blows out a breath, then] I suppose you're right. [he huffs a bit] Would you grab the dishes? I'll get the drinks.

[enigmaster]

Sure. [He'll get right on that. Get everything set up. There's plenty of time to complain still, Oswald, but also. Food.]

[agoodname]

[Yes, food is certainly more important.] Additionally, Meroni's starting to make a stink.

[enigmaster]

...Is he?

What about?

[agoodname]

"Cobblepot is too young to be given a lead in the next case! He doesn't have the experience to handle the finesse this case needs"--ha! [yeah he sure did drop his voice as low as possible to badly imitate Meroni] Finesse! Can you believe him? He would't know finesse if it slapped him in the face!

[enigmaster]

Mhm. He seems more the brute force type. Stupid, honestly... But I guess it must be hard, knowing someone so much younger than him is already better at this job than he's ever been, hm? [Fuck that guy, right.]

[agoodname]

[Oh. Well, flattery will just get you everywhere--and Oswald practically beams at Edward, flushing in pleased, flattered pleasure]

Ah, yes. That really must be a trial. His poor bruised and battered ego.

[enigmaster]

Mhm. It must be very difficult being an idiot.

I'd say you should have sympathy for that, but it's not really worth it.

[agoodname]

No, it really isn't. He fully deserves what he gets for the amount of stupidity he continues to infect the world with. [yep, brought the drinks back to the table now, and the glasses]

[enigmaster]

[Edward laughs a little, shaking his head.

But, all set up now. Time for food.]

[agoodname]

[definitely time for food. And Oswald is happy to have it. He'll wait a bit, before asking]

Ah...I had a thought earlier today, though.

[enigmaster]

...Hm?

[Do tell, Oswald.]
