[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.]

[agoodname]

How would you feel about having Harvey over for dinner one evening?

[enigmaster]

[Edward tilts his head a bit in thought.] Hm... That'd be fine. [He does like Harvey, even if he's still kind of. Awkward. Around him.]

[agoodname]

We could play boardgames after or something. He does ask after you when I see him.

[enigmaster]

Oh... He does, really? [He's... maybe a little surprised.]

[agoodname]

Well, yes. He wants to make sure you're doing alright.

[enigmaster]

[Listen, the concept of someone giving enough of a shit about him to ask after him is still kind of wild.] ...It definitely wouldn't be bad to see him again, I guess.

[agoodname]

Lovely. I'll talk to him about it the next time I see him at work, then.

[enigmaster]

Mhm, alright. [Edward's quiet, but... not unhappily so. Being remembered, thought about, is... kind of nice.]

[agoodname]

[after a bit of comfortbale silence and eating, he'll pipe up again]

So. What would you like to do this evening?

[enigmaster]

Oh, um... I don't know. [Edward's quiet for a moment, but...] We could play chess, maybe...?

[agoodname]

That sounds lovely. I'd like that.

[enigmaster]

Ah... Alright, then. [Perfect.]

[agoodname]

Have you been playing against my father any more?
