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?

[enigmaster]

Mhm, a few more times.

[agoodname]

[hmmmmm MAYBE HE SHOULDN'T HAVE ASKED THAT just gonna not think about the twinge of jealousy that gives him--]

Then I'm afraid you'll have a bit of an advantage. Our playing styles are similar in many ways.

[enigmaster]

Mhm, I'm sure it'll be fun either way. And you'll adjust, I'm sure. You do need to be strategic in court and all.

[agoodname]

Hm, I do hope so. I'd hate to make it boring for you~

[enigmaster]

I don't think you could do that.

[agoodname]

[lkasdhflhdsfs yep he's totally going to flush bright red at that, ducking his head a little, clearly pleased] ...well, I hope you're right.

[enigmaster]

Ah... I'm sure, really... [Edward's smiling just a bit and, uh. Yeah, you know what, let's go get that board out.]

[agoodname]

[aaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHHH help edward is

very very cute

h e l p]

If you're sure. Far be it from me to question.

[enigmaster]

[And once they start... Well, Oswald will find that Edward is... good. Very good.

You're gonna have to really try here, buddy.]

[agoodname]

[He is incredibly good. So...for the first game, he loses rather spectacularly.]

Well...that went rather quickly. [his eyes are narrowing slightly] Round two?

[enigmaster]

Mhm, sure. [Edward would love another go, absolutely. He gets... very into chess.]

[agoodname]

[the second round, he shifts his strategy. A couple of his moves seem random or erratic, but more like an impulse than anything. He's quite obviously going to lose again, but he's more paying attention to Edward's reaction to unexpected moves, whether logical or illogical.]
