[Oh, Edward looks quietly horrified. He's trying to keep his face neutral, but honestly, he's failing. The regret, horror, guilt, it's all too clear on his face right now.
[Edward blinks, looking over at Oswald. And he's... confused, honestly. He wants to ask just what Oswald is thinking, honestly, but...
But he feels a little bit numb and the pst few decades have really gotten to him, so he doesn't. After a moment or two of hesitation, Edward takes Oswald's hand.]
[he curls his hand around Edward and there's an odd sensation--and then they're not on top of that hill any more.
Instead, they're in what looks like a little...hut? There's the light smell of the ocean. Behind them there's only jungle. In the hut are two hammocks, a pit in the middle for a fire, a sky light. That's about it, actually.]
[They're elsewhere. It's sudden and yet not, because the sensation of being elsewhere from one moment to the next is familiar. The suddenness is almost more because he didn't know what to expect out of this.
The smell of the ocean is comforting, replacing the smell of blood and rot. Some tension - not all, but some - leaves him at that.
He still looks confused, though, as he just... looks around the hut they're in.]

Three decades. I thought they would've been done after three years, maybe.

[he huffs a bit] I suppose I am a little surprised, but not as much as I thought I'd be.
no subject
Well. You'll have plenty of opportunities to influence things more to the Right side of things. I think I'll... stay away from here for a while.

I figured we could both use a break.

I didn't really think you were the break type.
no subject
But you are.

It was suggested to me at one point, so I figured it would be appropriate.
