[enigmaster]

What, so this is purely for my benefit, then?

[agoodname]

[Oswald shrugs a shoulder] It was suggested to me at one point, so I figured it would be appropriate.

[enigmaster]

I see. [...] ...Thank you. [It feels wrong to say that as a demon to an angel, but, well. Here they are.]

[agoodname]

Don't mention it. [...a bit dryly. Seriously, don't mention it. To anyone. he starts to walk out of the hut towards the beach and the water, stretching his arms above his head] I figured this place was remote enough, anyway.

[enigmaster]

Mention that I went off with an angel? I'd never.

[The corner of his mouth quirks slightly, there, because honestly. The trouble he'd be in.]

It is, yes.

It has been a while since I've been away from all of... that.

[agoodname]

Mn. That makes two of us.

I'm going for a swim. [just fyi]

[enigmaster]

...Angels swim, do they?

[agoodname]

This one does. [he smirks a bit] Quite well, actually.

[enigmaster]

You're not going to bless the water around you, are you?

[agoodname]

[he scoffs at that] That would be way too much work for how quickly it would disperse.

[enigmaster]

Doesn't that describe most of the work angels do?

[agoodname]

[. . . . . .] ...[:|] If that's all you've seen, then you should perhaps count yourself lucky I've been going easy on you.

[enigmaster]

I said angels, in a general sense. They're not all like you.

[agoodname]

[....] Oh? How's that then? [turning back a bit towards Edward and arching an eyebrow]

[enigmaster]

You're far sharper, for one. In more ways than one... [Sharp as an executioner's blade.]

[agoodname]

Yes, I should certainly hope so. [the corner of his mouth quirks at that into a smirk that is, indeed, quite sharp. Oswald has always been all angels, seemingly cut with a lack of anything soft in mind.] One has to be sharp in this sort of business, don't you think?

[enigmaster]

...I suppose it helps. It certainly stands out.

[agoodname]

Does it? [he tilts his head a bit] I'm glad you think so, then.

[enigmaster]

[Edward's not sure if he meant it as a compliment or not. Not an insult, certainly. Perhaps he did...?] It's... simply an accurate description. That's all. [But go... go swim, Oswald.]

[agoodname]

I'll take sharp over dull any day. [smirking--and he goes to head into the water, vanishing his remaining clothes as he does so because why would he bother???]

[enigmaster]

[Edward doesn't immediately follow. He goes a little closer to the water, but trails behind a bit. Just... taking in the scenery, a little. And if Oswald looks over at him, he'll notice a forked tongue flicks out of Edward's mouth for a quick moment, as if he's tasting the air. .............don't judge him.]

[agoodname]

[Oswald'd glanced back just in time to catch that....which is, honestly, adorable??? He huffs out a bit of air in amusement, before turning back to the water. It is, of course, the perfect temperature for swimming, and the sea is so clear that it's easy to see all the way to the bottom. And Oswald hums a bit, pleased, as he slips into the water]

[enigmaster]

[After a moment or so of just enjoying the scent of the sea, Edward decides... what the hell, right? Swimming with an angel. Oh, if either of their sides could see this. He heads into the water. Also vanishing his clothes, of course, because it is really just easier that way. And the water is so nice. Edward exhales, as he slips into it. For the moment just... content.]

[agoodname]

[for a bit, there, there's only the sounds of nature and the sea around them as Oswald languishes in the water, enjoying how it buoys hm gently. Plus it's nice to just...have some semblance of a bath. He's gotten used to a bit of human things over the years: eating, drinking and bathing being the primary ones. Maybe a bit of the clothing and fashion. It's all done to fit in, though. To try and not stand out like a sore thumb. Really. Eventually, though, he wanders out of the water and onto the sand, stretching out beneath the shade of a tree to dry off a bit]

[enigmaster]

[Edward exits later and doesn't take a spot in the shade, but rather lies down right in the sun. He might not be cold blooded exactly in this form, certainly not as he is in his other one, but he's not necessarily... not? It's complicated. But the heat is pleasant and, as he takes it in, he lets out a sigh that starts sounding like more of a hiss.]
