[....] 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.]

[agoodname]

[oswald cracks an eye open at that, before he pushes himself towards his feet, wandering slowly towards the hut. there is nothing to do here and they don't *have* to eat but it's something to do, anyway, so he's taking a couple steps into the jungle to start gathering some fruit while Edward suns himself]

[enigmaster]

[Edward doesn't react, really, to Oswald walking off. He just keeps lying there. Face up, lying on the ground. Starting to doze after a few moments, because heat does have that effect on him. Can't really take the snake out of him.]

[agoodname]

[sometime later, who knows how long but the sun is getting closer to the horizon as Oswald nudges Edward with his toes, cradling a bunch of fruit in his hands]

I have dinner.

[enigmaster]

Mmm... [The sun starting to set means the nice heat is starting to disappear, slowly, which is... unfortunate. But he's still feeling kind of sleepy...]

[agoodname]

Edward~ [he nudges him a little more insistently]

[enigmaster]

Sssss... [It's kind of... an instinctive noise, as he rolls over a little. No. Sleepy. Please provide him with a warm rock to lay on top of.]

[agoodname]

[......what] Did you just hiss at me? [he sounds amused]

[enigmaster]

...Maybe.

[agoodname]

Fascinating. [dryly] Well, then, I know you're awake, so come along then.

[enigmaster]

Alright, fine, fine... [Reluctantly, Edward gets up.] Guess the heat's dissssappearing anyway. [And he coughs a little awkwardly. That was. Very unintentional.] I mean, ah. I'm coming.

[agoodname]

[the corner of his mouth definitely twitches upwards at that, smirking in amusement] Does that just happen on its own when you're not paying attention?

[enigmaster]

Sss-- [He swallows.] Sometimes, yes.

[agoodname]

[okay he can't help but chuckle at that] Interesting. [his smirk widens] Charming, almost.
