It's weird. You don't have fur, you wouldn't get it.

[agoodname]

[Oswald arches an eyebrow at that] ....no, I suppose I wouldn't.

[enigmaster]

It's really annoying, you know. Even just being under a blanket feels all wrong.

[agoodname]

[yeah now he's starting to look amused] I'll...take your word for it?

[enigmaster]

You should. [Huff!!!]

[agoodname]

Any other grievances you'd like to air? [dryly, definitely teasing, amused]

[enigmaster]

...I'm fine, thanks.

[agoodname]

Are you certain?

After all, there's not much to do now but wait for the soup to cook. [definitely still very much teasing]

[enigmaster]

[He just growls a little in annoyance at Oswald and looks away.]

[agoodname]

Well, if you're certain~

[enigmaster]

I am.

[agoodname]

Well in that case, I suppose there's nothing to worry about. [amused, still, and definitely still teasing--thouh his eyelids are starting to droop a bit. Even with this little activity, it's taken a lot out of him]

[enigmaster]

[Edward turns his head back to look at Oswald. Yeah, he notices that.] ...You should sleep.

[agoodname]

[Oswald shakes his head slightly-trying to wake himself up] What about you? You're the one that sleeps during the day, aren't you?

[enigmaster]

I can sleep later. I'll manage.

[agoodname]

[his eyes narrow a bit at that] I can manage also. [:/]

[enigmaster]

So you can go up the stairs alone, then?

[agoodname]

[he bristles at that reminder of his own weakness] That's what the couch is for. [....though.... Oswald leans back in his chair, casually arching an eyebrow] You make it sound like you want to carry me.

[enigmaster]

...What? [Just. Narrowing his eyes. Excuse?] ...I don't want you to pass out!

[agoodname]

[Oswald's mouth twists into a slight scowl at that, though his ears and cheeks flush red in embarrassment at the reminder of his weakness]

I won't. Not again.

[enigmaster]

Then maybe actually rest when you're tired instead of being stubborn about it.

[agoodname]

[his shoulders hunch in reaction, like he's being scolded] I will. Don't worry, I'll be out of your ha--fur sooner rather than later.

[enigmaster]

Great. Just make it to the couch before you fall asleep somewhere else. [Hey, you said it was fine, right, Oswald?]

[agoodname]

That's the plan, yes. [he sits back, arms folded, now rather petulant]</small.

[enigmaster]

Try to stick to it. [Good, they can both be petulant.]
