In the winter, yeah. ...I think maybe I'm supposed to hibernate? [Does he not... know?]

[agoodname]

[.....wat]

You're...not sure? [wtf]

[enigmaster]

Well, how can I know?

[agoodname]

[. . . . . . . . . . . .]

...that is a very good question, I suppose. [kinda??? but it seems rude to just come out and ask what happened to his family]

[enigmaster]

At the same time, it kind of seems like... I shouldn't. ...But then I fall asleep and it's days later, so.

[agoodname]

[Oswald hums a bit] If you wanted to rest on the couch, I could wake you up at a certain time.

[enigmaster]

...You could? [He seems honestly surprised Oswald would bother.]

[agoodname]

Sure. It wouldn't be too difficult if you're just there.

[enigmaster]

...That'd... be alright then, I guess. [He IS still looking very tired.] ...You don't need help with anything?

[agoodname]

I don't. [he folds his arms over his chest, leaning on the counter] I've slept well enough, thank you. [oh my god go sleep you ridiculous creature]

[enigmaster]

...Alright, fine. Just... wake me up if there's any problems. Or when the sun goes down, whichever comes first. [He'll finally get up from the floor, in any case, and... start going to that room. Wings still kind of folded around him, because. Comfy.]

[agoodname]

I will, I will. [he waves him off, watching him go with amusement. Right, he's just going to keep an eye on those pots for the next several hours]

[enigmaster]

[Yeah, Edward's just. gonna lie on the couch and he'll be out for a while.]

[agoodname]

[Great. Oswald will...busy himself in the kitchen, finish getting that soup prepared and the rest of it boiled down and prepared to be canned by picking out the bones, eventually he'll go wake Edward up for dinner once the sun goes down.]

Edward, it's sundown now. [he'll just...lean on the back of the couch. See what it takes to wake him up]

[enigmaster]

[Edward doesn't wake up, but he does move his wings a little to cover his face more. No. Don't wanna be awake.]

[agoodname]

[why is that adorable this is not fair]

Edwaaaaard. You need to wake up. [now he's sounding amused again]

[enigmaster]

Mhmrm... [Completely covers his face with his wing now. Noooooo.]

[agoodname]

[yeah he has to bite back a chuckle at that because that's so cute???

He's going to reach out and tug on his ear very gently]

Up and at 'em, sleepyhead.

[enigmaster]

[That gets his attention. Edward whines a little and looks up, eyes still very sleepy as he blinks.] Wha...?

[agoodname]

[lksdhfs Oswald can't quite help the way his expression softens] It's sundown, Edward. You asked me to wake you.

[enigmaster]

Oh... Mm, right... [He sits up a little and yawns, which... will also give Oswald a good look at all those fangs yikes.] Right, right.

[agoodname]

[MMMMMBOY THOSE ARE SOME SHARP TEETH. It takes a lot not to take a step back]

Also, dinner's ready. So come in the kitchen--I've ladled out a bowl for you. [there is, also, the strong smell of rabbit soup in the air]

[enigmaster]

[Edward sniffs, then, because yeah there is that. Ah... He blinks a bit.] Oh... Okay, sure. [It's a little reluctant, but he'll get up, yawning briefly again. But he nods. Yeah, let's go.]

[agoodname]

[right. There are two bowls in the kitchen, and the rest of the soup is pulled off the burner. He'll also see several jars with their lids off, filled with cooling, deboned meat.

Oswald will grab his bowl in one hand and slowly makes his way to the dining room on his crutch, careful not to spill any soup]

[enigmaster]

[Edward stares at his own bowl a second, before also taking it. He does glance at Oswald a moment.] ... [Yeah, alright, to the dining room.]
