...Okay. [He's... kind of glad, to be told that. He's not sure what he would do, if he was just dealing with feeling this lost on his own.
Edward doesn't even blink when Oswald brushes his hair aside. Like it's a normal thing he's done a million times. It feels... comforting.] Thank you...
Of course. [as natural as breathing. But...he is utterly exhausted] I'm afraid I'll have to retire soon--I've been up for quite some time. However, I don't want to leave you on your own. [he frowns, slightly] There's another fire place and a chair like this in my room where you could come and sit if you like. Or would you rater remain down here?
Alright. Then I'll retrieve Butch and we'll get you upstairs. [he rests a hand on Edward's shoulder, briefly, before pushing to his feet again, moving to get Butch and relocate them back upstairs]
[Oswald is going to make sure that Edward is more than properly ensconced and bundled up with a proper fire roaring before he even thinks of moving towards his bed. He should...probably change out of his work clothes but in all honesty he's far too exhausted.
He sits heavily on the bed, leaning down to undo his shoes, starting to feel sleep dragging him downward.]
If you--[oh but nope, he's interrupted by a yawn]...if you need anything, you're more than welcome to wake me.

I... I'd rather not be alone, I think...
[For some reason, the thought of being alone is... strangely frightening.]

[He... needs time to think, anyway.]
