Glad to hear it. It's important to keep a cool head, even under circumstances such as these.

[And if he can help with that, then, well. Hey.]

[agoodname]

It is. Thank you for your help, Edward. I...really appreciate it. [he almost points out that he's being kind again but...holds his tongue, this time. He doesn't want Edward to disagree, and it seems that telling him such a thing often does that.]

[enigmaster]

Oh, it's no trouble. I enjoy talking about these things anyway.

[agoodname]

About people coming back from the dead? Or being unpredictable? Or future plans? [he sounds mildly amused, lightly teasing. But he is also interested in the answer]

[enigmaster]

Strategy.

Chess.

[agoodname]

Aha. [can you hear his knowing smile through the phone, Edward? Can you?] Yes, that would appeal to you. I should have known.

[enigmaster]

What can I say? I like games. And oh, yes, chess especially.

I often play against myself to pass the time.

[agoodname]

Hmm...I wonder what would happen if we played, sometime?

[enigmaster]

Oh, I'd win, of course.

But I've no doubt that I'd have to actually try against you.

[Edward can you flirt without your ego getting in the way-- No, of course not.]

[agoodname]

Hmm...I'm not surprised you think so. [he doesn't agree, but...well. Oswald has banked on people underestimating him before.] However, I'm glad I'm at least somewhat of a worthy opponent. [flirty? Oswald? No......]

[enigmaster]

You're someone I can actually talk to an an equal level. I couldn't imagine you being anything but. [Are y'all flirting over chess. Nerds.]

[agoodname]

That's quite a compliment, coming from you. [he can't help but grin, cheekily, to himself, as the taxi pulls up outside the Van Dahl manor.] I'll take it.

[enigmaster]

I'll have to set up a game for us one of these days. When time permits it.
