Oswald relents and Riddler slips back, leaving Ed to handle it. "Right. Thank you. I'm sorry to have to put it like that, but that's what they do to us who have been marked. I've seen it. It terrified me. Even Riddler gets chills thinking of it."

He was prepared to help Oswald into the coat, just like he would at home, but if Oswald wants to pull the coat from him to put on, that's fine. He can do that. "Anything else can wait until we're away from the guards and back in the Down. The Down is much more like Gotham, active crime syndicates, few guards, those that are there travel in groups to avoid being preyed on by the residents..."

Home.
