Oswald doesn't put too much work into hiding the little smirk that emerges from Ed describing what Riddler would do to people he thinks need dealing with; fireworks and room for applause. What an ostentatious moron. But in a place like this, he might just welcome a little ostentatious violence.

But there is absolutely value in waiting. This, possibly, is one of the reasons he and Ed got along before. Yes, Oswald can be explosive and impulsive, but he plays the long game, both things that the two parts of Ed could share in.

His smile fades as another question occurs to Oswald, but he doesn't want to ask it because if he does then he may receive an answer. It gnaws at him, chewing and snapping furiously to get out, but he knows better, refuses to open himself up to something that he knows will be uncomfortable at best and painful at worst.

Instead, he settles on a dodge.

"More good days than bad, I do hope. Though I fear that may be a naive wish on my part."
