"I had to negotiate this morning to get Echo and Query to release that last gem of a bassist you hired for us, because they were very content to keep him hanging upside down in the foyer for a couple weeks. If I can do that, you should be able to deal with a couple of hicks." Edward didn't feel overly bothered by the course of the conversation, he simply filled Oswald's glass again, idly thinking that he really had to find some nice boy to soften Oswald's edges again. He was getting awfully sharp.

Suggesting that he needed to get laid probably wouldn't help, so he smiled at him instead. "You must get how much it would be worth to have him. Anyway, it's bullshit. Jonny's not breached anything yet. He finished his set and I've been looking through his documents, at his contract, nothing there says he can't go on stage with a satan-worshipping faggot like me. That's what his father calls me, by the way, what do you think? I like it, I'm thinking of using it on merch."
