"Don't flatter yourself, you smelly barn boy. I just didn't want to show up to Oswald empty-handed, I had to make you sound a lot more desirable than you are." Edward stopped in the hallway so he could turn to face Jonathan, reaching up to attempt to fix his hair. Nothing much to be done, he really had to bring some product with him for that. Perhaps next time.

"I will admit that you have potential. I'd not have even attempted to talk up anyone as dull as most creatures you and I have to contend with all day." He put his hands on Jonathan's shoulders and smiled. "For now, your most attractive feature still remains your eyes. What can I say? I love seeing myself in them."

Loved that Jonathan was always observing, loved that Jonathan loved watching him. "I'm sweet on myself. Only natural."
