As a friend, you're more valuable to me than you might ever realise. That I have so much yet to learn is not what our friendship hinges on.

But you and I both know that Gotham needs you.

[beaky]

It's so strange to me. To have friends like this. I'm not entirely used to the idea. Not to say that I don't like it. You're already more promising than the last man I considered a friend.

Gotham is a complicated beast, I don't know if I could do much to get her back.

[riddleman]

I believe that upon reflection, you might be the only person that has ever been able to actually stand my company. So I concur.

My dear friend. If anyone can tame this beast, it is you.

[beaky]

Very true, my friend. Perhaps we were destined to be together, one way or another. My mother always used to say that you can tell when a friend is true and I just have this feeling about us.

Perhaps us. You never know what the future holds.

[riddleman]

Your mother was a wise woman. I do believe in fate. At least with the people most important in my life.

Perhaps you. But I'd be happy to aid you.

[beaky]

She was, she was the wisest person I ever knew. Her advise has never steered me wrong. And neither has yours.

You don't wish to climb higher?

[riddleman]

I believe that I am less about the destination and more about the journey.

And perhaps about your destination.

[beaky]

I can see big things in your future, Ed.

Can I call you Ed? It feels strange just calling you Mr Nygma all the time when we share clothes and all.

[riddleman]

You certainly may. I mean, you can. Sure thing, go ahead.

I dig it.

[beaky]

Dig it? I like that.

You say the most amusing things, Ed.

[riddleman]

Sure, that's me. A regular joker.

Language is a tool. I like wielding it.

[beaky]

You are awfully funny, especially when you're gaming. You get so excited.

Same as when you take a life.

[riddleman]

I just want all those n00bs to get out of my way.

I reiterate above statement.

[beaky]

I could watch you game all day. Not that I'm any good at it myself but you, Edward, are entertaining to watch.

I love your passion. And your manner of speech.

[riddleman]

You flatter me. I know it is perhaps childish, but there are valuable lessons to be learned as well.

You'll make me blush.

[beaky]

I learned that using some rather unrepeatable words and threatening to get frisky with another players mother is how people 'trash talk' these days.

I'm sorry, I can't help myself. I never hold back when I value someone.

[riddleman]

I'm afraid it's not a contest in sophistication. You are a quick learner. Something else we have in common.

You never really seem to hold back at all. I enjoy that.

[beaky]

While I could never trash talk in a manner like that, I feel I more than held my own when that rude young man implied things about my own mother. did we ever manage to track him down? I still owe him a visit.

Holding back is a hindrance more often than not.

[riddleman]

Of course I tracked him down for you, my friend. I shall deliver him as soon as I can.

I agree. There doesn't seem to be much reason to.

[beaky]

you're a good one, Ed. How did I live without you?

I think the less we hold back, the more we achieve.

[riddleman]

I can be stolen or given away and you will live, yet you cannot live without me.

[beaky]

You've stumped me again, I'm afraid.

I give!

[riddleman]

Don't worry about it, my dear friend.

The answer is yours even so.

[beaky]

I'll work it out eventually, you watch.

So when do you get home anyway?

[riddleman]

I'll wait with anticipation.

I am finishing up. What do you want for dinner?
