Perhaps it’d been a mistake, approaching the man when he’d been seated on his lonesome but Oswald had his own reasons for the decision. Jonathan had been the only familiar face around the Asylum at current and therefore, established an ally for the Kingpin.
Should Edward or J have been around? Well. Oswald wouldn’t be there, taking up the empty side of the table and attempting to be amicable with the good Doctor.
“Yes. Here we are.” Oswald echoed, faux smile decorating his expression as he was glared towards, his own tray of the institute’s food barely touched beyond a spoon being stabbed into the small pile of bland goop. For a man with a seemingly neverending appetite, the Penguin was rather picky. Arkham’s food hardly holding a candle to what he would have preferred. Not to say he wouldn’t eat--eventually. When he was hungry enough.
The hell you doin’ here, anyway, Cobblepot?
That was the million dollar question, wasn’t it? Another false accusation from the GCPD; another crime placed on his own shoulders. It was almost insulting, to only ever be punished for things he hadn’t even done. Galavan. Martin. Now another--someone he’d barely even heard of, let alone cared enough to possibly strike against.
“Come now Doctor Crane. I had thought we were associates at least...” His tray was scooted aside carefully, allowing enough to prop his arms upwards, chin resting in his hands. “I simply wanted to say hello to an old friend. Acquaintance. What have you. Is that such a terrible thing?”
