Massive thanks to the dead gay detectives and cat and mouse servers for suggestions and general loveliness 💜
Edwin rarely initiates touch. He touches people when that are in danger or in response to the other person touching him first, but barely never does he initiate touch out of care for someone. That's what makes this scenes so important to me:
(First and only time he is touching them)
And then there's Charles, who always initiates that constant casual and cozy contact they have. So the few times Edwin is the one starting it seem so much more powerful to me now...
And for those of you wondering about Crystal, he does touch her a few times (he touches her the most out of the others, apart from Charles), but just mainly because they are on a case and she has a life to lose or she is the one touching him, so... I didn't add her... I'm sorry Crystal, Edwin just needs a bit more time to show he cares about you in that way.
I watched Mary Poppins with my gran on new years day and a vision beemed into my head of this lmao
