Oh, sure! Eduard just sits there like a bump on a pickle for the past two weeks, and when he finally does speak, it's to say something like that! Sheesh!
Also, I would like to point out that this story will definitely be the longest yet: it began two months ago today and still has at least another week to go. There may be an "epilogue" week after that, though, depending on how much crashing about I can make the characters do between now and then....
