[ Eddie does want to lean in, does want to let his arm touch Steve, to brush his fingers over the skin on the back of his neck, but he doesn't dare. It's crossing a line that he can't put into words, and he sinks back into himself. He's too used to the rejection to dare cross that line here, in front of all of their kids.
Their kids, as if they're really parents. It's almost a joke.
Really good, Steve says, and Eddie swallows for a moment before he laughs. ]
Alright, alright. I'll keep it in mind and if you play your character right, well. I'm sure we can figure something out.
If I play him right? I thought the point was I can do whatever I want. ( he looks dubious for a moment, crosses his arms and raises one eyebrow as he regards eddie.
he leans forward then, pokes him in the side.
he's kind of forgotten about the kids, which, oops. )
You can, but you still have to impress my NPCs. You gotta be just the right amount of charming, big boy. [ He's grinning, as if he's come out of this conversation with some kind of victory, and he's about to say so when there's a finger poking him and he squawks like a bird.
Cue him lifting a hand to his mouth and glaring at Steve.
Then, mumbled through his fingers, ] Low blow, Harrington.
