[Relief eased through the younger man's shoulders as Edward seemed to accept his answer. He could almost see the temptation chasing itself through that brilliant brain, but if Edward hadn't reacted well to Jason's early childhood meal times, he certainly wasn't going to be enthused with teenage rebellion lead blackmail.

Though, that wasn't really fair to him. He hadn't been the one doing the blackmailing.

His thoughts threatened to spiral, to drag him down into those old memories like an anchor...but the older man's obvious joy about gaming was a balm to his heart and it was almost easy to smile as he picked through a few more fries. His past held no edge against that level of joy about something and he was grateful.]

I have no idea what 'kick' is, so I'm glad you're on Twitch. What's your name? Maybe I'll have some time to look you up. Watch you while you play.

[He was smiling, but he wasn't teasing. He was being as honest as he knew how to be, actually. The idea of pulling up one of Edward's streams after he stopped being able to see the man in person was actually a little nice. Like maybe he wouldn't have to let go of the man completely.]

I do, but probably nothing you'd play. Lian has picked up Mario Kart and has taken to completely kicking my ass for a match or two before bedtime. My brother got me to play Hades and that was fun. Oh! Actually, I have played Bloodborne. That's a Souls-like game, right? I died. A lot. But I have played it. Umm...I watched Roy play Skyrim, does that count?

[His smirk made it clear that he knew it didn't count at all, but he couldn't quite help the tease.]
