I'm not asking Oswald to care, I'm asking if he would do the job. I don't know -- I mean, I don't know how to approach a guard and like, ask them to do something illegal for me.
[They're the criminals, can she just pay them.]
Could you do it instead? Or maybe do you know some other criminal that could look after her?
Well, you don't have to do it right now, but we could discuss it and plan it and then you can do it for me. You're the expert in this, babe! And I'm asking you!
[There's a pretty please tone in her voice.]
It's not a big deal for you and it would make me real happy and proud of my criminal boyfriend.
But Alfred saw her and he he left me wondering if she's getting hurt in there. I want her to be locked up and to go to trial, not to be abused in there. I don't want anyone to be abused in there.
[It's not a tought she has entertained for long. And it speaks volumes of her relationship with her mom, how she'd rather spy on her than just see her, at the moment.]
Even if I see her, she's not gonna tell me if something is wrong.
Kate, aren't you supposed to be training to be a semi detective? You should be perceptive enough to notice something like that even if she's lying to you about it.
You're very welcome. And while we are there I can test you to see which of the guards you think could be possible good informants for you. SHOULD you need one.

[Plus Oswald only ever does things to benefit himself and Ed can't see how this would aid him in any way.]
So no.
If you want tabs kept on your mother you find a guard that seems corrupt and you offer him cash to do so.

Date: 2025-01-17 12:02 am (UTC)Kate, I love you but I'm not about to drop everything on my plate to go do something as simple as bribe a prison guard.
Trust me, it's NOT hard.

It's your mother and your plan so if you really want to do this then you're going to have to get your hands dirty.

Date: 2025-01-17 12:18 am (UTC)[And honestly, she sounds a little hurt.]
Things are tough and it would really help if you were with me.

She's still my mom and I still love her, Ed. Please.

Date: 2025-01-17 07:28 am (UTC)So why not just go visit her and see for yourself?

And I don't wanna do it alone.

[See? He can be supportive.]
ooc: I'm so busy/tired I forgot it was a call and not text! *facepalms* Please ignore the format lol
Date: 2025-01-17 10:05 pm (UTC)[Her tone has changed immediatly, sounding so much more excited and relieved to hear Ed is finally aggreing to help her out.]
Could you give me hints on how you deduce that? You know, so that if I ever need to do something like this again, I can try and figure it on my own.
ooc: no worries <333
