The Cat could very easily point out that he's been around the block enough that his experience with magical trinkets isn't exactly limited — especially when it comes to wearable trinkets, as Edwin should well know — but he gets a strange enjoyment out of Edwin's pragmatic fairness in this regard. And oh, this is so much easier, isn't it? This is better than moping or wondering about what ifs, maybes, all of that. Whatever happened to his unaffected hedonism, what about all the fun he's had when nothing means anything?
He decides not to think about it — as easily as that. He decides to focus on this, on enjoying this, on enjoying Edwin for this limited time he has him, like he vowed to do at the market. Fuck everything else, that's for him in the future to worry about. Him in the now is delicately dancing his claws over the hand Edwin has on his arm, a physical tease as well as the vocal one he's about to supply.
"Well, if you're as good as I think you are. The game relies on how good your questions are, right? And you've got a head start, since you've already been to the town and all. Though I don't think you've ever been exactly here."
He retracts his hand to hold it up and over his mouth, the pantomime of shock.

"Oops," A smile grows. "Call that a freebie."
