That was a positive reaction to his riddle, Ed supposed. Kind of. he finally flinched a little at that almost bite, staring at Oswald and Sea and trying to think again. "Chimpanzees can be quite dangerous, you are right about that."

And his best friend was about to get very hurt. What did he do?

"Are you threatening me? You want to be a snitch?" Sea seemed entertained rather than angry. Perhaps a more dangerous thing. "Boss, we got ourselves a snitch."

Edward had to think of something quickly. "Why don't we play a game! For Oswald's safety. Please. Sir." Whatever, he'd just stick with it. Seemed to be working. "I'm sure you'll win."
