Taking a deep breath and sighing, she simply says “Yeah.”

She rubs her temples, “He’s like the dumb little brother I never had. Which is ironic considering that he’s older than me.”

Brow raises, eyes roll, and the wheels in the devil's head begin to turn, causing him to pause. What the woman had just said was ridiculous, but he doesn't  vocalize his skepticism. If the Riddler and her are close she might know where he is, but how does he get her to tell..?

@the-arkham-librarian​​ asked: "I am so sorry about Edward, he can be......well....."

❝ A sleazebag? ❞ The devil puts it as politely as he could care to at the moment, fingertips gliding across the names on a line of files in search of a particular one. ❝  I've dealt with worse ❞ 

And yet he still fell right into playing one of The Riddler’s stupid little game, it won't happen again, next time he’ll will keep his cool.  ❝ Where do you get off apologizing for this guy anyway? ❞

Reminder that Matt accepts no shit talking about Karen.

Well, alright, on one hand he's not picking up any deception in the other's voice, on the other the guy did just appear in his house like the goddamn boogeyman. So this could go either way, though his gut is telling him to hear the creep out. Proceeds with caution across the room to the coffee machine, making himself a glass, gets the feeling he's going to need the extra energy.

❝ Oh, you know! I figured that I could drop on in! Maybe see if you could help me with a few things. Maybe even talk over dinner - I do hear the pizza place down the road is to DIE for. ❞

Well at least he still has a sense of humor, almost there mine some of the old Peter,  almost, there is a distinct, dark inflection to his voice now. He puts the distance of his desk in between him and the spider before continuing.
