Edward - Harbinger
"Master Tsu Yang, you have taught me humility in the Dojo enough to earn the affection," Edward said in response to his friend's plea. Though Zhou was not a master, he has undoubtedly taught Edward, that even with his ability to observe and predict a foe, such an advantage does not always result in a match being won. It was humbling and was a surprising impetus for having Edward grow fonder of his friend. And it was as close as he could get to teasing his friend.
This was said as Edward learned more than he perhaps should have, though the young woman seemed to have put up some mental barriers, Edward realized that he had done it again, but even as he thought this, he also took in...her. If the two were communicating then he would need to respect that. He had only met them, and being Meta is not an incrimination. So he did as he often did and filed it away for later.
"The more the merrier" Edward offered as Zhou invited them and Nellie expressed interest. "I am Edward," he offered as the newcomer joined them then turned to address the whole group, "Most of the crowds will be entering from the carnival side, though it may take a bit more walking, the entrance from Justice Hodgins Boulevard will avoid the bottlenecked rush and should get us into the Amphitheatre faster and closer to the stage." It flowed from him too quickly. He had already assessed the sizes of the crowds throughout the day, their position, and the entrances to Cascadia Park Amphitheatre likely crowds outside of the carnival, and that they should manage to get somewhere between the fifth and fifteenth rows unless they got very lucky or unlucky.
Trying to seem less awkward Edward took a bite out of his churros.
