"Oohh, so it's a waiting game, is it? You do know him best, hmmm..." he continues to listen with an uncommon look of pointed concentration and lucidity. Secrets, eh? Something to use there, maybe...
"What if... you had a secret, too? A big one? Just thinkin' out loud here... but you think maybe he'd crack quicker if you had something on the down low, too?" his fingers strum along the angular line of this chin; it's just a thought, while he has met Oswald, the guy's not easy to get a read on. He seemed... emotional, fidgety, like he was trying to play cool but flipping his burgers inside. Unpredictable. John respects that; he's just not sure what to do with it yet. Maybe if he could just try and push the guy off a roof or something...
Riddler's expression in response to the drink only earns him and extremely eager and overtly proud smile in response; the glee in his grin shuts his eyes and he flashes a friendly and affirmative thumbs up.
"Eventually he's gonna realize that's not true; you don't gotta do anything about that for it to change at some point... but who likes the boring ol' senic route, anyway?" his buddies are upset here, as much as Oswald is probably ( hopefully ) smart enough to figure that much out, John doesn't exactly wanna loaf around waiting for that to happen, either.
