Ed waits a moment for the rest of the question, head tilting and eyes blinking in that owlish, curious way of his.

It takes another moment for it to sink in that Oswald isn't elaborating and probably isn't going to without prompting or assistance. Lightning fast, he runs different scenarios, different things he can assume, or ask, or that might be about to happen and he settles on what he thinks is a fairly low risk gamble.

"Yes."

Whatever it is. Ed knows Oswald, even if not this Oswald, and whatever he's going to ask? It's going to be a hard press to find something that Ed wouldn't gladly offer that Oswald might ask for.

"Yes, you may," he clarifies, so that it's perfectly clear.
