Oswald's expression falters a little, not overtly displeased or scornful so much as cautious and careful.
"Hm. Yes. John Doe."
He lets the name hang there for a moment, like a slow pendulum as he twists the neck of his glass a few times thoughtfully.
"I'll leave this in your ever-capable hands. Though I admit I have a particular degree of hesitation when it comes to this friend of yours."
Oswald and John have only met once thus far. Partly it's just down to Oswald having more pressing matter, but partly the idea of being around someone claiming to know Eddie and Riddler so well--a unique kind of bond--discomforts Oswald in more ways than one.
