Oscar continued on with his walk around the town center, stopping and talking to people about his campaign as mayor. Most people were quite intrigued with him while others just thought that it was wrong that he was campaigning so early after the death of the previous mayor. He shrugged his shoulders and continued on his stroll until his friend, Adelaide, for nearly twenty years was coming towards him now.
A smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he couldn't help himself and walked towards Adelaide, meeting her halfway and now face to face with her. Oscar eyed her as she spoke first. "Morning, Adelaide." He said as he chuckled slightly at her question and comment. "Why, yes I am. Or trying to anyway." Oscar said as he continued to look at her.
"Impressed, eh? Does that mean I have your vote?" He joked towards Adelaide as he tapped his chin with his index finger. "So, any new details about Clarke's death? By the way, shouldn't you be in your office investigating?" Oscar questioned towards her as his eyes met hers right about now.
With a smile Adelaide nodded, "Of course you have my vote Oscar," She says as though he should've already known that, "I couldn't think of a better Mayor for Bellingstone, in this time of crisis."
Mulling over how much, or rather, how little information she could actually share with her good friend, Adelaide sighs, "I got the coroners report in today, but nothing unusual." Attempting to keep it vague, and yet still be able to tell her friend something, Adelaide's hand reaches up to her hair, smoothing out any wisps that may have gotten loose from her bun as she listens to Oscar continue.
"That's exactly what I've been doing this morning," Adelaide replies to Oscar's question about why she wasn't in the office. "I needed a breath of fresh air, and I figured it could be helpful to ask around town about any suspicious activity lately," There is a small pause before Adelaide continues, "So, I don't suppose you've seen anything out of the ordinary as of late?"
Oscar smiled whenever Adelaide mentioned that he had her vote. Of course, he shook his head at her words then eyed her after her comment. "Yeah. It kind of sucks though, as well. Many people loved the previous mayor. Am I wrong for campaigning so early?" Oscar muttered as he knew that Adelaide would tell him nothing but the truth.
His eyes widened whenever he heard her say that the coroners report came in earlier that day but there was nothing unusual. "Hm." Oscar hummed to himself as he looked at Adelaide once again, listening to her as she continued to speak.
"Ah, makes sense now. No need to be cooped up in an office all day." He chuckled then proceeded to walk a little bit, wanting Adelaide to follow right behind him so that she can hear his answer to her question. "Uhm, no, actually. I was closing up the Bar and Grill whenever I heard the news. I haven't seen anything either." Oscar said. "Sorry, Addie." A little nickname he had given her so long ago.
"How about dinner later? Surely you'll be too tired from working all day to cook for yourself. Let me whip something up for you." Oscar offered towards Adelaide as he stopped in his tracks, turning heel to face her now with a slight smile curving among his lips. "What do you say?"
Adelaide shakes her head in response to Oscar, "No, no, I think it's good that you're doing this - it'll give the townspeople some hope that things will get better." Sending him an encouraging smile, her painted red lips parting ever so slightly. Squeezing Oscar's arm ever so slightly, Adelaide hopes to convey her full support.
Following Oscar as he wanders a little, Adelaide is silent as she listens to him talking. "Don't apologize Ozzy," She says with a small chuckle, as he had called her his old nickname for her, Adelaide couldn't help but slip the nickname she had invented for him almost 20 years ago. "I should probably make my round about town and see who else I can bump into."
Tilting her head as Oscar offers to take her out for dinner, Adelaide's smile brightens and she nods, "I'd love that," stifling a yawn, she continues, "I am a little exhausted." Taking his hand in hers, she squeezes it softly as she says, "Now get back to campaigning Oz, you've already won me over." Walking ahead of Oscar a little, she looks back at him, "Text me later, dinner at seven?"
If what Oscar was doing was so good, why did he feel so bad about campaigning for mayor already? His feelings were complicated right about now but seeing Adelaide's smile made him follow suit with his own variation of a smile as Oscar knew that he had her full support. A soft chuckle escaped over his lips as Adelaide called him by the nickname she invented for him. It was nice to see Adelaide again, considering she was a bit busy with the investigation and probably more things. Oscar, himself, was busy campaigning and more importantly, running Bellingstone's Escape alongside with Andre.
His eyes peered over towards her now as she accepted his offer for dinner then saw her yawn. Oscar did not really say much as he did not know what to say at this point but nodded his head instead. As Adelaide started to walk ahead of him then looked back, his lips parted for him to speak.
"Thanks again, Adelaide. Bellingstone is more than lucky to have a Sheriff like you patrolling the area. And thanks for your support, as well." He said while smiling towards her again and nodded his head, yet again. "Of course. I'll text you." Oscar winked towards her and watched her as she continued to walk ahead of him. Letting out a sigh, he looked around before continuing his own walk and went back to campaigning or trying to, at least.
