The look Edward gives Izzy in return is one that, in a way, sourly and perhaps a touch mockingly asks Izzy 'Like that worked for you?'- because he wonders, idly, if that isn't unlike Izzy’s behavior with Edward some twenty years ago.

"Not a terrible angle, but leaves too much to risk." he replies finally. Either way, this Mr. Pleasant should be questioned, but even that will meed to be handled delicately. If he has a greater plan, he's not going to just tell a stranger.

"Right." Ed says, clearing his throat. "We have some loose ends to tie before we can formulate a proper plan. For now, information is key. And Izzy?" he asks, giving his pet a threatening look, "Get your dogs in fucking line. If I have to tell one more of them to heel, it'll be you that has to answer for it."
