( Of course he hasn't thought this through. What could he possibly be busy with? Eddie isn't a bad liar, exactly, but he certainly doesn't do his best work in the moment. He needs time to chew through an idea, come up with something believable, sell the story.
On the fly, Eddie just kind of gapes blankly in silence. Really selling the story, clearly. )
Busy, uh– ( He's honestly racking his mind for anything and coming up completely empty. ) um, with...things.
( Things. Really.
His face heats up, but he keeps stubbornly looking forward anyway. Keeps talking like he isn't red with embarrassment, like they're just having a normal chat about normal things. He wants to talk to Llewellyn about what's been going done, of course he does, but the words are just...not there yet. )
Oh! Are you learning how to be a cool future cop? You should watch this movie, it's about a guy solving his friend's murder and there's all sorts of police-y things in it. I'm gonna see if I can find it, we're gonna watch it.
