Edward groaned a little at the look Jonathan was giving him, only willing to tone down his naturally flirtatious behavior for Jonathan. If it had been anyone else, well...game on.
He smiled at Lois anyway, despite Jonathan's warning looks, unable to help himself, "Ms. Lane, the pleasure is all mine." Edward was attached to Crane for a good many reasons, love probably being the least of them, as his mind could never really wrap around what it was like to love anyone but himself, he just found Jonathan more tolerable than most other people. They had a knack for connecting on levels deeper than most actual people who were capable of feeling love for each other. His ego, however, simply wouldn't allow it.
It was clear, however, what feelings he did have romantically for the other man were far greater on the spectrum of love than he had even for his own daughter. Enigma was number two, Jonathan way surpassed her to hold the number one spot in Edwards heart. If there was any such place at all.
