Are we...? [It takes a few second for the implications for that question to actually sink in. When it does, Ema shakes her head and sighs.] It's complicated. But no, we're not a couple.
[She shoots Edward a brief glance, hoping that he doesn't get bent out of shape by the answer. There's more that she can say--more that she wants to say, actually--but not here. Not in front of Bruce Wayne. Or anyone else, for that matter.
Luckily, Edward seems to want to talk about things just as much as she does. She's actually impressed at his restraint, since it does have the effect of making this interaction slightly less awkward for her. However, it's still too uncomfortable for her liking, so Ema decides to quickly extricate herself from the conversation.]
We do need to talk. Later. I'll give you a call when I'm off work and we'll find a time to meet. Until then, I have rounds to finish. I'll get those signatures later and let you two talk.
[She looks between the two men, giving each a slight nod of farewell before walking off.]
