“ Like death. Or lust, or . .
other things of inappropriate
nature, unruly for the court- ”

He wonders what Phoenix is
thinking, sometimes. But — it
is a mystery he doesn’t really
mind that much.

“ Do you need help tidying,
by chance? I’ve been told I
am excellent with it- ”

Alright man.

⠀
“ Me and Maya Fey at the
‘besties’ level status—? It’s
a bit preposterous, but.. ”

He’s trying to avoid choking
up about this, as silly as that
seems for him. He clears out
his throat quietly.

“ She is - do we not have a
generation gap between us? ”
⠀

⠀
Edgeworth huffs, the tips of
his ears becoming pink with
fluster, and eyes averted as
he grasps his sleeve quietly.

“ It’s - It’s the daily news, of
course. Don’t you also like ..
keeping up to date, with the
uh- daily news? ”

He shakes his head.

“ N- Nothing bad, I promise. ”

⠀
Wright. I can make it by that
time, were you planning on..
anything else while waiting?
In the meantime? ”

A bit curious, really.
⠀

⠀
“ Really, Wright? That would
be ridiculous. . . Nobody has
weird supernatural powers of
that kind. It would be rather ..
overstimulating, I believe. ”

Too many thoughts, all at the

label, like best friends, or
whatever you would call it. ”

Ahem. He’s going to change
the subject now!

“ After everything we have
gone through it would be a
surprise if she thought us a
tad more than acquainted. ”

That’s not-
⠀

⠀
Edgeworth can vaguely
sense a pair of eyes on
him — what? Who.. who
was that? OH! Hello, he
is quick to try to click on
something else, or turn
off the screen entirely.

“ W- Wright?! We need
to put a bell on you, oh
my goodness! ” 🌀

⠀

it; as in, we may have lightly..
touched on it after I had then
bailed her out of jail. Lightly.
For a . . while. ”

He’s even more embarrassed
to admit that this went on for
months and months-
⠀

⠀
He says whispering, ears red
with each added nerve. Ah. 💧

“ I- I. . That’s all. ” It’s not.

mei.★ but ummm interaction call soon

⠀
dredge up. He takes out his
phone to pretend to order a
pizza before he continues.

“ Thank you. I haven’t - . . .
really had a friend like that in
a long while. And I didn’t um
know you considered us that
way, Wright. ”

That’s embarassing to him.
