006 [video/text]

[miniworth]

[The feed opens to show a very hyper, very happy Growlithe grinning at the camera, and then she looks up and spins in a circle, trotting off-screen before the camera turns and shows Miles Edgeworth with a Poliwag jumping up and down next to him. Pess and Tadpole are back in action, guys! Littleworth, although he wasn't grinning like a retard or dogpiling with his Pokémon like some others, is almost radiating happiness and relief and--

-- what is that sad, lost smile on his face?

He's definitely trying to shrug off whatever's eating him, though, and he picks up Pess, showing her off to the camera.]

She and Tadpole are back to normal, everyone-- I hope your Pokémon are, too.

[There's a small pause as he gives the camera a contemplative frown, as if he's debating something, and then--]

Miss Hawthorne, you're probably still confused by everything, but things are back to 'normal' now, at least for now. Please be careful on your journey, though. [He's genuinely concerned about Dahlia, really, but he's not sure how to approach anyone in this world anymore.

Pess squirms around and jumps out of Edgeworth's hold, onto his lap. But the boy barely acknowledges her as he still stares at his Gear, a frown on his face.

A few, long seconds of silence later, he reaches over. And the feed cuts off.]

Larry, there's something I need to talk to you about.

[Oh him and his 8|. Phoenix just sighs--somewhat affectionately?--in response.

And, well, upon arriving in the city, complete with a fat Mareep waddling next to him and his two other walking-capable Pokemon frolicking behind him, Phoenix...has a feeling he knew where Edgeworth wandered off to, and looks around for the kid with a ":T" expression. He shouldn't be outside when it's so cold!

Upon spotting the kid, he slowly makes his way over to him (slowly because, again, his fat sheep.), hands in his pockets and...a bit of an awkward air about him. They hadn't exactly parted on the best terms the other day, after all.]

...hey, Edgeworth. _{You really shouldn't be wandering around by yourself.}

[Edgeworth actually looks quite warm, bundled up in that huge jacket of his. He's just sitting on the ground by a tree, his face resting in his hand as he stares off into space.

Upon Phoenix arriving, he looks up and gives a wave.]

I haven't wandered off too far. And I knew you would be coming back soon, anyway.

[He still has his disapproving face. >:T ]

Still. [Hyprocritial of you, huh, Phoenix, after wandering out onto Route 32 without a word?]

...so, er...how are things? [Awkward neck rub is go.] Nothing too exciting happen while I was gone?

[action!]

[miniworth]

Don't give me that look. I'm not the only one who's walked off. Everyone else is up to their own business, as well.

[A pause.]

I talked to Larry.

...I'm not a ten-year-old kid. [And here, he quirks a bit of a grin.

Only to have it replaced by a bit of a forlorn one, glancing away and shoving his hands deeper into his pockets.] Larry, huh.

...what'd he tell you?

[action!]

[miniworth]

I'm not the one who could be put in potentially great danger when alone. Mr. Gavin is already in Violet, and Mr. Apollo didn't make it sound like that person is just trying to play a prank on you.

[Edgeworth falters at Phoenix's expression. It reminded him so much of that time when Phoenix was accused of stealing the lunch money. Seeing such a sad look on his friend's face, Edgeworth was convinced that Dahlia really was lying. Phoenix wouldn't - couldn't - hurt anyone. Ever.]

He told me I could trust you.
