007 [video]

[miniworth]

[Forward-dated to late Saturday morning, around 10:00 AM.]

[Good morning, Route! It's been a while since Edgeworth's last post to the network, and this time, too, it doesn't seem like he's the one making the actual post, because the kid's Pokémon seem to be more enthusiastic about the camera thing than he is.

Today, despite not having hands, Tadpole the Poliwag has figured out a way to use his trainer's Pokégear -- using his tail. Tadpole now is carrying the gear atop his head in what looks like a room in the Violet Pokémon Center. The camera keeps moving around and around at a dizzy pace because the creature is, well, pacing. Rather anxiously. On occasion, he would stop and cry up at his trainer, who is sitting on his bed, knees drawn up and a blanket tossed over his body.

Every once in a while, Edgeworth would cough or sneeze, then shiver and pull the blanket around himself tighter. Only a few people may realize why, but it seems the boy caught a... pretty bad cold while stalking Phoenix and Dahlia, but SHH THEY DON'T KNOW. Maybe.

The Poliwag continues to call out. ]


Waag!

---I'm all right, Tadpole, just keep it down, all right?

[With a tired, dreary sigh, Edgeworth raises his head and looks down at the camera. He's a real mess, though he does have a tiny shine of accomplishment in his eyes.]

It seems that my jacket wasn't sufficient enough in keeping me warm for the whole time, but...at least no harm came to him, right, Miss Iris? [And he gives a tired but rather triumphant smile. Phoenix apparently got through his rendezvous with Dahlia physically unharmed!]

Oh Miles...How ill are you? I wish I could be with you so I could make sure you're doing alright. Is Apollo doing his job and taking care of you?

Yes, that is a relief...but please, do be more careful next time Miles. I hate to see you sick.

[miniworth]

I'm all right. [And he says so while looking like he'll pass out any moment, but he's gotta wait for Pess.] Mr. Apollo's run off to do something, I think. I was fine until he left, then I got a bit feverish.

And-- well. I promised I'll keep him, safe, so. I keep my promises.

[usedsubstitute.livejournal.com]

Oh dear...I hope your fever isn't too high. You should be resting!

That's good of you. I admire that quality in you. I wish...I could do the same.

[Knock, knock! Guess who's here with some tea and cold medicine! And is feeling guilty :(]

Hey, Miles? Are you in there?

[action]

[miniworth]

[Tadpole makes a ruckus at the knocking, and Edgeworth sluggishly gets up off the bed, quieting him, before opening the door.]

Mr. Apollo. [He steps aside, so Apollo can walk into the room.]

[And at this time, guess who's just coming into Violet?

...and is giving Edgeworth's post a vaaaguely suspicious look -- no harm came to "him", and addressing this to Miss Iris? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put two and two together, Miles, but...after speaking with Iris herself, Phoenix is starting to put his own pieces of the puzzle together, and, really. The more important thing right now is that one of his best friends is sick as a dog.

So, after this colorful thought process works its way across his face, Phoenix's expression falls into a concerned frown.]

Hey, Edgeworth. Er...are you alright? _{I just got back...}

[video]

[miniworth]

[Now that he knew Phoenix wasn't alone with Dahlia and was unhurt he's not too concerned about keeping it a secret that he was following Phoenix - as long as Apollo isn't found out in the process, of course.

But seeing Phoenix with Dahlia doesn't make him feel very comfortable with actually interacting with the man anymore. But he nods and grimaces.]

I could be better, but I don't think it's too bad. [ i.e. "My head hurts and it's cold yet hot and I feel like I want to curl up in my jacket and cry because I feel so sick. And you suck, Phoenix."]

Have you seen Pess, by any chance?

[Said Growlithe is trotting around Phoenix is a circle, concerned with both Phoenix and Edgeworth.]

-- whoa, Miles, you look awful.

[video]

[miniworth]

Er-- [Cough.] Thank you, Miss Fey.

[It's a shame that Dahlia has no Cold Killer X on her.]

[Oh, and guess who is in Violet now~?]

Oh my...you poor thing. Is there anything I can get you to make you feel better, Miles?

[Video]

[miniworth]

[Oh man that would have been glorious. It's really surprising Phoenix still uses that stuff after the Dahlia case, too. 8I

And Edgeworth definitely knows you're here, Dahlia. And he'll be watching you!... when he's not sick.]

Thank you for your concern, Miss Hawthorne. [A smile.] But I think I'll be all right, for now. Mr. Apollo's brought me some medicine and tea.

[yattagarasu.livejournal.com]

Whoa, you look awful...

[miniworth]

[You and Mia and your COMPLIMENTS, Kay.]

....Thank you, Kay.

_{[Harm? Coming to 'him'? Heather doesn't know much about the situation apart from what Phoenix told her (which was NOT reassuring), but considering little Edgeworth is Phoenix's friend, she's got a hunch.]}

... you talking about your lawyer buddy by any chance?

_{[If so, she was relieved to hear it.]}

[Video]

[miniworth]

---Wright, yes. I'm with three lawyers, Miss Heather. Three.

He decided it would be smart to, uh, walk off with Miss Hawthorne last week, so I followed him and... got this cold.

[video]

[moepuzzle.livejournal.com]

Ah... are you okay, Miles!?

[video]

[miniworth]

I'm all right, Miss Flora. [He offers a reassuring smile.] It's just a cold, and I'm sure I'll be over it soon.

[video]

[bottletothehead.livejournal.com]

It's good to worry about others, but you should learn to take care of yourself as well, Miles. I don't know what you are referring to but whatever it might have been, please, make sure to dress up warm enough the next time.

[ Kristoph looks genuinely worried about the ill boy. ] I'm afraid you don't look too good. How are you feeling?

[video]

[miniworth]

I'll definitely be more careful next time. [He coughs a bit, looking rather sheepish.]

I'm feeling... well. Mr. Apollo brought me some medicine earlier, but I haven't been able to sleep. I'll get better, though, I'm sure.

[When Larry finally woke up, he pretty relieved to finally see a post from Miles on the network. Of course he would miss them actually returning to the Center though.

He still looks half-asleep when he responds.]

Hey, at least you made it back in one piece too.

[video]

[miniworth]

...This is true.

I'm sure this fever will go down soon, and then I'll be fine.

-- How was the festival? I think I missed it, so..

[video]

[remilution.livejournal.com]

Miles!

. . . You look rather ill.

[video]

[miniworth]

I've been better, but I've also had worse, Miss Remi. I'll be all right.

[He gives a small wave in greeting.]

[dragonspeak]

[His eyebrows shoot up]

You look terrible. Miles, what did I tell you about over doing things?

[Video]

[miniworth]

It-- I wasn't trying to overdue things, Merlin.

It was just much colder on the Route than I expected, and I didn't really sleep much.

[Err....]

I'll get better.
