[Forward dated to Monday morning.]
....Wright.
[The video turns on and shows that the boy is standing in a hotel room. The lights are on, and... it looks like the room was in use until just recently. The camera - held in trembling hands - captures the sulking figures of three Pokémon sitting on the messily made bed.]
---Wright.... he's gone.
[[ooc; -- With permission from our dear Gumshoe-mun, who dropped (SOB), Miles will be taking care of Missile from now on... but Gummy also had two other characters and y'all should ask Officer so the poor babes can have homes. ;A; ]

[action; oh Otapyon, whyfor you give him iconable expressions.]
Date: 2010-12-14 12:52 pm (UTC)[At that, he chuckles.] Well, maybe. I was just doing what I thought was right, though. You were my best friend -- I couldn't just let you drop of the face of the earth without at least trying to find you.
[action; ...teach me how to sleep gdmit I hate this /facepalm ]
Date: 2010-12-14 12:56 pm (UTC)......Why would you go so far for someone like me.
[action; D: /pats.]
Date: 2010-12-14 12:58 pm (UTC)...didn't I just say it? [A smile.] You were my best friend.
You still are.
[action; I'm sleeping on you at the library D: ]
Date: 2010-12-14 01:03 pm (UTC).....But I left. [Phoenix's smile.. isn't making him feel any better. In fact, it makes him feel worse -- it would have been easier if the man was angry at him instead..] I left without a single word of explanation - I told myself I would never see you again - and you still.. you still..
[action; Yes, sir! ]
Date: 2010-12-14 01:13 pm (UTC)Yeah...you, uh, weren't too happy to see me when I did finally run into you again. [A sheepish quirk of a grin.]
...I guess I'm just stubborn.
[action ]
Date: 2010-12-14 01:17 pm (UTC)Stubborn might be an understatement. [He looks up again, looking like he'll start crying again -- which he usually does, but.. more so than the usual, now.]
[action]
Date: 2010-12-14 01:33 pm (UTC)oh also YAY I RESEVED AT SOUL CAMPAIGN now to look at this app and see what I've got to do...screw what I said last night I want in before the February cycle]
[OH SNAP, he did not mean to make Edgeworth cry again! He mentally flails a bit, the hand that was earlier resting on Edgeworth's shoulder creeping up again. Phoenix is not good with these situations, okay. It shows on his face.]
H-hey, it's alright. It was my choice, after all.
[action]
Date: 2010-12-14 01:43 pm (UTC)Also Luther Pendragon is the meanest man EVER. Worse than Manfred D: ]
[...Fortunately or unfortunately for you, Phoenix, Edgeworth isn't really watching you. He's only looking ahead at the wall across from him, trying to keep himself calm.]
[action]
Date: 2010-12-14 11:00 pm (UTC)...FFFFF. Really? That is. Horrible.]
[Well, there's an abrupt end to that conversation. He's giving Miles a worried look, hand still on the boy's shoulder.]
...will you be alright?
[action]
Date: 2010-12-15 02:25 am (UTC)[A beat.]
I have to be.
[action]
Date: 2010-12-15 02:39 am (UTC)...don't feel as if you have to go through this all by yourself.
[action]
Date: 2010-12-15 02:45 am (UTC)......But I have to be strong, for Missile.
[action]
Date: 2010-12-15 02:55 am (UTC)It's then that Phoenix notices the poor Smeargle. That's right, all of Gumshoe's Pokémon--]
...poor guys. [He holds out a hand to the dog, smiling encouragingly.]
[action]
Date: 2010-12-15 03:09 am (UTC)[Missile is currently snoozing with her head on Edgeworth's lap, so Phoenix doesn't get much of a response out of her.]
[action]
Date: 2010-12-18 01:43 am (UTC)[action]
Date: 2010-12-18 01:51 am (UTC)[action]
Date: 2010-12-18 01:58 am (UTC)[It strikes a bit too close to home for him, after all...]
[action]
Date: 2010-12-18 02:07 am (UTC)And boy, after that conversation with Vera, who knows what kind of stunt the kid would pull.]
[--The thought of said conversation makes him go quiet..]
[action]
Date: 2010-12-18 02:09 am (UTC)...you alright, Edgeworth?
[action]
Date: 2010-12-18 02:12 am (UTC)...I only want to protect the people that I care about, now. I don't want to see anybody disappear, or get hurt, ever again..
[...He's not trying to make too much sense. He's just speaking to himself as he mulls over Vera's words.]
[action]
Date: 2010-12-18 02:31 am (UTC)Sure, in his time, Edgeworth has just recently dropped out of his life like a bowling ball from an airplane. Really, he should be calling Edgeworth a hyprocrite for saying this -- and probably would, were he still bitter about it.
But...well, he HAD sorted things out with the older Edgeworh. Sort of.
And, besides, who's to say that Miles won't learn from this, too? How DID their Johto adventure affect their lives back at home?
But. Either way. All he says in reply is quiet, and thick with understanding;]
I know. [Oh, he knows too well.]
[action]
Date: 2010-12-18 02:44 am (UTC)[He doesn't pull away from Phoenix, even though he doesn't.. really acknowledge the hug, either. He just sits there, quiet. He felt guilty... he knew Phoenix was hiding things about his future still, but... so was he, now.]
....I'm sorry.
