... Hey Nick.
[The words are said gently, knowingly.
It did take Larry a while to realize what happened on this day, because he was always horrible with dates, but even he couldn't completely forget this day. He hadn't forgotten the caring Gregory Edgeworth, and all the times he had hung out at Miles's house with Phoenix. He could never forget when Miles suddenly disappeared from their lives and did not show up again for years. But for the Miles here, things were different.
He would be just as down as his friends but...someone had to stay in high spirits for them. Hell, Larry was probably not someone Phoenix or Miles wanted around right now given his nature, but he was going to talk to them anyway. Phoenix was the one he happened to run into first.]

His eyes widen with shock, though -- he had no idea Larry was even in the city yet.]
Wh--Larry?
[...and, well. In all honesty? He doesn't mind seeing you at all.
In fact, he's rather pleased. After all, Larry knew Gregory Edgeworth, too. So, Larry, here, have a sad -- but sincere -- smile.] Uh...h-hey.

He grins, jokingly adding,] In the flesh! Didn't think you could keep me away forever, didja?
[But he quickly sobers up after that, because today was supposed to be serious. He fixes his gaze toward the sky.]
Surprised Edgey's not around. Guess he had his own things to think about, huh? [He goes silent for a brief few seconds.] Been a long eighteen years... [Then he goes silent again. Man, had it really been eighteen years? He should be twenty-six by now.]

[Don't worry, he's joking. Mostly. And getting him to joke when he's in this mood is pretty remarkable, Larry! Nicely done.
He returns to his earlier solemn attitude rather quickly, though.] Yeah, he...he wasn't around when I woke up this morning. I guess he's just gone off by himself. I'll give him a call later.
Eighte-- [And he's about to correct Larry when...owait, timelines.] That's right, huh...it's only been sixteen for me. And just last year...
[Which is why he's reacting so heavily now.]

[He nods, listening along to the discussion of Miles and the day in particular. He puts two and two together.] Oh yeah, the case that solved it all. That was a ways back for me. [He still feels a little guilty for making things harder on Phoenix and Edgeworth back then, but he ended up helping a little, right? ... Right?]
Reply
He grins at Larry, though. As obstinate as you were, Phoenix hasn't forgotten that you managed to COMPLETELY TURN THE TRIAL AROUND, Larry.] I can't believe it took fifteen years. If I'm remembering right, you were actually able to save the day.
[...he's not being mean on purpose!!]
Reply
[Larry rubs the back of his neck, grinning sheepishly. He's not exactly proud of his performance back then, even if he did end up helping in the end. Same goes for every other time he was on the witness stand.] Yeah, by screwing up on everything else.
