[because hello Heather, he kind of works here. :D]

[Edgeworth has already heard about Heather's injuries. Not the gory details or the sobfest that went with it (obviously), but he was rather aware of how Phoenix had used up a lot of the first aid and kept going downstairs to visit the girl in the past few days. He's also noticed how quiet she's been, almost completely missing in action.]

[Today... this week, actually, Edgeworth's job has been to be threatened into wearing a Santa outfit with his baby Growlithe, handing out tiny bags of Pokémon food as a Christmas gift to anyone who visited -- and Heather's Totodile is no exception. He just lingers a bit when he hands the little blue thing the bag, pulling the tattered magazine away from him.]

Miss Heather.

[HI MILES.]

[It's no surprise that he knows about what happened-- Heather honestly wouldn't have expected any less, given that the kid was sharing a room with Phoenix. But in case he had any doubts, here she was in all her lobster-handed glory.]

Hey, Edgeworth.

[She offers up a smile.]

They got you dressing up and stuff, huh?

[Godzilla, meanwhile, SENSES THE PRESENCE OF EDIBLE THINGS. Scrambling into a sitting position, he makes grabbyhands for the bag, mouth open wide. When it's handed to him, it just... immediately goes into his mouth.]

[Distractedly, Heather reaches out to tug it back out again.]

[After Phoenix came home that night looking the way he did - grim, quiet, and brooding about something - Edgeworth hadn't pried. As it was, both of them needed to keep some secrets to themselves. Edgeworth himself had things he couldn't tell Phoenix, anyway. All he knew was that she was somehow injured.. though how or to what extent, he didn't want to make Phoenix feel gloomier than he already was by asking.

But confirming that she was healthy, minus the tired look and her bandaged hands, he grimaces at her comment, shrugging his shoulders and tugging on the fuzzy red jacket.]

It wasn't a good idea to ask Nurse Joy about dressing up Pip -- she wouldn't let me go home until I agreed to do this.

[action] foolishwren December 19 2010, 03:07:07 UTC

[Pfft... Heather rolls her eyes. She's not a huge fan of nurses.]

Sounds pretty dumb to me... even if he does look pretty cute.

But jeez. I don't remember anything in the rules about dressing up as Santa.

[Of course, she hadn't worked at a Center since Cherrygrove...]

[action] miniworth December 19 2010, 03:09:55 UTC

[If I can consider the pictures I've seen of my friend's Heather cosplay as proof, I can understand why.]

N-no.. there isn't. This is just her, badgering me about it. I couldn't really refuse.

[action] foolishwren December 19 2010, 03:50:17 UTC

[Well, it's mostly thanks to a certain Really Terrible Hospital Experience, but the resulting horrific monster nurses helped too.]

... man. Why don't you quit and find another job? There's plenty of places to work in this city.

[action] miniworth December 19 2010, 03:53:35 UTC

[Heather you are to be pitied.]

[fhdskjfh]

Well, I don't really mind this.. it's kept me distracted from.. things, and I like taking care of Pokémon.

[action] foolishwren December 19 2010, 04:19:08 UTC

Wellp, if you don't MIND being annoyed...

[SHE WASN'T ABOUT TO TELL THE KID WHAT TO DO]

So hey.

What do you want for Christmas?

[action] miniworth December 19 2010, 04:20:59 UTC

It's just kind of embarrassing. [Wait until you hear the cravat stories, kidworth.]

---Christmas?

I....-- you don't have to trouble yourself, Miss Heather, by getting me anything...

[action] foolishwren December 19 2010, 04:34:39 UTC

Dude, I work in the department store. It's an excuse to look for stuff on the job instead of dealing with my manager.

It's no trouble at all.

C'mon, whaddya want?

[action] miniworth December 19 2010, 04:36:21 UTC

I-I really don't have anything that I want... [Fidget.]

[All he wished for for his past Christmases have been for his dad to spend the day home instead of working because s-sob his dad's always busy.]

[action] foolishwren December 19 2010, 04:45:13 UTC

[You're a stubborn one, Mr. Edgeworth. Smirking, Heather leans forward a little.]

Okaaaaay, then what do you need?

[action] miniworth December 19 2010, 04:55:16 UTC

[That line of attack will also not work though, Heather.]

I... really don't... [ D: ;; ]

[action] foolishwren December 19 2010, 05:08:34 UTC

Well, I'm gonna get you something whether or not you give me a suggestion, so you might as well mention something if you've got anything on your mind.

[action] miniworth December 19 2010, 05:10:10 UTC

......

[....He really doesn't, and the way Heather says it is making him feel kind of bad about it.]

[action] foolishwren December 19 2010, 05:15:10 UTC

[AW C'MON MILES DON'T BE SO SENSITIVE.]

[When she figures that he's not gonna say anything, she shakes her head.]

Hey, it's all right.

I'll find something.
