Second Turnabout

[gotyoucornered]

Do you think everyone is alright?

[ This was supposed to be private to Gumshoe but Phoenix and his fail!skill at computers made it public. ]

I do.

... Are you alright, sir?

[gotyoucornered]

Ah-! [ Guess I didn't set this thing to private after all.. ]

Yeah, I'm just..thinking about my friends at home.

[ She may be a stranger, but I guess it doesn't matter.. ]

[ Frown frown frown. Lenalee knows that feeling all too well, and understands it more then most. Even though she understands it... it's still hard to reassure people. That's why there is a short pause, before she chooses to speak again. ]

If it helps you at all, I think the corruption in the time machine makes a sort of... pause in time.

I mean, when we get this fixed, you could be sent to the same time and place you were taken from. In other words, time may not be passing back at your home, and if we do manage to fix this correctly, you can go back home without missing anything.

[ Another short pause. ]... I'm sorry all this happened.

[gotyoucornered]

Then if there's a pause in time and it doesn't get fixed..there's a whole world of people who aren't getting to live. And I still can't help but feel worried.

It's alright. I'm not blaming at you all.

[friendsareall]

I understand how you must feel. [ She doesn't blame him either, for thinking this way. Lenalee can't tell him to trust the Order, or trust her brother, or trust in what they're doing to fix this little mess. She can only attempt at reassurance, because that's all she has to give. ]

Please don't underestimate the Science Division. We've created many miracles before, and this will just have to be another one of them. Believe me, when my brother sets his mind to something, he gets it done.

We'll... fix all this. I can guarantee it.

[gotyoucornered]

Alright...

I trust you.

[friendsareall]

[ And Lenalee gets covered in a happy smile. She's not really sure if he means it, since they did just meet, but it also seems kind of silly for him to say that and not mean it. ]

... I'm happy.

My name is Lenalee.

[gotyoucornered]

It's nice to meet you. I'm Phoenix Wright, ace attorney!

[friendsareall]

An attorney? Sounds exciting.

[gotyoucornered]

Believe me, it is..in more ways than one.
