My ears are ringing, too...

The irony is overwhelming. A mere two weeks after I made my post about spring, my allergy medication has utterly and completely stopped working. I've been given a new type of medication but it makes me drowsy and doesn't seem to be helping at allI went to make a progress report on my latest research project to the Chief Prosecutor, who took one

Edgeworth... are you sure you're not coming down with something?

[miles_distant]

What? Don't be ridiculous, I don't get sick.

[wrightswrongs]

You "don't get" sick? What, is there something in your privileged bloodstream that prevents colds and flu?

[miles_distant]

I just don't. I haven't since I was a child.

[science_duh]

Oh, that's awful Mr. Edgeworth! I'm sorry you aren't feeling well...

Though, maybe Mr. Wright is, well... right. Are you positive you aren't coming down with something a bit more serious than just bad allergies?

[miles_distant]

Yes, of course, Ema. This is the time of year I usually get allergies, and I'm just not used to the allergens around here anymore - so my body is reacting more strongly. That's why it's being so harsh this time around.

[science_duh]

That... doesn't make much sense sir, speaking from a scientific standpoint. Well, I suppose it does kind of, I guess, but... really, it probably is for the best that you take a bit of time off while you're having such bad reactions!

If you don't, there's no denying that they could take a turn for the worst.

[miles_distant]

I'll take it easy. Thank you for your concern.

[fragrant_coffee]

Mr. Edgeworth. Can you do something for me?

[miles_distant]

Hm? I would be remiss if I didn't consider a request from you, given that you came to my aid.

[fragrant_coffee]

Are you sitting down?

[miles_distant]

Yes, of course.

[miles_distant]

Oh?

[miles_distant]

The man seems to think I can't do my job because of something as silly as allergies, which I've had all my life and it's really quite ridiculous. In fact I was looking up to see if it would merit a suit under the Americans with Disabilities act but apparently it doesn't. Not that I would have.

You may certainly trust me, little brother; if I can decipher your notes, that is.

Really, your handwriting has not looked this dreadful since you were a child. Go home and rest, or I will have to demand outside intervention.

[miles_distant]

I'm sorry, if you have any questions feel free to ask. And I'm not sure whose intervention you feel I need. I'm an adult and quite free to make my own choices.

[wild_mare]

Be that as it may, you cannot always be counted on to make the correct choice... which would be to avoid causing yourself drastic harm.

And I think you should be aware that I have checked with maintenance, and that there is nothing wrong with the heating system anywhere in the building.

[miles_distant]

Apparently not. I'm told I have the flu. I'll be out of the office for longer than I'd like.
