2nd Accusation

[missingedge]

I've recently realized that I've lost my sense of smell since I came here. I've read that these things are temporary. However, it's only slightly debilitating. I've been surprised by how little I rely on it. It almost seems a accessory of the past.

The apartment is small, but tolerable. And no, Wright, I will not ride the rent.

You lost smell? Way to get off easy, Edgeworth. I lost taste. You're going to have to tell me if the milk spoils, or something, because I won't notice.

And why not?

[missingedge]

You would, but it would take awhile. And be more unpleasant.

Because this place has set currency. Both you and I are now equally poor.

[forthedefense]

You do know you're the one who will have to nurse me back to health if I get sick, don't you?

This is possibly the most exciting day of my life. Miles Edgeworth is my financial equal! Oh happy day!

[missingedge]

Unfortunately, yes.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?

{ Sorry, my replies will be abit spotty }

[forthedefense]

I'm sure it wouldn't be that bad. You could even get a new frilly outfit for the occasion.

Hmm, just maybe.

[missingedge]

My outfits are not frilly.

I didn't know you had developed such a subtle sense of humor.

[forthedefense]

It's sad to see a grown man in so much denial.

Oh, I've always had it, but only those privileged enough to room with me get to experience it.

[missingedge]

I feel bad for all of the teenaged girls that seem to roam your office.

{ Ok, I deserve a smacking for that now. Sorry >< }

[forthedefense]

There are two teenaged girls, thank you very much, and one eight year old who has lived in Kurain village all her life.

[ All things in their time! ]

[missingedge]

There's another one now?

[forthedefense]

Well, I sort of got her mother arrested, so I didn't really have a choice. She's pretty useful, though. She can already channel and everything. Though it's a...a little bit disturbing when she channels Mia.

[missingedge]

Mia... *remembers*

I would imagine it would be.

[forthedefense]

Yes, well... *Coughes* Now back to the matter at hand which was...teenaged girls in my office.

[missingedge]

I still don't understand why they seem to congregate there.

[forthedefense]

It's very simple. Maya feels loyalty towards me because I got her off the hook back when Mia died, and again when Dr. Grey was killed. Ema thought I was the best person to get Lana off the hook for Goodman's murder. Get it?

If you're thinking of any other...less acceptable reasons, you can stop thinking them right now. I'm not sure if you knew this, but Ema was quite fascinated with your...couch hair, I believe.

[missingedge]

Excuse me?
