She nodded, crossing her arms in front of her so she could carrythe trunk in both hands. It really wasn't much. Mostly just clothes so that she would have things to wear before she was able to get more herself. Sadly, Matilda hadn't been able to bring back any of the books she wanted, since they were all property of the Academy. She imagined her reading time would be taking a definite drop. She was sure the Victoria had its fair share of books, but it was finite, and with all the traveling it did, she probably wouldn't be able to rent some from anywhere.

"Yes, sir." She fell in step beside him, for the most part she was looking at the Victoria--it was every bit as awing as it was in the pictures, more so, even; however, every now and then she would steal a glance at her new escort.

Edgeworth was a good man, she was certain of it. But she still didn't know what he would be to her, exactly. With this sudden change in her life, she had no idea what to expect and what it would mean for her. Would Edgeworth care for her if she did not like what was to happen, or would he follow his duty? The latter was in all technicality the right thing to do, so she could not hold it against him, but...

"Mr, Edgeworth?" she ventured a little uncertainly, "What is it...that I'm here for, exactly?" She knew what they had told her, and a little of what she concluded, but she wanted to know for sure.
