In general, the Defending Attorneys (And Assistants) room was being much quieter than the Prosecuting Attorneys (And Assistants) room.
Phoenix just wished he could close his eyes to what was going on in the corner ten feet away.
"Kitten," Godot (or perhaps he should call him Diego Armando) breathed into Mia's ear, "have you any idea how much I've missed you? How much I've needed you?"
Mia giggled. (A noise that should not come from Phoenix's respected, admired, honoured mentor, whatever the circumstances.)
"It's so romantic," Maya sighed.
"He should be with the prosecutors," Phoenix complained.
"But he was a defending attorney first," Maya pointed out. "And they both look so happy -- ooh! Don't look, Pearl!"
"Why not?" Pearl asked, bright scarlet at the very thought. "And isn't that what you and Mystic Maya should be --"
"No," said Phoenix hastily. "Absolutely not."
"They're being rather noisy next door," Trucy said. "Do you think someone should go and tell them to keep it down?"
Phoenix and Apollo Justice looked at each other.
"No," Phoenix said. "Absolutely not."
"We should be interviewing the witnesses instead," Apollo said. "And the accused. And gathering evidence. While they're busy in there."
"Especially while they're busy in there," Phoenix agreed. Odd. The noise from next door had stopped.
The door slammed open. Manfred von Karma stood there, sizzling taser still smoking in his hand. "I have been unanimously elected head of the prosecuting team," he said, "by sole conscious vote. Who is the head of the defending team?"
"Phoenix," Apollo said quickly.
"Mia," Phoenix said, almost as fast.
"Phoenix," Mia said. When Godot tried to say something, she waved him silent. "He's the only one here who's beaten von Karma before. Oh dear, did I say something about von Karma being defeated?"
Von Karma glared at her, then refocused on Phoenix. "Your pitiful divagations will not go unchallenged this time. We have positive evidence -- a letter written by the victim himself!"
"Before or after his death?" Phoenix asked. "I mean, it seems kind of vague, round here . . ."
"You will find out in court," von Karma sneered. "For the moment, you need only know that the accused is Hitsugaya Toushirou of the Tenth Division."
He swept out, slamming the door behind him.
He swept back in again. "And any attempt to gain information from our investigators and forensic scientists will be treated with the contempt that it deserves."
He swept out again.
"Kitten," Godot said, bending Mia into a waist-level dip-and-smooch, "I feel the call of the prosecutor's bench. Can you forgive me?"
"Only if you do your job," Mia sighed, after she'd got her breath back.
Godot saluted Phoenix with his mug of coffee (Phoenix still couldn't work out where he'd got hold of coffee here) and drifted out after von Karma.
"Right," Mia said briskly. "Crime scene, witnesses, accused, go go go!"
"I thought you said I was in charge," Phoenix protested.
"No," Mia said patiently. "I said you were the head of the defending team."
"Oh," Phoenix said, and scratched his head. "You know, I think there's a contradiction there somewhere . . ."
But Maya and Pearl were already dragging him out in search of evidence.
