[There is a long pause before Javert manages a response. Though he has long since adjusted to the use of such a technologically advanced device, he was still rather slow and woefully clumsy in executing its functions. His huge, rough hands were quite the obstacle in navigating small phones.]

Excuse me, M. Edgeworth: Allow me an audience with you. The written report does well for what came of Mlle. Hunter's testimony. I will speak of details in person.

It is quicker.

ACTION

[At the sound of Edgeworth's entrance, Javert immediately rose to his feet and granted his superior a respectful bow. He did not intend to sit behind the desk for the remainder of this meeting. It was unsuitable. Instead he straightened and stood near the single, dim window.]

M. Edgeworth, you seek the particulars. I will give them to you.

[Here he begins with a slight correction on Edgeworth's prior assumption.]

Mam'selle Hunter has claimed a deficiency of the memory in her report but I don't trust that as far as I can throw her. She has no reason to protect her attacker. It is some ill-begot pride or a notion of fear that keeps her from speaking. That is assuming her head is intact.

[The way he said the word, pride, indicated some sort of derision in the construct as applied to females.]

She is far too proud a woman. I see no fear in her.

*Unlike the others, Gale might have been noticeably absent for quite a while. Including the investigation of the ghost girl's death.*

Javert. I know that I have been absent from most of these events. My reason is complicated.

My Leader, Serph--has disappeared from Somarium.

[The beginnings of a sharp-tongued temper were palpable even through carefully-constructed, blunt, factual text.]

That cannot be correct.

I did not discover a handwritten note in the post this morning. It cannot be that it has slipped your mind to report all incidences of that nature.

You do not understand. This is not an event orchestrated by another entity.

Sometimes...people simply vanish from this world entirely. We assume they return home.

As for why...

It is best if I explain exactly what a Leader means, to our Tribe.

I told you to report incidences. You did not. I say you must tell me the situation in proper detail. You do not.

[There is a very palpable pause.]

You will be wasting your time. I do not care to listen.
