[Forward-dated to late Saturday morning, around 10:00 AM.]

[Good morning, Route! It's been a while since Edgeworth's last post to the network, and this time, too, it doesn't seem like he's the one making the actual post, because the kid's Pokémon seem to be more enthusiastic about the camera thing than he is.

Today, despite not having hands, Tadpole

Oh Miles...How ill are you? I wish I could be with you so I could make sure you're doing alright. Is Apollo doing his job and taking care of you?

Yes, that is a relief...but please, do be more careful next time Miles. I hate to see you sick.

[video]

[miniworth]

I'm all right. [And he says so while looking like he'll pass out any moment, but he's gotta wait for Pess.] Mr. Apollo's run off to do something, I think. I was fine until he left, then I got a bit feverish.

And-- well. I promised I'll keep him, safe, so. I keep my promises.

[video]

[usedsubstitute]

Oh dear...I hope your fever isn't too high. You should be resting!

That's good of you. I admire that quality in you. I wish...I could do the same.

[video]

[miniworth]

....Well, I haven't checked, but Tadpole didn't like me touching him because I was too warm. I've still got to make sure Pess gets back safely, so.

[And he just shakes his head at the promise comment, not saying anything.]

[Knock, knock! Guess who's here with some tea and cold medicine! And is feeling guilty :(]

Hey, Miles? Are you in there?

[action]

[miniworth]

[Tadpole makes a ruckus at the knocking, and Edgeworth sluggishly gets up off the bed, quieting him, before opening the door.]

Mr. Apollo. [He steps aside, so Apollo can walk into the room.]

[action]

[justicepuns]

[He walks in, but he's mostly interested in seeing how Miles is feeling. He looks pretty sick.]

I brought tea and cold medicine. Have you gotten any sleep?

[action]

[miniworth]

I dozed off a while ago, but I couldn't stay asleep. Tadpole turned the Gear on earlier, so I just told Miss Iris that Wright was safe.

[And at this time, guess who's just coming into Violet?

...and is giving Edgeworth's post a vaaaguely suspicious look -- no harm came to "him", and addressing this to Miss Iris? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put two and two together, Miles, but...after speaking with Iris herself, Phoenix is starting to put his own pieces of the puzzle together, and, really. The more important thing right now is that one of his best friends is sick as a dog.

So, after this colorful thought process works its way across his face, Phoenix's expression falls into a concerned frown.]

Hey, Edgeworth. Er...are you alright? I just got back...

[video]

[miniworth]

[Now that he knew Phoenix wasn't alone with Dahlia and was unhurt he's not too concerned about keeping it a secret that he was following Phoenix - as long as Apollo isn't found out in the process, of course.

But seeing Phoenix with Dahlia doesn't make him feel very comfortable with actually interacting with the man anymore. But he nods and grimaces.]

I could be better, but I don't think it's too bad. [ i.e. "My head hurts and it's cold yet hot and I feel like I want to curl up in my jacket and cry because I feel so sick. And you suck, Phoenix."]

Have you seen Pess, by any chance?

[Said Growlithe is trotting around Phoenix is a circle, concerned with both Phoenix and Edgeworth.]

[video]

[cheapblusuits]

[Hey, Phoenix didn't ask for them to tail him, alright? He still looks pretty concerned. And, well. Okay, he DIDN'T ask for them to follow him, but that doesn't help him not feel guilty about it.]

It's no fun to be sick. [He gets colds all the time, so.] And, er...Pess is with me. Looks like she wandered off by herself...it's a good thing we ran into each other.

[A pause.] Do you want me to bring her to you? I can pick up some medicine and stuff for you, too, if you want.

[video]

[miniworth]

[Edgeworth didn't ask Phoenix to pseudo-elope with Dahlia either, but he was relieved that the man is safe. He just doesn't want Phoenix to be angry at Apollo, because Apollo would be one of the only people who could warn Phoenix about, say, a certain Gavin.]

Mr. Apollo brought me some medicine earlier, but... [A pause. How do you ask people these things, again? It had seemed only natural a while ago, but now it seems so strange..] If it's no trouble, I'd appreciate that. [And Pess barks her affirmative. A walk with Phoenix!]

[video]

[totesaladder]

-- whoa, Miles, you look awful.

[video]

[miniworth]

Er-- [Cough.] Thank you, Miss Fey.

[video]

[totesaladder]

You're welcome!

-- uh, did you take medicine?

[video]

[miniworth]

[What a great way to greet someone.]

Mr. Apollo brought me some medicine, yes. And tea. [He's a bit miffed it wasn't hot chocolate, but he didn't mind the tea, either.]

[Video]

[smilegonnakillu]

[It's a shame that Dahlia has no Cold Killer X on her.]

[Oh, and guess who is in Violet now~?]

Oh my...you poor thing. Is there anything I can get you to make you feel better, Miles?

[Video]

[miniworth]

[Oh man that would have been glorious. It's really surprising Phoenix still uses that stuff after the Dahlia case, too. 8I

And Edgeworth definitely knows you're here, Dahlia. And he'll be watching you!... when he's not sick.]

Thank you for your concern, Miss Hawthorne. [A smile.] But I think I'll be all right, for now. Mr. Apollo's brought me some medicine and tea.

[Video]

[smilegonnakillu]

[She'll find something else to poison, I'm sure.]

Alright. Well, perhaps I can drop by for a visit sometime soon. I'll be nice finally seeing you in person, Miles.

[Video]

[miniworth]

[Poison them berries. They've already got drug-like side effects anyway. ]

And you too, Miss Hawthorne. I hope I don't get you sick, though. [He's heard of your capabilities, but he's not afraid of you, Miss Dahlia. He's got a perfectly nice smile on his face now, kind of like Kristoph.]
