voice;

[It's early into the night, an hour or two after the sirens have gone off at most. She's out of breath and there's an underlying hint of pain in her voice as she steadies her tone.]

Mr. Edgeworth was killed tonight. His killer, Grimmjow, is still at large and is somewhere out here in the Darkness.

[It should be obvious, but she says it anyway. ( Read more... )

He's--

[She looks at him, tired, and then looks back at him.]

You want us to just take it? We'll be leading him back to others...

[He snorts, raising his eyebrows.]

What, is he a dog? No fear, anyway. I'll take it. And I won't take it near anyone else, I'll take it elsewhere, and go from there. If we have it, then we'll have him, right?

Something like that.

[She shoots him a look of surprise and concern.]

Absolutely not. I'll watch over it; I don't want you in harm's way too. And don't you dare fight me on it.

[He narrows his eyes at her.]

Don't tell me that, it only makes me want to fight all the more. And don't be stupid about this. What are you going to do with it? Where would you take it?

[She does almost the same, picking the sword up.]

I'll take it somewhere else, out of the city, so he can't damage any more property.

[Startled, he reaches for it, eyes narrowing still more.]

Yeah, but where. I already know somewhere. Give it to me, all right--isn't he already going to be after you for what you did to him? So we'll divide his attention. Simple.

[She smacks his hand away with startling speed; she's still on edge.]

Do you have a death wish?

[He's even more surprised by that--and it hurts, actually, in a stinging way--but he reaches for it again, stubborn to the last.]

For him? I do, yeah. For this bastard. Give it to me, and I'll take it somewhere for you.

[She moves it out of his reach, glaring.]

I'm not giving more people their death sentence tonight. Don't ask me to do such a thing.

[He glares right back, and raises his wand.]

You're wasting time, and that's what's going to kill more people than anything else. Give it to me, because I can take it and hide it and he won't ever be able to find it, when I'm done with it. I'll enchant this rotty old piece of shit and he'll tear the whole island apart and still not be able to find it.

And if you say 'no', I'll summon it straight out of your hands and do it anyway.

[She has a grip on his wrist faster than he can move, staring at him in the eyes. A moment passes and then she lets go, stepping back to lift the sword.]

Be sure that he can't ever find it.

[That speed is startling, to say the least, but he collects himself quickly and stares straight back. And he's surprised, honestly, when she offers the sword without further complaint, but he takes it anyway, heavy though it is.]

He could level every sodding building in this place and he wouldn't be able to find it. [And he steps back, scanning the street again before glancing back at her.] Half an hour. I'll be out looking for him, then. Should I find you again, or stay off away?

[And whatever she says on this, at least, he'll obey.]

[She puts a hand under his to help him hold it until he can handle the weight.]

Good. That's...all I care about. [She nods as she watches him, brushing some of her hair behind her shoulder.] ...You should do what you think is best. Just be careful.

[A nod in return, and he tightens his grip on the sword.]

I'm always careful. And I've never been caught. [A beat, and then he gives her a hollow grin.] Well. Caught once. But I never do repeat performances, so it won't happen again.

I'll ring you later. And-- if I find him, or if you do-- [But he settles for nodding again.] Tell me. And I'll do the same. All right?

[That does not help her confidence, but she smiles just the same.]

I know you won't be caught, but there's still other dangerous out here regardless. Just take care.

[Re-l nods.] I'll talk to you later, and you'll be the first to know if he shows his face again.
