sob I am so drugged up right now I don't even APOLOGIES IF THIS IS TOTAL CRAP

[acemedium]

[When she'd encountered Wolfwood at her lowest out in the streets and he'd dragged her off to a shelter to help - she realized he had a point. She didn't have the strength to smile right now - or do much of anything - but doing something was better than nothing]

[So she'd buried herself in work. Paperwork, actually, since that's all Phoenix seemed to have around him. The easier stuff she could manage - but the documents full of legalese made her cross-eyed, so that she just organized for him instead]

[She'd been at this for a while - not even bothering to pin her hair up like usual. With no appetite and nightmares keeping her up at night, she'd poured herself over these documents - mindlessly shuffling through them. She didn't even hear the knock, although the door was unlocked]

I can't go dress shopping with a girl, Maya, that would be silly.

[He just smiled.]

Come on, please?

[acemedium]

Sure you can. You just let her try on what she wants and buy it for her. You have to be there to pay anyway, don't you?

[lawyerific]

Of course not. And what if she asks my opinion on something? Isn't there like a girl code or something when trying on clothes?

[acemedium]

Yeah you do! You can't make her pay for her own clothes!

And I dunno. [She was almost always wearing her acolyte uniform...] I'm sure you'd be fine, Nick.

[lawyerific]

Hey! I'm going to give her money to pay for them, I don't have to be there with plastic--

[And what is this rare thing he's waving in the air, Maya? It's two lovely red coloured $50 bills.]

One for each of you. Come on, you could even take her out for burgers. She said she was looking forward to seeing her Auntie Maya.

[Two surprises at once, but a good thing needed to be seized upon in this place, right? The small reprieve could be all gone tomorrow.]

[acemedium]

[So much money.... But. Phoenix is about the most unsubtle person in the universe, so. She leans back in her chair, frowning, and looking from the money to him]

What is this all about?

[lawyerific]

[Blast! Did he come on too strong?]

What do you mean? Is it the wrong colour?

[acemedium]

[She's not buying it]

Cut to the chase, Nick.

[lawyerific]

... ...

[She's not going to believe it no matter what I say.]

Can't a guy give his best girls money and not have to explain himself? Come on, Maya!

[acemedium]

Like you'd ever give me money without me having to bug you for it. You haven't even taken me out to eat in forever.

So what's this, all of a sudden?

[lawyerific]

[His shoulders sink a little.]

What if I said I was feeling guilty?

[acemedium]

Guilty for what?

[lawyerific]

Trucy says you're her Aunt Maya. She seems to know Edgeworth too, and Franziska, and Larry. Meaning I'm wrong...about the future.

[acemedium]

Ah..... H-Huh?!

[lawyerific]

What I just said.

[Not looking at her.]
