I wonder what's going to happen to me. Am I going somewhere?

Maybe it would be okay to go to a new place if my friends are there. Or Father! That would be good. Maybe I can watch him at work!

[Have a very stern stare, young Miles.]

...What are your writer's intentions for you?

Edited 2012-07-14 05:38 (UTC)

I don't know..maybe I'm not really supposed to go somewhere. [ what a scary man. ] I've seen you before.

[The Edgeworth boy. Yes, he's seen him in tow with the Attorney many times in the law firm offices...]

Of course you've seen me. I am Prosecutor Manfred von Karma.

A prosecutor? [ sticking out his tongue ] Good thing I forgot about you!

[What a little brat. Frowns at him, raising a brow.]

I would have thought your father would have taught you better manners than that.

Father always teaches me manners. But he also says prosecutors are trouble!

Hmn. Did he now?

Yeah. But maybe I'm not supposed to say that out loud...

You can be certain I am going to have words with your father regarding your unacceptable behavior in private.

No! It's not Father's fault! [ stands up, bows, clenches his fists; he is very serious ] I'm sorry for my bad manners, sir.

Heh.

["Spare the rod...", as they say. And to think he was so undisciplined! Edgeworth would know of this...incident.]

To ensure your bad behavior does not get repeated I'm afraid I shall have to summon him forthwith.

It won't happen again. [ still solemn; it's serious to make a mistake, especially if Father gets involved. ]

Watch me at work? Wouldn't you rather be out playing with your friends, Miles?

Oh, no! It's so much more fun to watch you!

(I wonder if it's OK for a child to like such adult things. I just worry it's not healthy...)

Well if you insist. But I think it would be much more fun if we went to Gourd Lake right after, don't you think?

As long as you go with me, Father. But what if you need to work late?

Ah!

That... has been the norm lately, hasn't it?

(I'm sorry.)

Well we'll just have to find something interesting to do at home before bedtime, hm?

Yes. Maybe you can tell me about what cases you're working on now!

Hm, my most recent client I'm defending has been accused of mur--

(Th-that's far too violent to talk about!)

Ma.. maybe you could tell me where you're thinking of attending? Has your writer picked out a ~~non-violent, wholesome, free of depravity~~ nice place for you?

Nope! I don't have anywhere to go right now. But I'm glad I found you!

[ and a rare, bright smile, even if the murder was more interesting to talk about ]

[As thrilling as it may be, he's most concerned with his little tyke being exposed to the darker side of defense. ...Innocence was such a precious and rare thing these days.]

And I you. You've no idea how worried your father's been.

[Just to touch him again was a comfort, sifting his fingers through Miles' hair and patting his head gently.]

It's been months for me since I've seen you safe.

[ the touch is appreciated, and the boy does not shy away from it. ] Months? I just saw you this morning! [ "this morning," december 28. ] You said I could watch you in court since it's winter break from school!

(Hah.. I shouldn't have let that slip.)

...I suppose it's slightly difficult to explain. My writer sent me to an island where I've been looking for you for sometime now.

Sounds a little silly, doesn't it?

[ to a child who is picturing his father dancing in a hula skirt and drinking out of a coconut, it sounds incredibly silly. he giggles. ]

What do you do there? Is it a deserted island or are there people?
