...you don't HAVE to consult me on every single new development, you know. If he wants to start running around looking like Captain Harlock, that's HIS business.

I highly doubt that the art represents an intentional fashion statement, Wright.

That's a valid excuse for the eyepatch, but what's the deal with the coat?

~~Not to mention the fact I think he's just added an extra hour to his hair prep.~~

The coat I will concede on. As for his hair, he has long idolized you, has he not? Even if his image thereof was damaged upon his encounter with a broken version of yourself.

"Broken." Gee, thanks for making a guy feel good, Edgeworth.

I guess, but he's already admitted putting way the hell too much time into that do without trying to copy mine to boot.

I doubt that one could look upon your career and decide to become a defense attorney on that basis without possessing a masochistic streak.

I... I don't have a masochistic streak!

I was accusing Justice of possessing one, not you, Wright.

D'OH!

The implication was there!

I concede that your proposal is a logical extension of my point.

You really make me envy my older self's "don't give a damn" attitude, you know that?

If you should envy anything, it should be his talent for manipulation; someone so skilled at the art would be unlikely to inadvertently belittle himself.

[Excuse you, Phoenix.]

You really can't criticize my fashion decisions, Mr. Wright.

Oh come on, you barely put any effort into it! You just tossed a military jacket on and called it a day.

Where did you even GET that thing anyway?

Excuse me for not having Mr. Edgeworth give me a makeover.

Probably your closet.

I can't speak for my future self, but I'm pretty sure wearing a 7 years out of date suit is not the best way to reintroduce yourself to the court system.

Why the hell would *I* have a coat like that?

I didn't think you cared that much about appearances.

I don't know. Why would you wear flip flops with sweat pants and a sweatshirt?

Look, being in court and trying to look like you're a complete lost cause are two completely different things here.

Besides, who did I have left to impress at that point, REALLY?

(Wait, he was trying to look like a lost cause?)

I meant before all that too. Your old blue suit wasn't exactly the most impressive thing.

There's looking like a lost cause and then there's impractical footwear.

Oh come on, this suit is perfectly functional!

Hey, I'm sure I found them perfectly comfortable.

Functional, yes. Fashionable, definitely not. Especially compared to the new one.

Sandals in a freezing restaurant?

YOU try buying a fashionable suit after a last-minute switch to a law degree and tell me how good of one you can find.

Maybe he just had warm feet. Look, I can't explain ALL of my older self's fashion choices.

What does timing have to do with it? It's not like suits are seasonal attire.

Let's just say a law degree is a HELL of a lot more expensive than an art one.

I noticed.

Being an honest defense attorney doesn't pay well either.

Welcome to the enriching life of truth and justice.

I think "enriching" isn't the word you were looking for, Mr. Wright.

[Hey now Phoenix, eyepatches are cool! But... oh look, it's her. Well, a version of Sir Hellsing that Phoenix has never met. It's been thirty years since she's seen him last, but she at least remembers him!]

Humph.

[That's it Integra? No witty comments you feel inclined to share with the class? Or maybe she's just waiting for you to say something about her own eyepatch. You cannot really tell with her, really.]

She comes to be with an eyepatch and obvious signs of aging and all she can give me is "hmmph?"

...You look different. New haircut?

If only war was ever that kind.

War. Right. I'm guessing that in whatever period of time has apparently passed, things kind of went south.

Perhaps... would it comfort you to know my losses are nowhere as severe as to what I did to them?

[Like shooting the Nazi Major in the head. How comforting indeed.]

Not really? Especially if you're gonna be that SMUG about it.

I guess so?

[Pffft, her smugness is just an act, Phoenix. Perhaps now would/wouldn't be a good time to bring up Alucard, hmm?]

Well, you know, my service was for that of Queen and country. That in itself is a blessing.
