Filtered to Tamaki
You were a great Host King, my liege. I shall… I shall miss you dearly.

Filtered to Aziraphale
I don’t know what to say. It seems selfish to wish you hadn’t left, but I do.
… Live well, my angelic friend.

Filtered to Murphy MacManus
What the hell were you talking about? The doctors in the clinic said it was a loss.

Filtered to Gwaine and Cole
…I need help.

Filtered to Phoenix
Have a moment?

Filtered to Felix

I...well, he...

...Isn't a man allowed to complain when his alcohol is taken from him? What makes him so righteous? What gives him the right to go around and tell me I'm handling it wrong?

[He's afraid to tell Phoenix the exact details in case he agrees with Felix.]

[takethat]

Sure, I'd complain!

[He laughs, just a little.]

But maybe this guy was just worried about you. Who knows?

[thetrudger]

[He blinks. He hadn't considered that.]

I... I suppose that could be true.

Now, tell me. How did you fall out a window? Were you drunk?

[takethat]

...w-well, yes, as a matter of fact, I was drunk. I was drunk and leaning out the window, and this friend of mine tried to pull me back in but he tripped and sort of... succeeded in helping me fall out, instead.

[And that is how Edgeworth pushed me out the window.]

[thetrudger]

[A sigh.] I'll remember to drink with you in single-story taverns, then.
