[Written]

So, I woke up this morning to find all my stuff cleaned up and arranged and put away. Since there's no one else who could've would've done that but you, I have questions:
1. Why?
2. When?
3.












Where did you put my underwear??

[asdf what are you trying to DO to me









"I just think it's not that weird that we get along."]

[cantacquityou]

I do. We have absolutely nothing in common...Save for the fact that we're lawyers. And we are even opposites in that respect.

[takethat]

["We both want to find the truth. We both have a passion for what we do. Morally, we're not that different."

A pause to look back out the window and rest his thumbs, then:

"So what if you're anal and I'm a slob?"]

[cantacquityou]

...Thanks.

[takethat]

[He blows a raspberry.

"You're so welcome."

All teasing aside, he's busy trying to search Edgeworth's expression without being noticed for some sign of whether or not his genuine words struck any chords.]

[cantacquityou]

[Chords were struck, all right. Fortunately for him, he sees you clearly in whatever limited peripheral vision he has. His gaze remains fixed upon outside.]


...


Was there something you wanted to add?

[takethat]

[He shakes his head.










"Still want that fancy-pants drink?"]

[cantacquityou]

...Hm.




...The service is taking quite longer than usual.

[takethat]

["You could always have some nice, quality Red."]

[cantacquityou]

...Very well. Let us see this, 'Red.'

oh drunk phoenix icons

[takethat]

["Great!"

He swings back into the room and scampers off to the kitchenette, returning in a moment to reclaim his seat in the window, now with a bottle of nondescript red wine, two glasses, and a bottle opener in tow.]

Isn't it a little too early? XD

[cantacquityou]

[reaches for the wine bottle]


Let's see here. It's a Merlot. It's called...


...






...Wow. ...This is so fitting...

it's never too early for drunk phoenix!~

[takethat]

[He leans over to try to get a look at the label.

"What?"]

[cantacquityou]

..."Red Thread."

[takethat]

[A slow smile spreads across his face. He approves, and holds out the two glasses.

"Shall we, then?"]

[cantacquityou]

[Opens the wine bottle, and pours a glass for them both. He sips.]







...The proverbial Red String of Fate. Coincidentally, I just happened to think of it...Far be it from me to believe in such hogwash, but it is as though our friendship and our rivalry were...destined, somehow.


[sips again.]


...It would explain why I could never quit get rid of you.




[[Strike exists only for mun's amusement. Yes.]]

i c wut u did thar

[takethat]

[Sipping wine isn't something Phoenix has ever really been a fan of; he takes a few gulps of it instead, then balances it on the windowsill next to his leg.

"So do you believe in it or don't you?"]

[cantacquityou]

...It is just an entertaining thought. And what of you?

[takethat]

["I guess I believe everything happens for a reason."

He downs the rest of his glass.]

[cantacquityou]

...How cliché.




[He takes a sip. Swishing the wine around in the glass, and gazes off, biting his lip.]

[takethat]

["Red string of fate isn't exactly the most original idea either, you know." He shrugs and pours himself another glass, which he also gulps. "But it is a nice thought, I admit."]

[cantacquityou]

...There's something about the idea that appeals to me, though.

/spamming this icon, nbd

[takethat]

["It's kind of a comforting idea."]

"Are you okay?"]
