prayer five ✞ dictated

[Esther actually seems kind of sad and not her normal, cheery self!]

I guess.. people have been saying the children have all gone...

[Oh? Is that it? It's easier to miss something that you never had! Esther, while she did help others out with childcare cough, Father Tres, was not given a child of her own! On one hand, that was probably a good thing - who would it have looked like? She didn't have a partner in Paradisa. On the other, it made her kind of sad to see the tots go.]

I hope people aren't too sad over their departure. After all, it had to happen at some point! Still, they were cute...

[Sniff!

Looks like the one who is upset is Esther! But she pulls herself together quickly. After all, she had a mission in this broadcast!]

I was thinking .. perhaps one night some people would like to get together and make dinner? Some of you may be used to eating in groups and it can be lonely here, if you don't have someone to eat with. We could make a night out of it, making dinner and eating together, even having dessert!

A-Ah.. if people are interested..

I was thinking the same thing! It might .. help people feel more at home here.

I don't think we've met - I'm Sister Esther Blanchett.

[takethat]

Nice to meet you--I'm Phoenix Wright. I'm a defense attorney.

[starhipped]

Ooh, woooow! That must be a very difficult job!

[takethat]

Oh it's... well kind of!

[A laugh]

But I love it. So you're a Sister--like a nun?

[starhipped]

Mm! It's good to do what you love, I think.

[She gets this question a lot.]

Yes, I'm a Sister of the Catholic Church. I guess you can say that's my official profession!

[takethat]

And is that something you love doing?

[starhipped]

[No pause here.]

Mm! I am very happy with the church and my duties.

[takethat]

Glad to hear it then! I've known a few "Sisters" in the past, back in my world, though not Catholic Sisters. Seems like a tough job sometimes, huh?

[starhipped]

Other kinds of Sisters?

[Interesting!]

A-Ah, well, it can be! But I find it very rewarding. I'm sure you feel the same about your work, right?

[takethat]

Sure, of course. I guess in both cases, we're doing jobs that help other people, right?

[starhipped]

Exactly! It is a service to His children!

[takethat]

It's refreshing to talk to someone so devoted to helping others.

[It's a quality Phoenix not only tries to cultivate in himself, but also admires in others.]

[starhipped]

Mm! I feel the same way! Helping others is very important to a fulfilling life!

[takethat]

You must be one of the most genuinely kind people in this castle. You certainly seem it.

[starhipped]

A-A-Ah.. you are very kind! I d-don't know if that's true but...

[Homegirl is bad at taking a compliment.]

I could say the same about you!

[takethat]

[Have a good-natured laugh]

Well, I'm not too sure about it, either, but thank you.

[starhipped]

[H-He is the nicest person..]

Mm! So, you'll be attending the dinner?

[takethat]

Absolutely! I wouldn't miss it. I can't cook very many things, but I'll bring something. Just keep in touch about when it is--okay?

[starhipped]

Of course! it'll be nice to meet face to face!

[takethat]

Agreed. Looking forward to it!

[starhipped]

Yes! You should hear from me soon!
