[Phoenix is enjoying the cooler air outdoors now, curled up beneath a tree out on the castle grounds; he poses a question to the castle at large.]

Let's say I hypothetically want to cook a really great meal to impress someone--any suggestions? What's the most impressive dish you can think of?

[And, in a few minutes, he adds some filters.]




That thing we were talking about the other day? ...that isn't for everyone to know.






Maya? I'm... thinking of starting up a law practice again around here.

...I don't know if you're interested, but I could still use an assistant if I ever get that off the ground...

[So nervous about asking this...]






If there's anyone still out there who remembers a girl named Trucy... Maya told me a little bit about her, and I'd like to know more. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, you asked for impressive.

[takethat]

Guess I can't argue with that...

...unfortunately you probably hit the nail on the head with exactly what this person would be impressed by, too.

[Why does this have to be so complicated]

[yay_heiress]

Are you trying to impress a girl? Ooh! Can I help? I'm so good at hooking people up!

[takethat]

[Sputtering]

No...! No, no, that won't be necessary...! No hooking up is needed!

[yay_heiress]

Oh! You mean she's already your girlfriend?

[takethat]

[Why is this happening]

Uh... I guess you could say it's "official"... I'm still trying to make a good impression, though! I'm lucky I've got the chance.

[yay_heiress]

What have you tried so far?

[takethat]

Cookies.

[He laughs nervously.]

They were well-recieved, I guess... but still! It's got to be bigger and better than that!

[yay_heiress]

Just make the girl a lobster. Better yet, hire someone to do it for you! Aren't there restaurants around here that serve lobster?

with every tag I'm like "London why" ahahaha

[takethat]

Well, yes, but we kind of had a disastrous date at one of those restaurants and I'd rather not remember it any more than I have to.

ROFL!! :3

[yay_heiress]

Disastrous? What did you do?

[takethat]

What do you mean, what did I do?? It was his fault!

[Ahaha Phoenix so much for watching your words.]

[yay_heiress]

There's another guy?

[takethat]

...














[He seriously contemplates just shutting his journal and pretending this never happened, but... might as well answer as ambiguously honest as he can.]

Um.... yes?

[yay_heiress]

Sounds like you have some competition!
Go with the lobster. It works every time!

[takethat]

[Thankfully, he doesn't have any competition that he's aware of anyway.]

I will... take your suggestion to heart, uh... what's your name?

[yay_heiress]

London!

[takethat]

Good to meet you, London. I'm Phoenix Wright--I'm a defense attorney.

[yay_heiress]

[Ooh! An attorney could really come in handy. Especially a defense lawyer. At least in her world.]

Nice to meet you, Phoenix!

[takethat]

Nice to meet you too!

[yay_heiress]

So, who's your girlfriend?

[takethat]

[It's going to take more than that to get a full-blown confession out of Phoenix Wright!]

Oh I can't give you any names.

[yay_heiress]

You mean you don't want me to go chat you up?

[takethat]

I mean I don't think my "romantic interest" [he does air quotes, not that it matters] would be very keen on me blabbing to everyone about our relationship right now.

[yay_heiress]

Still in the early stages?

Lobster will make it official!
