[Thanks to Larry not knowing how to operate a stepladder correctly, Phoenix is currently laid up in bed, blue cast on his right leg, and an endless stream of whining ever at the ready.

He's also incredibly bored. Painting and drawing got old long ago, and he can't seem to stay focused on anything he tries to read. Never mind that he could probably pretty easily get out of bed and actually do something despite his (not very severely) broken leg...

He whines, over-dramatic, into the journal.]

Don't trust Larry Butz, everybody... he'll just break your bones and make you miserable...

...on a related note, come and sign my cast.

[With a bit of apprehension, he adds a filter.]



Um... Trucy? ...mind keeping your uh... old man... company for a little while?

[Good lord but he feels ridiculous even asking this of a teenager he's only just recently met.]

[cantacquityou]

That doesn't sound convincing enough to be worth the risk...

[takethat]

[Reaching slowly upward, he plainly gooses Edgeworth's butt, smiling innocently all the while.]

[cantacquityou]

[Jumps slightly at that and tenses, flashing a very, very sorry excuse for a glare.]

[takethat]

Now wouldn't it be nice to just stay here and kiss me and let me touch your rear?

[cantacquityou]

Would it not be nice to forego the kisses and move on to something a little more satisfying?

[takethat]

Yes, yes it would.




...so then. Let's get to that satisfaction.

[cantacquityou]

My thoughts exactly. Let's go to sleep.

[takethat]

[He lets go of Edgeworth's butt in favor of swatting him in the head.]

That's not what I agreed to!

[cantacquityou]

[brb loling]

[takethat]

Just get me my medicine...

[Crossing his arms over his chest. Not cool, Miles.]

[cantacquityou]

Oh, I'm sorry. Is it really that hard [pfft "hard"] to endure for a little while?

[takethat]

Yes. I think you're being completely unfair.

[cantacquityou]

But would it not make it so much sweeter in the end?

[takethat]

Well...

[Actually, he can't really argue with that.]

...yeah, I guess...

[But he does so hate to lose an argument.]

[cantacquityou]

I am a bit surprised you didn't think of it that way.

[takethat]

It is more romantic that way I guess...

[cantacquityou]

After all, we did survive several months without prior to us coming together, I am quite certain a little break won't break us...

[takethat]

I'll just have to not... look at you... until then.

[cantacquityou]

That didn't seem to be a problem before.

[takethat]

So mean...

[He shakes his head.]

It's a good thing I love you...

[cantacquityou]

Otherwise...?

[takethat]

...I'd smack you, of course.

[cantacquityou]

You just did.

[takethat]

...I'd slap you harder and with intent to hurt.

[cantacquityou]

Wouldn't that be considered domestic abuse?
