[mukagen]

So you've had a taste of bullying people back, now drunk from that power.

[ The slowest applause. ]

Something about this makes me want to beat you up? It's weird.

[ It reminds him of his high school years, just enjoying stupid company. ]

[worthyness]

Such a violent approach. Have you considered meditation instead?

[yeah. sometimes...you can actually be comfortable in someone's presence enough to make a whole bunch of stupid quips.]

[mukagen]

[ Is Miles... Sassing him... Is this what god intended? While honored, he is very shook. ]

I have, actually! [ In all seriousness. ] What about you? Sometimes you just need to empty your mind.

[ He knows your mind is full of crap, Miles. ]

You know. Just dump everything.

[worthyness]

[sometimes you just shoot your shot because you're never seeing this man ever again.]

I'm afraid that's completely out of the question. But nice thought.

[mukagen]

[ SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SHIT TO HIM EARLIER ]

Are you incapable?

[worthyness]

[:|]

Of course not. [immediately walking into this trap. ] But not all of us can simply remove everything just because we feel like it. Some thoughts are required to continue forward.

[mukagen]

[ Hhhhhhhhh. He just keeps smiling. ]

... How long do you think meditation lasts?

[worthyness]

However long it's suppose to? If you meditate for an hour, it will last an hour.

[that's really not how that works and yet.]

[mukagen]

I guess this isn't wrong, but you can just do twenty minutes a day with guided meditation.

[ Which Gojou thinks is easier! Sorcerers do something similar to meditation, but it's... Obviously very different. It's training and you never go back again. ]

It's easier when someone tells you what to do, then you only need to follow instructions. A bonus if you like their voice!

[worthyness]

[he frowns in thought.]

I'm not sure meditation is for me in any case. [it's a nice thought, but hm.]

[mukagen]

Awww, you don't want to try it out for five minutes?

[ me: who can even meditate properly for five minutes who is that strong ]

[worthyness]

I thought you said it would be better if it was a voice I liked. [now he's purposefully being rude, but given he looks smug about it he doesn't actually mean it? he's pushing to see how far gojou will take it.]

[mukagen]

Ouch, that hurt? [ Touches his chest to feign HEARTACHE and it's gone. ] It's cute that you're trying to pretend.

[ He takes it in stride because he knows this play. Also, Miles would have yeeted Gojou if he thought he was too annoying. ]

I can use my serious voice, you know!

[worthyness]

[this turnabout is less funny but he makes a face anyhow. ]

That implies the existence of your serious voice. Is there such a thing?

[mukagen]

[ At least Gojou thinks it’s funny? Anyway, let him use his relaxed voice, stripped of mischief and mirth. ]

Miles Edgeworth... [ Dramatic Pause. ] This court finds you guilty.

[worthyness]

[hm. there's a very thin smile, more rueful than actually annoyed.]

Ah. A bit soon for that, but point taken. The prosecution rests.

[mukagen]

[ Stop!! Don’t be depressed!!!! ]

You will be sentenced to a headlock... And five minutes of hair tousling. This is fine punishment for your crime: bullying Gojou Satoru.

Do you agree?

[worthyness]

Ah, what was it you said? Something about not being able to be tried under the same standards? I believe I'm actually innocent of this crime, especially since the plaintiff probably deserved every moment of this supposed bullying.

[mukagen]

You are being tried under "Space Law?" And these crimes were committed in space where we currently were and are both equals.

[ Gojou may be getting too into this, then it hits up —HOLD UP! ]

We're supposed to try meditating.

[worthyness]

[he's about to throw out a big ol' OBJECTION! but then suddenly it's back to meditation. he blinks slowly like he's trying to decide how to reply.]

...right, of course. So let's say we tried this meditation thing. How does it start?

[mukagen]

You look dissatisfied, but you can have your time after your five minutes!

[ Nerd. Time out. All right, another act of stupidity comes. ]

Close your eyes. Focus on my voice.

[worthyness]

[huff. alright, alright. this is so incredibly stupid and he glares at gojou for a moment before falling silent and closing his eyes.]

Fine. Let's get on with it.

[mukagen]

Start emptying out your thoughts. That also includes thinking I’m stupid. I can see it on your face.

[ He has studied the different furrows and knitted eyebrows by now, but anyway. Back to calm and neutral voice. ]

Breathe in, breathe out. Think of a field... Maus is running through it. Think about what makes you happy. It’s there, right beside you, in that field.

[worthyness]

[he absolutely is thinking this is stupid but fine. he's listening, and...failing? he is absolutely failing at this visualization thing if the scrunch of his eyebrows is any indicator. emptying thoughts is a lot harder than it looks when you're busy going over the mental checklist of things you need to do.

but an attempt is being made and he's not verbally interrupting. that is progress.

...eventually though he seems to level out to something neutral, at least, even if it isn't quite relaxed. five minutes. this only has to last for five minutes.]

[mukagen]

[ God, Miles, why is he doing this for you (why is he doing this at all). He really wants to smooth out his expression, but he will refrain from touching the prosecutor. ]

Breathe in, breathe out. Think about your happiest moment.

[ Would this work better? ]
