Indulgences, Medb. [and he leaves it at that because he just.
SIGHS. ABOUT MAHITO. AND STARES AT THE CEILING.]
Yes, I am unfortunately very well aware of what Mahito is like. I never said it was going well, but I'm a prosecutor. I'm not supposed to spend my time constantly believing in my client. [and yet trying seemed viable anyway.]
He's a nightmare. An intelligent, whimsical nightmare.
[it's sort of like studying a sociopath? it was fascinating and also just a bad idea. on the other hand he nods.]
You are one of the most tolerable people I've spoken to, I'll admit that. It's refreshing. [because even if she's selfish and also herself, it's something he can handle easily.]
It's possible. Who knows what his criteria is for liking people. [mahito seemed to like greed himself and miles is never going to understand what that means.
still, he tilts his head in thought.]
Miss Monroe has improved. Miss Nonagesimus. Sasazuka. Gojou...Tealeaf and Enomoto can't take a hint, neither can Mrs. Hammond.
[but that's also just a cover because admitting he's okay with those three feels like a trap.]
...and I suppose I find Wrath and Pride equally tolerable. [very glad it's not emotions week so medb can't get a read on how he feels about literally any of these people.]
Incredibly so. It was the impression I got as well, but I suppose that's natural for the embodiment of human distain.
[they can agree on that, at least. also stop no leave him alone.]
...admittedly, it's because Harrowhark reminds me of someone important to me. Sasazuka and I have more similarities than I care to admit to him. [they are in fact two of his favorites, period, for that reason. when it comes to gojou though...]
Gojou's still incredibly obnoxious. Do not doubt that for a second. [but he doesn't seem particularly bothered.] ...it's selfish, but he also reminds me of someone very important to me. They aren't quite the same, and yet...[he shrugs like it isn't a big deal.] I suppose I'm curious.
Oh, does she remind you of who I saw in your memory?
[ For all the two minutes Medb saw of Franziska, she thinks they could have similar vibes, and that tracks for Miles and Takeru. Medb doesn't know just how many similarities they have, but I know enough OOCly to nod, and she likes the two of them for different reasons, but she can sense those like vibes, too. ]
also. unfortunately he grins like he thinks it's amusing.]
Franziska, yes. I suppose you could call her my sister. [franziska is so brutal and yet he still loves her. and it's 100% that, harrow and franziska are the same brand of brutally honest no mercy lesbian that he just kind of nodded and decided that he would help her himself.]
As for Gojou...[he tilts his head as if thinking about it.] ...his name's Phoenix Wright.
[and she gets no context but also it's been about a year since phoenix has been disbarred...things changed.]
[ YES? JUST BECAUSE I LIKE MY CHARACTERS TO DIE DOESN'T MEAN I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON.
He can say he's soft for someone who reminds him of his sister, too, but she is merciful sometimes. Can't believe Gojou is Edgeworth's Phoenix expy, though. ]
The one you'd use your wish to help, right? Do you miss him?
listen he will never admit he's soft for people if he can help it. everybody is forced to read between the lines. also yeah me either it's horrible but that's where he's at.]
Yes. [he does not clarify if he means yes to the first or to the second question, but that's because again he will never admit he's soft for people if he can help it.] ...if we don't find a way to fix the corruption, everything's going to get worse. I have to do everything in my power to fix it.
[he nods because yeah? they were absolutely falsely accused? this isn't a bias at all.]
Why do you think I'm here, Medb? [...] I want to do this the right way. If manipulation is involved, then I'm no better than the crimes Wright and Blackquill have been accused of. [...well one involves murder but whatever. been there done that too.]
Ah, not if it's something I've put work into myself. I am merely asking for a solution, or at least an idea to fix it. There's something amiss and I will find the truth.
...I just don't want to lose time if I can help it.
[horrible. but...there's a brief smile anyway when he hears her laugh. this is still after the cyoa so he's mostly just relieved even if this is at his expense.]

You have to know what Mahito is like.

SIGHS.
ABOUT MAHITO.
AND STARES AT THE CEILING.]
Yes, I am unfortunately very well aware of what Mahito is like. I never said it was going well, but I'm a prosecutor. I'm not supposed to spend my time constantly believing in my client. [and yet trying seemed viable anyway.]
no subject
He's a curse. You can believe that's what he is, but at least I'm not unreasonable.
[ At least, no one has tripped the switch for her to be full unreasonable.
Much to my chagrin. ]
no subject
[it's sort of like studying a sociopath? it was fascinating and also just a bad idea. on the other hand he nods.]
You are one of the most tolerable people I've spoken to, I'll admit that. It's refreshing. [because even if she's selfish and also herself, it's something he can handle easily.]
no subject
Yeah, I keep wondering if I got him to like me enough not to murder me first.
[ She's going to flirt with him when he least expects it, and will he still think he can handle it again? ]
Who else do you find tolerable?
no subject
It's possible. Who knows what his criteria is for liking people. [mahito seemed to like greed himself and miles is never going to understand what that means.
still, he tilts his head in thought.]
Miss Monroe has improved. Miss Nonagesimus. Sasazuka. Gojou...Tealeaf and Enomoto can't take a hint, neither can Mrs. Hammond.

...and I suppose I find Wrath and Pride equally tolerable. [very glad it's not emotions week so medb can't get a read on how he feels about literally any of these people.]
no subject
I think he liked most people for one reason or another, but I got the feeling that he also was kind of... nihilistic?
[ Everything's chill to Mahito because nothing really maters. That's kind of what he seems like to Medb.
Coming back to Greed for her weekly date with him to ask about all these people for emotionshare. ]
I thought you'd like Takeru and Harrow most. [ Those seem like the personality types he'd vibe with. ] Satoru...? Is he less obnoxious with you?
[ She can see through his tsun. It's fine. Those last three... she can see them trying to cut through his tsun. ]
no subject
Incredibly so. It was the impression I got as well, but I suppose that's natural for the embodiment of human distain.
[they can agree on that, at least. also stop no leave him alone.]

And who does Satoru remind you of?
no subject
also. unfortunately he grins like he thinks it's amusing.]
Franziska, yes. I suppose you could call her my sister. [franziska is so brutal and yet he still loves her. and it's 100% that, harrow and franziska are the same brand of brutally honest no mercy lesbian that he just kind of nodded and decided that he would help her himself.]
As for Gojou...[he tilts his head as if thinking about it.] ...his name's Phoenix Wright.
[and she gets no context but also it's been about a year since phoenix has been disbarred...things changed.]
no subject
She nods. ]
I thought so. You were willing to give her some hints during trial.
[ She remembers. ]
Who is Phoenix Wright?
[ Give her context!! ]
no subject
She earned them. I can reward good work when I see it. [so there's that.]
...Wright is the man I followed through that house. And one of the people I need to help.
no subject
He can say he's soft for someone who reminds him of his sister, too, but she is merciful sometimes. Can't believe Gojou is Edgeworth's Phoenix expy, though. ]

no subject
Corruption?
[ What? ]
no subject
no subject
[ Or well, Miles thinks they were falsely accused.
(narrator voice) they were very much falsely accused. ]
You can't do anything to manipulate public sentiment?
no subject
Why do you think I'm here, Medb? [...] I want to do this the right way. If manipulation is involved, then I'm no better than the crimes Wright and Blackquill have been accused of. [...well one involves murder but whatever. been there done that too.]
no subject
[ She has to point it out. If it's power that you don't have with your own two hands, it's manipulation of some sort. ]
But I'm guessing you want to be able to find and reveal whatever false evidence there was.
no subject
...I just don't want to lose time if I can help it.
no subject
Is being here not losing some time? ]
no subject
[annoying!!! all of it!!! ]
no subject
You were so contemplative. I just wanted to help.
[ She was just being a bully. ]
no subject
Is this truly helping? [ABSOLUTE BULLYING.]
no subject
[ So yeah, bullying helps. Awful. Terrible. ]
