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.

[fergalicious]

[ Medb will force the softness out of him, in between the lines or not. ]

Corruption?

[ What? ]

[probe]

Within the law. Certain incidents have happened to poison the public's view of the justice system.

[fergalicious]

Oh, right. I remember you saying that. People getting falsely accused got people to distrust the law system.

[ 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?

[probe]

[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.]

[fergalicious]

Using the power of a wish is manipulation.

[ 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.

[probe]

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.

[fergalicious]

[ She gestures to their surroundings.

Is being here not losing some time? ]

[probe]

I am aware, thank you.

[annoying!!! all of it!!! ]

[fergalicious]

[ She bursts into giggles. It really is funny to get a rise out of him. ]

You were so contemplative. I just wanted to help.

[ She was just being a bully. ]

[probe]

[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.]

Is this truly helping? [ABSOLUTE BULLYING.]

[fergalicious]

It's helping me?

[ So yeah, bullying helps. Awful. Terrible. ]

[probe]

Oh, well then clearly the option is to continue mocking me.

[...it is...he will allow it...i hate when miles edgeworth actually likes people because then he just complains uselessly while ultimately letting people do whatever.]

[fergalicious]

[ A big ole softie.... who could've imagined.....

This is why Kay gets away with so much shit.

For more bullying, Medb just invades his personal space to give him a hug. ]

[probe]

[such a surprise...

also? this is terrible x2 because there's a surprised sort of noise but suddenly there's a hug? medb is hugging him? she's still healing as far as he's concerned so he's not going to push her off but. he'll lay a hand on top of her head, eventually. sure.]

Anything else you'd like to get out of your system?

[fergalicious]

[ She giggles. Fufufu.

But yeah, thanks for asking, Miles. Her smile turns mischievous, and she gets on her very tip toes to kiss him on the cheek.

It would have been on the mouth, but I want him to answer her texts. ]

[probe]

[i'm crying. he looks briefly baffled before he just frowns in thought.]

Point taken. [thanks medb.]

[fergalicious]

[ teehee. she winks. ]

You know I can always escalate.

[ how many times has she rung the fuck alarm?

it makes me tired. ]
