CHARACTERS: Edgeworth and the Murderettes
LOCATION: The brig, yar har
WARNINGS: Edgeworth is an emo asshole
SUMMARY: So Edgeworth is in the brig on his own insistence for a murder he didn't commit. Come make fun of him! Throw things! Pay $2 for a bag of peanuts to feed him!
NOTES: Can happen between the 17th and the 20th. If you can't get him to talk, present: badge.


[Edgeworth doesn't look up when people come to see him. He just keeps looking at his hands, quiet and still; he says little. Still, he hasn't put in a request for no visitors, and he won't; it's less from a desire for company than from a desire for people to be able to see he's getting no special treatment. In the brig, like any other criminal, no matter that he was until recently the one guarding it.

He's in his suit still. He looks exhausted.]

[He looks up, startled at the not-quite-threat; it's a good threat, though, and effective, because his grim response is at once to lower his head in acknowledgment and say:]

I shall...endeavor to spare you the difficulty.

[And to show his good will, he does pick up his fork, and he does reach over to push the food around. Doesn't eat it yet, but he's proving he's not ignoring it. And he adds, with finality:]

Thank you. For...taking care of her. I'm in your debt.

[puppydogeyes]

You're my team. No debts.

[She states it plain and steady, and doesn't wait around for an argument. He's eating - almost, anyway - and she can't do any more for him by standing around here watching him. She turns and heads back out of the brig, dogs gathering themselves and trailing along behind her.]
