Edgeworth's remark earned him a disapproving glance, but Phoenix refrained from making any comment. As far as he was concerned, they were both acting petty.
He turned his attention back to Tyki, watching the man's retreating form for a moment before he finally released his built-up tension with a sigh.
"I didn't mean it like that..." Aside from his knee-jerk defensiveness, he wasn't so much angry at Tyki as he was irritated about the situation in general, and the mounting weariness from his ordeal with the akuma wasn't making matters any better.
He ran a hand through his hair. At the very least, he owed Tyki his thanks. ...But maybe not here, he decided after another quick glance in Edgeworth's direction. The last thing he wanted was to be the cause of another source of contention.
"...But you're right," he added. "You should probably get going. I'll, uh... see you out."
