[briskly] It appears so.

[pauses, as if considering something] Do you have either of the girls there this afternoon?

[attorneyatlol]

[have some mild confusion] Pearls or Maya, you mean? No... Why?

[samuraiprosecutor]

Hm. I suppose if you were going to be affected it...probably would have happened already.

[attorneyatlol]

Probably. [there's a frown in his voice] But what do Maya and Pearls have to do with that?

[samuraiprosecutor]

[in a matter of fact tone] I wouldn’t expect your reaction to be...quite as intense. Even if you’re alone, you should still have time to...contact someone if needed. Obviously other members have managed to do the same, if they’ve already begun broadcasting their phobias on the community.

[attorneyatlol]

[a lengthy pause before realization finally dawns] ...Oh. Oh. Yeah, I'd... I'd make sure to call someone if I thought I was affected. Don't worry.

[samuraiprosecutor]

[a pause in which Wright may be able to hear him rolling his eyes.]

[a bit hesitantly] I’ll be in and out of the office this afternoon, but I’ll...have my cell on me.

[attorneyatlol]

Okay. [there's a small smile in his voice] I'll have mine on me, too.

[samuraiprosecutor]

[and there’s a touch of relief in his] All right.

[attorneyatlol]

Alright...

[samuraiprosecutor]

[silence, broken by the rustling of papers. finally, awkwardly] If there was...nothing else, I have to get back to work.

[attorneyatlol]

Oh, right. [just as awkwardly, with some abruptly rusting papers in the background, as if he's trying to sound busy] Me too. So I'll, um... talk to you later then, I guess. Or... whenever.

[samuraiprosecutor]

[a noncommittal hum] Have a good day, Wright.

[attorneyatlol]

Yeah... You too, Edgeworth.

[samuraiprosecutor]

[a very long pause, punctuated by an almost inaudible intake of breath that indicates there’s something more to be said. finally, in an uncharacteristically quiet tone] I...appreciate your call.

[attorneyatlol]

[within that long pause, there's an uncertain silence on Phoenix's end as he likely wonders whether or not he should hang up; when Edgeworth finally speaks, however, there's a sense of relief in his words, as well as a smile]

It's no problem.

[samuraiprosecutor]

[his tone matches his friend’s.] Goodbye, Wright.

[the sudden silence of a disconnected call]
