[Ai's nervous.

Athena had signed her up for this event so suddenly that Ai was at a loss on what to actually do. What was there to talk about? What if the other half of this date didn't like her or found her boring??? In fact, why was this esper so worried and nervous about a date compared to the many missions she was sent on back in her world which were way more dangerous and life threatening???

Even so, Ai Thao feels like she should try her best to have a good time, regardless of who she was paired up with. After all, a blind date wasn't a guarantee of... whatever happens after it becomes legit. So Ai will be waiting in front of the froyo place, dressed up neatly, shyly running her hand through her hair as she glances at her device every once and a while.
]

I wonder, did I come here too early...??

[At first, Edgeworth was unsure of what to do. But he couldn't say no to Mabel, so he reluctantly decides to go through with this blind date thing and hopes that he finds a person he can tolerate. Hopefully Mabel knows what she's doing. Besides, he owes her for saving his bacon when they both got zapped into ViViD.

So, not long after Ai arrives at Froyo, Edgeworth does the same, clad in his usual suit and cravat, bringing nothing, not even a single rose, since he was doing this more out of obligation than anything. The badge is pinned to his lapel...a blue badge. At least it stands out from his wine-red ensemble. He is quick to notice the same badge worn by a young woman outside Froyo...ah. He approaches her tentatively, eyes flicking from one side to another as if checking that yes, she would be his "date" for today.]


Good morning, Miss Ai Thao. [He settles for greeting her properly first - formally, a touch stiltedly.] I'm Miles Edgeworth. [The badge says as much - okay, it just says "Mr. Edgeworth" - but he thinks it's more polite to do the introduction than to let the badge say it all.]
emotive: (You've got a strange magic)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-07-18 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Good morning. Mr. Edgeworth, right?

[Ai realizes that she might be looking too tentative so she gives a smile and a small bow of her head towards her date.]

I'm glad we could both make it! I was afraid this would seem like too much trouble at first.
prosecutory: (♘ long live the king)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-07-19 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. It's a pleasure to meet you. [Although I would rather that we met under...other circumstances.]

[Despite that thought, he bows elegantly. He's also glad he made it (sort of) because the date waiting for him is this well-mannered young woman. It could have been worse. At least if he has to endure this ordeal, it would be bearable instead of intolerable.]

emotive: (Increase the chance of misinterpretation)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-07-20 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a little too soon to say, "So far, so good," but his politeness and the bow that he exchanged back for her was at least a decent sign.]

Ah, we should serve ourselves some yogurt and then take a seat.

[She pauses before starting to go over to the machines, looking at Edgeworth curiously.]

Although, I have to wonder, do you like sweets and desserts??
prosecutory: (♘ my castles stand)

[Edgeworth makes sure to open the door for Ai as they enter Froyo, and as soon as they step inside, he feels the temperature drop by a few degrees. Well, that was to be expected. What he did not expect was the whimsical decor, or the squishy marshmallow chairs. His forehead furrows slightly; this almost looks more like a child's hangout and he half-expects a playground in the distance.

Still, he does walk over to the machines, his curiosity piqued. Edgeworth has to admit, he's beginning to feel peckish. When Ai speaks, however, he looks over to her, maintaining eye contact with her rather than the dispensers.]


In moderation. It's good to see there are healthier options, as well. [His gaze sweeps over the fruit and nuts. And dark chocolate had the most nutritional value out of all the types of chocolate.]
emotive: (Would you like to restart?)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-07-23 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Ai probably thinks that the decor is nice. And cute. What's wrong with cute after all?

She's already taking a cup and handing one to Edgeworth.
]

Health is a good thing to think about! I think that food that's healthy, delicious, and makes you feel good is important.

[... And then she proceeds to take two cups for herself, filling them with yogurt and... Well, she creates two hefty servings. Does someone here not know what moderation is...?]
prosecutory: (♘ an honest word)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-07-24 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Edgeworth takes the cup, and he gives her a nod of thanks. He watches Ai pick up two cups...wait, he already has one, hasn't she forgotten...

Oh. Ohhhh. They're both for her. And they're both rather large servings. He blinks, but averts his eyes so he doesn't embarrass her or come off as rude by staring. As for him, he opts for plain vanilla yogurt with strawberries, nuts and blueberries.]


Indeed. [It's also important to watch your serving size...] Shall we find a table?
emotive: (Don't stop loving me the way you do)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-07-24 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[When it comes to certain things, her monstrous consumption of food stuffs causes her to be oblivious to a certain extent. Ah, well, shouldn't be a problem really.

She nods at his suggestion and quickly chooses a table nearby, setting down her yogurt cups first before seating herself.
]

There were just so many options, it was hard to limit myself with all the toppings! But everything looks delicious.
prosecutory: (♙ somebody shake me)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-07-25 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He seats himself as well; Ai had already taken her seat before he could pull her marshmallow chair out for her. When Edgeworth sits down, he does so gingerly, as if afraid that the chair would crumble under him.]

You could always return at another time to try the other toppings.
emotive: (If love is the answer hold on)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-07-25 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
True! I didn't get everything after all.

[ai that wasn't his point...]

Ah, so Mr. Edgeworth, it's not too much of me to ask whether you're the only one from your world or if there are others you're acquainted with here, is it?
prosecutory: (♘ upon pillars of salt)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-07-26 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[...that wasn't everything yet?

Anyway.]


There are several of us from the same world, albeit from different timelines.
emotive: (Politefully saying das BS sir)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-07-26 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. That sounds like it would get complicated quickly. I'm the only one from my world as far as I can tell...
prosecutory: (♘ in a faraway field)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-07-27 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
It did. [Despite the fact that this wouldn't be Edgeworth's first time dealing with timey-wimey shenanigans.] And, for a while, I was also the only one from my world.

Then everyone else started to arrive.
emotive: (You've got a strange magic)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-07-27 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Would you consider some of them friends then?

[Ai thinks it's kind of nice that some people were able to find and stick to each other when coming from the same home world. You know, it's just some sort of good news.]
prosecutory: (♙ the mistakes)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-07-27 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
["Some" is actually an accurate amount. Phoenix was his friend, yes. Larry too, though Edgeworth was loath to admit it openly. There were Maya and Pearl, young girls who've proven to be trustworthy.

But there were also people Edgeworth only got to know in this world and timeline - Athena, Myriam and the Blackquills. And Mia...Mia was always a rival to him until her death, and she was truly alive again. Could he call them friends?

Manfred von Karma, Edgeworth was certain, was no friend of his.

So, he looks up from where he had picked up a sliver of strawberry with his spoon, and nods solemnly.]


Yes. Yes, I would.
emotive: (All the pretty girls on a Saturday night)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-07-27 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad for you then! I only started making friends when I found myself in this place.

[She's halfway done... with her first cup... where did it all go...]

Even though the circumstances here aren't the most ideal, I'm happy I get to meet different people such as yourself!
prosecutory: (♘ and the sound of drums)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-07-27 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Thankfully Edgeworth is paying more attention to the conversation than how much yogurt Ai is consuming in one sitting.]

That's good to hear. It's astounding that despite all the strange events we've experienced, life here goes on as usual.

[And it was an honor to meet her, too. Maybe this blind date wasn't such a bad idea.]
emotive: (Fade into view)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-07-27 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
True! I find myself having a lot of time and liberty to do as I please. It wasn't like that for me before...

[okay... what else does one talk about on dates...]

Um... Mr. Edgeworth? You're older than me right?

[NAILED IT]
prosecutory: viva la vida; coldplay (♘ I used to rule the world)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-08-02 11:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'm twenty-seven.

[MAKE OF THAT WHAT YOU WILL, he has learned that appearances are deceiving when it comes to age.]
emotive: (But somebody told me)

1/2

[personal profile] emotive 2015-08-02 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Whoooooooooaaaaa]

But you look so....! Well, I mean, I figured you were older, but...
emotive: (I'm not someone who can easily hide)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-08-02 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
N-Never mind... I'm just going to sound stupid, I know it!

[Gonna hide behind one of her yogurt cups here, don't mind her!]
prosecutory: (♘ never an honest word)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-08-03 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Edgeworth's hand freezes just as his spoon is halfway to his mouth. He puts it back into his cup, and blinks. What did she mean, did she mean that he looked younger than twenty-seven, or he looked way, way older than she was?

It was probably the latter, because that was the norm, but...]


I look so...what, precisely? [He looks genuinely confused.]
emotive: (If love is the answer hold on)

[personal profile] emotive 2015-08-05 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Um... You look younger than that... I mean, you look good for your age and...!

[Praying to god that she did not sound mean or thoughtless about this, sob]
prosecutory: (♗ just a face in the crowd)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-08-06 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
...

[He's not convinced, but he's going to change the topic.]

Er...thank you, I suppose. [And he punctuates that by eating that spoonful of yogurt he was supposed to eat until you brought up his age, Ai.]
