I'm back.

[That was the coolest opening he could think of (or rather, the lamest of the coolest he decided on). It looks like the blue-suited lawyer is back to being a blue-beanied scruffy.]

That was a bit of an adventure wasn't it? I'm kind of embarrassed to remember it. How was it for anyone else?

Oh, and... [A pause. Then he clears his throat.] Aah, never mind. It really is a bad idea to let kids into something like this. But I guess Father's Day will be a little lonely from now on.

[to Maya, Mia, locked separately]
I think I owe you an explanation. Got some time for lunch?

[to Edgeworth, in the evening]
Do you have some time? I'll pay for tea, or coffee, or whatever you drink.

I don't remember anything about it.

[But more importantly:] What's Father's Day? Is it a festival?

[Video]

[aceordisgraced]

I see. Well, that's okay too, probably.

[He smiles.] It's a holiday where I come from. A kind of cute one, to show appreciation for your dad or something. It's kind of embarrassing to explain.

[hornedomen]

[He looked conflicted. He wanted to learn more, but not if it was embarrassing Phoenix.]

Do you think the library will have a book about it?

[aceordisgraced]

Sure it will! And I think it'll have more accurate information that I would.

But let's see. Father's Day is always on a Sunday. The third Sunday in June. I don't know where it originated from, though.

[hornedomen]

[Ico looked around for something to write this valuable information on.]

When I get back home, I'll celebrate Father's Day with the Elder. Is there another day for mothers?

[aceordisgraced]

There certainly is! Mother's Day is also on a Sunday. It's the second Sunday of May.

[hornedomen]

[He wrote the information by using a black quill.]

I think my parents will like this.

[Frankly:] Why will Father's Day be lonely? Did someone leave?

[aceordisgraced]

I think they will. I'm glad this is something I was able to teach you about.

[Ico is straightforward. He smiles a little.] I had a daughter here, she just went home a few days ago.

[hornedomen]

Will she be okay? Do you know?

[aceordisgraced]

... At home? Yeah, she'll be fine at home. She's got people to look out for her.

[If she went home but he's not going to dwell on that out loud.]

[hornedomen]

I'm glad.

Father's Day won't happen for a while. If we're still here, could I celebrate it with you?

[He did not want Phoenix to be lonely on that day.]

[aceordisgraced]

[That was an unexpected, but pleasantly surprising proposal.]

Could you? [He grins.] Of course! I'll keep the day open, and if you're not busy we can go hang out. [They aren't exactly father and son at all, but Nick isn't one to say no to friendly outings. (Besides, kids like Ico might need a day like that too.)]
