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.

action!
[There's a beat, and then, finally:]
... I'm sorry.
action!
[He reaches over and rubs Maya's head. It's tied up though, so he can't mess it up much.]
I was used to having her around. It would be lonely, but all things considered, it's better if she's not here.
action!
[Maya really didn't know too much about Trucy outside of the reveal. (which had taken her some time to get used to, Nick being a dad. She had to wonder, though, why Trucy didn't recognize her, if that was the case? Was she cheering Nick on because Maya wasn't there to help?]
[But these thoughts had no place here. This was about Nick] That sounds about right. When we were all underground, she was doing her best to help out... she even put on a magic show, it was great.
[Maya remembered that about her] I bet she's waiting for you back home, getting her own circus together.
[And...]
Don't forget that Mr. Edgeworth and sis and me are here too! Well, maybe you can forget Mr. Edgeworth, he's pretty stuffy... but it's not like I'm going to leave you on your own, you know.
[Her tone is a little teasing; but it's sincere. He should be able to tell that]
action!
But Trucy doesn't do circuses, she puts on her own magic shows. And since she's waiting, I can't be stuck here forever because I need to make sure she's getting home on time, too.
[But he smiles at Maya and nods, knowing her sincerity and appreciating it. He isn't alone here, even if he hasn't been completely honest to them, and it's really nice, much nicer than the one-man investigations against Kristoph.]
Yeah I know. Thanks, Maya.
action!
Isn't time weird though? Like.. the second you go back, you'll pick up right where you left off? So when we do find a way back, you'll just head through the time loops again and... bam! With Trucy, getting sawed in halfo r something. [That is probably not the way it works]
[And she'll smile back! It's genuine.] Don't forget it. It's my job to look after you, you know?
action!
It will be weird. I think what I was doing last, I was on my way to get dinner or something. It's kind of a sad thought to think I'll go back and the first thing I do will be to be hungry.
[He pats her on the head again. He appreciates you, tiny assistant thing.]
action!
It's only sad if you have no burgers. Otherwise, you and Trucy can just chow down again and you won't have to fight in any war anymore.
[Good. She'll let him ;o;]
action!
We're almost there.
action!
Good. I'm starved. [And she'll walk a little closer.]
action!
[He grins and nudges her friendlily, keeping on walking until they reach the burger place. He'll even open the door for her what a gent of a hobo.]
action!
[You know, because it's totally his fault there are no aircars. Anyway, it seems like they've fallen into easy conversation, but she tries to keep glancing over his way to gauge his reaction even as she doesn't hesitate to hop in the door before him.]
Wow, Nick, I had no idea you were such a gentleman.
action!
You can order whatever you want. Then we can sit down and I've got something to tell you.
action!
Nick, you're a lawyer, not a pianist, what are you talking about?
[Also weird: him offering to buy her food without her having to wheedle at him.] Well, okay...
action!
[He pats her head playfully and smiles.]
It's a long story.
action!
[But for the moment, she decides to let it go. He said he'd explain, didn't he? Besides, she'd originally come here for him]
What are you getting? [Her order's pretty predictable]
action!
action!
[She's a little uneasy, but she orders without ado - and sort of plainly. But considering the portions she's getting, Phoenix might not be able to finish it.]
action!
action!
If it's too much for you then I'll eat it. [Not the issue here, Maya]
action!
action!
You should get a job and stop being so lazy already. [Says the girl mooching off of him. But fine, she changes her order so his is small.]
Happy now?
action!
action!
[And she trots off without waiting for an answer.... apparently you get to carry the food, too]
action!
Enjoy.
