( As desirable as hiding away in his room forever currently sounds, after over a week on the moon base, restlessness has hit Edgeworth hard. It is time to find answers to the questions that had been weighing heavily on his mind. Or, at least, the answer to one question in particular. )
It appears that much has changed since I was here last. ( He twitches slightly at that massive understatement, but reacquainting himself with his current situation had been troublesome, at best. ) I've kept myself abreast of recent events through the use of the network, but there is just one matter which I wish to enquire about further.
( He swallows, although his cravat obscures the nervous bobbing of his Adam's apple for the most part. Despite doing his best to keep his expression neutral, there is a decided tone of unease to his voice. )
If anyone knows anything regarding the whereabouts of my Shiba Inu, Pess, after ... my disappearance this past May, do let me know immediately.

Don't speak about her like that.

Er, sorry.
[there's a bit of a pause.]
Ah ... like what?
[once upon a time, Loki had a dog too. well, that didn't end very well for anyone.]

( -- dead, but he can't bring himself to say it. )
If you don't know anything about her whereabouts then I see no reason to discuss this matter with you further.
VIDEO.
The more of those only proves to aid you on your quest for her.

( Nevertheless, Edgeworth must admit that the boy has a point. Slowly, he withdraws his wallet from his pocket and pulls out a photo. It's of a Shiba Inu, except this one is wearing a cravat around its neck. He holds it up to the video feed. )
...Anyway. This is Pess.
VIDEO.
Yet you would want her well returned.
[Loki leans forward again to get a good look at the image.]
Ah, you're very close, aren't you?
VIDEO.
I'm responsible for her well-being.
