...

The answer to both of those questions is no. [Although to be fair, his cravat is special to some extent, in that it is one of the remnants of his von Karmic upbringing and has remained as a fashion statement he has adopted for himself.] What - or who - on earth gave you those ideas?

[centripetal]

... No? Really? [ what the hell? she sounds so... surprised. almost disappointed. wait, maybe--he had to keep it secret? it sounded so useful, it made sense.

she perks up. ] Oooh, I get it. I won't tell anyone, promise.

[ ha. ha. ha. ]

Why do you wear your cravat then, if it doesn't unlock people's secrets? [ wink, wink. ] And it was my friend, Yozora, who told me about the magical items. I'll tell her not to tell too, don't worry!

[What. No. NO. THAT'S NOT WHAT HE MEANT. HE'S NOT HIDING ANYTHING.]

No, no, my cravat really has nothing to do with exposing secrets!

[prosecutory]

[He clears his throat.] It is a fashion statement, a part of my suit. [Does he not have freedom to choose what to wear everyday?]

"Magical" items are not required in the legal profession. [That didn't stop a certain Phoenix Wright from even resorting to spirit channeling, but...psh, that's him. EDGEWORTH HAS HIS OWN WAYS.]

[centripetal]

[ no, no he doesn't. but at hearing this, there's a bit of a silence. so there wasn't any magical items? were things different in yozora's world? they had to be...

HOW STRANGE. ]

I guess there's lots of different types of lawyers out there, if that's just for fun! [ because that is certainly the weirder thing when compared to a lie-destroying cravat. ] Do you still have to pass the bar in a relay race to become one in your world? A lawyer, I mean. That's my next question.

[prosecutory]

[THAT'S NOT FOR FUN, COLETTE. At least Phoenix doesn't add magic into the equation for fun...at least the guy had enough sense to not do THAT. HOPEFULLY. But before Edgeworth could point out that it's really not for fun ESPECIALLY WHEN HE HIMSELF HAD TO USE THAT MAGATAMA...

A relay race. Passing the bar.

PASSING THE BAR IN A RELAY RACE.]

That's...no, of course not! The "bar" refers to the examination that one must take before he is admitted as a lawyer. Running a race has absolutely no bearing on one's capacity to enter the legal profession.

[centripetal]

[ ......

hear the sound of broken dreams, edgeworth. for--guess what--you've just shattered this one's. dreams, that is. ]

You mean... there's no race? [ so. sadly. ] But it sounded so fun. ... Lawyers really are different in your world.

[ how is she supposed to become a lawyer for yozora if there's no race involved? she's been practising so hard! ]

[prosecutory]

[SORRY HE HAS NO IDEA HE JUST SHATTERED A GIRL'S DREAMS...oh no is she disappointed...]

No, unless you count the race against time to finish the bar examination within the given time period.

[IT'S NOT EASY BEING A LAWYER.]
