You and the other spirits, is that correct?

[Edgeworth is no longer resisting and walking along with Kashuu. He hasn't been inside the dojo and is now curious.]

Yes! A lot of us used the dojo at the gym before, but we don't like it as much as the one that we had back home. So one day, Nagasone was like, let's build a new one! And a bunch of 'em handled the construction and I dealt with advertisement and property rights and stuff.

[WAVING A HAND. With Edgeworth coming along without fuss, Kashuu will move to walk in step beside him, instead.]

It's pretty nice, I think... Not as big as the one back home, but still good.

Would you be available tomorrow afternoon?

Yes, I would. You have been well, I take it?

That's...efficient.

[Well, it's true. Edgeworth is astounded at the work that went into this dojo just because a bunch of people were not satisfied with the one at the gym. And he's inwardly glad Kashuu isn't towing him along anymore.]

I imagine it would have a better view as well, since it's in the park. [It would be nice to unwind while looking out at the park.]

That's our job!

[Being efficient! ...In battle, mostly, but having a good place to practice is clearly a battle all its own.]

But you're definitely right about that. That's why we have an outside area, see? So you can train indoors or outdoors and enjoy the park! ...We made sure we're not by any of the dangerous plants, too.

[Just in case that's a concern...

But up ahead, he'll probably be able to spot the dojo roof! And the dumb sign that says Do-jo or Die-jo.]

[Edgeworth looks ahead at the dojo roof.]

["Do-jo or Die-jo"...I think I know someone from Death City who would appreciate that motto.]

Good. Some people aren't quite ready to handle dangerous plants, I'm sure.

Yeah, exactly. We're here to provide combat lessons with fists and swords, not "how to escape from super hungry plants" classes, y'know?

[An inelegant way of putting it, but True...]

A-ny-way! D'you wanna start with outdoors or indoors training?

Does meeting at 5 p.m. in the gardens sound all right? And I have, thank you. How about yourself?

[Seems legit.]

Outdoors. By the way...what's your name?

[Edgeworth also can't recall if he ever asked for this guy's name.]

Likewise. 5 p.m. is fine with me.

Oh— I'm Kashuu! Kashuu Kiyomitsu.

[Which he might recognize as That Sword That Broke When Souji Went To Ikedaya, depending on his sword buff knowledge. Kashuu's fine to just move right on, either way...]

I don't think I ever asked for yours, either.

I'm Miles Edgeworth.

[Luckily for Kashuu, Edgeworth doesn't really make it a point to read up on sword history. He just knows how to use swords.]

A pleasure...Kashuu, correct?

[And Edgeworth thinks he's pretty young - or at least looks young.

When they enter the dojo, he begins looking around, taking in the furnishings and looking for a place to change and grab a practice sword.]

Mmhm! Kashuu's fine.

[Kiyomitsu is okay too, he's not too fussy...

But the dojo itself is pretty spacious despite the relatively small area it takes up. It's designed with traditional dojos in mind, and the outdoor area is large and well-maintained. On the inside, rows of wooden swords line the walls. There seems to be an area at the front where shoes, bags and jackets are deposited, a snack and water area, and then a space in the back that Kashuu gestures toward.]

We have some spare uniforms in the closet by the swords if you wanna grab one. Changing rooms are back there!

[Edgeworth has to admit, he's impressed. And there are the wooden swords, an area for people's stuff...it has everything. He nods in approval.]

Thank you, Kashuu. [He makes for the closet and starts leafing through the uniforms for one that's his size. With that done, he ducks into a changing room.

Ooh, dis gonna be gud.]

Mm, no problem!

[While this punk's off getting dressed for BATTLE, Kashuu will mosey over to the wall to pick out his own training sword. He's already in his hakama, which he keeps at the apartment, so he's READY TO RUMBLE.

He also keeps his actual sword at his side, because of course he does.]

Wonderful. I'll see you then.

[true to his word, flynn's at the arranged meeting spot a few minutes before 5 (better a little early than a little late). he's seated on a bench and repede's seated right next to him on the ground. the pooch gives a yawn before looking at flynn questioningly as if saying 'there isn't much walking going on in this walk. why?'.

that gets a smile and bonus ear scratch from flynn.]

You'll see soon enough, I promise.

[Edgeworth, on the other hand, arrives at 5 on the dot, with Pess in tow. As they get closer to Flynn and Repede, Edgeworth unclasps Pess' leash and the border collie quickly runs the last short distance toward Flynn to greet him.]

Good afternoon, Flynn, Repede. [Well, there's nothing wrong with talking to a talking dog, is there?]

[Edgeworth emerges from the changing room all dressed up and ready to go. Notably, he didn't need to ask for Kashuu's help, which shows that Edgeworth knows how to put on a hakama...or at least, could figure it out on his own.

He walks over to the wall to pick out a practice sword of his own.]

These are well-made. [Edgeworth takes down one of the bigger swords.] I look forward to using them.

[pess gets spotted quickly enough and immediately receives a proper petting. always so friendly!! with how repede stands, he's definitely interested in the sudden company. some new doggie friend to hang with? a good reason for the lackluster walk.

as soon as edgeworth draws near, he gets a warm smile from flynn. being too cool for energetic jumping on people, repede coolly strides on over to edgeworth while flynn's occupied with pess. might as well check out the new human while the other two are busy, right?]

Good afternoon to you both, as well.

[nope, nothing wrong with it, at all! it's just what any good dog owner does.]

[Kashuu takes note! He's used to needing to help people put their pants on, which is always an experience...

The compliment only further solidifies that Edgeworth knows what's what, and Kashuu's chest puffs out a little.]

Of course! Strong wielders need good swords to match, right? But let's get started-- I'm in the mood for a good spar.

[Pess is so excited and lets Flynn pet him all over until he can go meet his fellow doge.

Meanwhile, Edgeworth nods to Repede.]

It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Flynn has spoken well of you.

[Well, it's true. He walks over to Flynn and Pess and Repede is free to tag along with him.]

[Practice sword in hand, he nods in agreement.]

Very well, then. I can spare some time for one round.

[I walked right into a sparring session. But I could use some extra practice.]

[Kashuu hops over to pick his own sword out, and then leads the way to the door again.]

You said outdoors, right? Let's go, let's go! We can take the biggest ring 'cause it's not being used right now!

[THE BIGGER THE BETTER or the more room for fancy footwork, at least. ONWARD. He'll claim the side of the ring closer to the park than the building.]

[repede gives a pleased bark as if saying 'he better have' before following along. the civil talking coupled with a lack of being super touchy right off the bat score edgeworth points with repede. owner of fellow canine approved.

flynn appears pleased by the response. getting a favorable review from repede isn't always easy.]

It seems to be a pleasure from his end, as well.
