Good day. This is Miles Edgeworth.

I cannot accommodate you at the moment, but please leave a message and I will respond as soon as possible.

[he knows the gesture of surrender and doesn't even do anything super-smug like jab that sword toward Edgeworth's chin in threat. Cao Pi simply lowers it and straightens up from his attack stance]

Had enough, I take it.

[Edgeworth's lips slowly curl into a smirk as he gets up and retrieves his saber, holding it at his side. That was...well, fun is one way of putting it. But more importantly, he learned quite a bit.]

For now. I concede this match.

[Cao Pi nods once in acceptance and gives the twin blades a little twirl around his wrists before sheathing them]

I meant what I said. I am not in the habit of bestowing pointless flattery on the undeserving. I should be interested to make this a regular exercise.

[Edgeworth sheathes his own saber as well, his smirk ebbing away into a calmer, more gracious smile.

Then he bows.]

I am honored, Lord Cao. I look forward to our future matches.

Tell me, Master Edgeworth. What is your opinion on tea?

[a match like that deserves a drink afterward!]

[CAO PI, YOU JUST SAID THE MAGIC WORD. Edgeworth's smile gradually becomes wider.]

I enjoy it immensely.

[action]

[pure_havoc]

[yes good. Good.]

Then, perhaps you would join me. I feel like cooling down with a cup, and as the victor, it would only be right for me to treat.

[action]

[prosecutory]

Of course. You may find yourself treating me more often than myself treating you, however.

[Heh. He chuckles.]

[Well, then! Cao Pi turns to lead the way, knowing of a decent tea stop not far from here - it's not as homey as the ones all the way over in the pleasure district, but the tea is good]

I suppose then you'll have a goal to look forward to - saving me some money.
