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 has hard far less contact with Payne, so all Athena will get is Edgeworth blinking at her, looking genuinely confused.

Well, to be fair, there's just so many prosecutors in the Prosecutor's Office and he has never been so good with names, right?]

Who?

[psycholawgy]

[ you're the chief prosecutor?!?!?!? ]

Prosecutor Payne...? The Rookie Killer?

[prosecutory]

I'm afraid the name isn't familiar to me.

[EDGEWORTH???

To be fair he's...not yet Chief Prosecutor though.]

[psycholawgy]

[ this actually makes her start sweating. ]

I guess it doesn't matter. But if you do get to meet him, he has this annoying shrill voice. You definitely won't forget.

[prosecutory]

[Athena might notice that while Edgeworth does take the time to think about his moves, he doesn't spend too much time and is very deliberate about it.]

I'll keep that in mind. Is he your only problem?

[psycholawgy]

Weeeeell...

[ she draws that out, unsure whether or not to tell. but in the end, she decides to say it. ]

Simon can be a bit of a bully.

[ understatement of the year. ]

[prosecutory]

...

[Edgeworth is silent for a moment when she mentions Simon. But when he speaks up again, he sounds pretty casual. Like they're talking about the weather at a coffee shop.

Close enough, since they're at a cafe.]

And what makes you consider him a bully?

[Athena had mentioned Payne having a shrill voice. Perhaps Payne enjoyed hearing the sound of his own voice?]

[psycholawgy]

[ ??? what's wrong with mentioning simon, edgey. ]

Have you talked to him?!

[ THAT ANSWERS THAT. ]

[prosecutory]

Of course I have.

[A pause.]

He doesn't strike me as a bully.

[Because you're his senpai from the future, Edgeworth.]

[psycholawgy]

He sends his hawk to attack the defense.

[ a dramatic pause. ]

In the middle of a trial.

[prosecutory]

[That makes him stop halfway through as he is reaching out for a knight.]

That's...something new. [Simon never mentioned THAT.]

[psycholawgy]

[ she arches an eyebrow and just looks at edgeworth, unimpressed. ]

Of course he wouldn't. You're his boss. [ she swallows. ] Future boss, anyway.

[prosecutory]

And what does my future self have to say about loosing hawks upon the defense?

[DD!worth, watch out. AAI!worth is on to you.]
