prosecutory | all-purpose overflow log

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth takes his water bottle back and sips at it.]

Thank you.

[He watches Merlin begin to grow a vine, and tomatoes begin popping onto it, growing at a quick pace. Edgeworth can't help but gasp when he sees how Merlin looks after the tomatoes were sufficiently ripe enough.]

Are you all right? [Instinctively he offers his own bottle.]

[Ohh! Merlin and Edgeworth are talking...and there's magic! Oh man, Ema's attention is completely focused on the spell, chewing her fingertips in anticipation!]

It's nothing.

[ Well, really it is. It's something fresh, it's food compared to starving to death. He ends up having to close his eyes after though, sinking down a bit as he crosses his arms over his chest. ]

Don't worry about it, just fill yourselves up while you have the chance.

[ He does crack an eye open to glance at Ema though, amused that she's just sitting there watching the whole thing like it's the best thing since life itself. ]

Before it ends up as rotten as this place, anyway.

Thank you, Merlin.

[Edgeworth reaches out to pluck a tomato from the plant, and passes that to Ema. A second tomato is handed to Merlin, and only then does Edgeworth finally take one for himself, biting into the ~~vegetable~~ fruit slowly. He's tempted to wolf it down, but...no. Bad manners, and it's best that he doesn't rush it.]

Yes, thank you!

[Ema takes it and goes into her bag for a small knife, cutting a few slivers out and eating them off the end of the blade. It makes her feel cool, don't you dare judge her.]

That's pretty amazing.

[ Honestly he's more concerned that Ema is putting a knife that sharp so close to her mouth, he even looks towards Edgeworth as if to ask is this even normal? (is anything normal in Edgeworth and Ema's world? probably not). ]

Don't mention it. [ He shifts to lean back again, not eating just yet as he rolls his tomato over in his hands. ] I can't keep doing it though, the ground he isn't the right condition and the entire area feels like it has a block on it.

This should be enough for now.

[He nods toward Merlin; well, it can't be helped if this is all they can have for now. Then Edgeworth just watches Ema eat off the blade of the knife. He won't judge, but...he turns toward her.]

Be careful with that knife, Ema.

[Whoa, what a lucky break, she was able to have a knife with her.]

[Ema gives the two of them an exasperated look, the kind only a teenage girl can give and swallows some tomato.]

It's just my Swiss army knife. Not sharp, don't worry.

[She's careful, geez. Judging her like that for her badass pirate woodsman impression.]

You've been getting enough rest, right Merlin?

[ For the exasperated look, Merlin nudges her with his elbow, careful the knife isn't near her mouth while he does it. ]

It's still sharp enough to be problematic.

[ His head rolls to the side to look at her, and he definitely looks suspicious of where this is going. ]

Are you trying to tell me to sleep?

I agree with her.

[Edgeworth tilts his head toward Ema, and looks at Merlin. Making that water and growing those tomatoes must have been very hard work, especially since Merlin did mention that the ground was not the best place for that sort of thing.]

You've done enough for now.

I'm not trying to tell you to sleep, but I think you should.

[Settling in, she nods to Edgeworth in complete agreement.]

We'll watch out for you for a bit, so just relax.

[ It's so strange to hear Edgeworth say it, especially after he annoyed him over his dog. Instead he just draws his knees up to rest his arms there, looking up at the cracked ceiling. It isn't even complete anymore, but it's... something. ]

I feel too wound up to sleep.

[Edgeworth opens his mouth to object, but...he feels Merlin's pain. He himself doesn't feel like sleeping either.

He tries to peer outside the old house from his position.]

Then rest; perhaps you'll change your mind after a while.
