22: [Backdated] Eros...

[samuraiprosecutor]

I was under the impression this was to be a twenty-four hour affliction.

((OOC: Backdated to about midnight on the night of Eros' 'birthday.' The virus is winding down, but it's taking a bit longer than Edgeworth planned.))

My reasons are a bit more complex than 'It's stupid.'

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

Then stop trying to play it off like it was nothing.

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

...It wasn't 'nothing.' So my telling you in exchange would hardly be fair, considering yours seems to have been.

[Locked to Edgeworth] 1/2

[attorneyatlol]

I never said it was "nothing," I...

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

...Fine. I just... I wanted to be close to someone.

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

...'Close to' someone?

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

Yeah, I... I told you it was stupid.

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

'Close' in what way?

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

You know... just... just close.

Why are you asking me this?

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

My...affliction was similar.

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

Why didn't you say anything?

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

It was foolish. I haven't felt such a compulsion in years.

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

I know what you mean. I was feeling pretty pathetic myself for a while.

But... years, Edgeworth?

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

It's so surprising? Touch is a sign of affection. I hold no affection for anyone. Why would I feel the need to touch? I don't see anything confusing about that.

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

...You don't sound very happy about it.

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

About what, Wright?

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

Not holding affection for anyone.

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

There's been no one worthy of it. It doesn't mean that I long for it, or whatever nonsense you're going to claim.

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

I wasn't going to claim anything. It was just an observation.

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

I somehow doubt you would have made the observation if it meant nothing.

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

Maybe it means something to you.

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

What, Wright? Tell me, what does it mean?

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

Why don't you ask yourself?

[Locked to Wright]

[samuraiprosecutor]

I'd like to see what kind of grasp you have on what I'm thinking. You seem so assured of it that I've grown curious.

[Locked to Edgeworth]

[attorneyatlol]

...Edgeworth, I was seriously just making an observation. Your reaction made it seem like I hit a nerve and the way you keep pressing me isn't doing much to change that assumption.
