[there is a pause that has been recorded, unintentionally, followed by the sound of someone clearing his throat]

Uh. Hullo. This is Arthur Kirkland. Please leave a message. Or text. Or whatever...

[prosecutory]

...Indeed. It could have been worse.

[Can't argue with that. England could have seen the actual incident that left Edgeworth fatherless. Or...one of Edgeworth's moments as the erstwhile Demon Prosecutor.]

[unionjackoff]

[a short pause. England is considering something else]

...Was there anything else you wished to discuss?

[prosecutory]

No, I believe this is all for now. I'll contact you should anything else come to mind.

[unionjackoff]

[a stiff nod, and he rubs his eyes. he's a bit tired again... perhaps because this discussion was so exhausting. all right, he's going to bite the bullet and ask what he was debating]

Sounds good to me... Though, before you go, I wanted to ask you if you would like to get together sometime this week... For tea?

[HOLDING HIS BREATH]

[prosecutory]

For tea?

[A pause.]

I would be honored.

[unionjackoff]

[OH BOY A REAL FRIENDSHIP OUTING. England lets out a sigh before a small smile tugs at his lips]

Wonderful. Are there any days in particular when you are available?

[prosecutory]

[FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!!!]

Weekends would be preferred.

[unionjackoff]

All right. Then. See you this weekend. [FRIENDSHIP AND TEA. he's so happy!]

[prosecutory]

Likewise. [It would be an honor to have tea with you, good sir.]

[unionjackoff]

[wonderful] Goodbye for now. [when England hangs up, he sighs again, loudly this time. that was... difficult. awkward. but also intensely gratifying.

he feels they're a bit closer now. CR LEVEL UP]
