[ good enough. mia's like, super mega smart, so she doesn't have any doubts about her sister understanding, she just doesn't know if she's explaining it clearly enough. ]
Well... to be honest with you, he is blue and he does go by the name "Wright"... but aside from that and being a huge dork, they don't have much in common. He's a big grump.
[ but she also tends to draw those types.... edgeworth, franziska, godot... well, the murder accusations draw them. or evil family. godot hasn't happened for her yet, though. ]
[Mia insists, starting to kind of. Play with the jellyfish, prodding one and kind of patting it between her hands. Maybe if she just focuses on the mental image of Phoenix in a pink sweater, she can get these jellies to tell the story.]
You should have seen Nick when I first met him... Before all the good Wright jokes.
[There is such a fond-yet-devious smile on her face that only grows when she begins to see what looks like a courtroom appear.]
[ just. putting that out there. it's very important that she understand this. that important message having been delivered, she looks curiously between mia and the jellyfish. ]
But this sounds juicy! Show me, show me!
[ do either of them know how to operate this thing? oh well ]
no subject
.... Yeah. It was the only way to save him.
[ and you can bet she didn't read the tos ]
no subject
(Of course I could expect something like this from you...)
You're sure of it... [More a confirmation than a question.]
He hasn't been any trouble, has he?
[she'll beat his ass-]
no subject
Well.... he's a bit of a handful. [ she says that fondly. ] Kinda like Nick.
[ only with more murder and maiming ] But no.... he acts like a jerk, but he's a huge softie inside. Trust me.
no subject
[It's other people she doesn't trust.]
But you don't mind if I talk to him, do you?
[Just, you know. To muscle him into being a good boy-]
no subject
[ it's always really heartening to hear. ]
Of course not! Just know that, even if he acts mean, he's a huuuuuuge softie deep down. He's just bad at expressing himself.
[ mia can handle will, though, maya is confident. ]
no subject
[Mia laughs. For now, she won't let how much this worries her show. She'll let Will have a chance. One. But a chance.]
You sure gravitate to a certain type of person, don't you?
[can't miss the opportunity to tease, tho.]
no subject
[ but she also tends to draw those types.... edgeworth, franziska, godot... well, the murder accusations draw them. or evil family. godot hasn't happened for her yet, though. ]
It must be my natural charm.
[ so modest ]
no subject
All that charisma, is it?
[She asks, reaching out to pull at her sister's cheek.]
I can always count on you to find the Wright kind of person.
no subject
[ but then she makes a face ]
Come on, sis, I get enough of that from Nick. Don't you start too!
no subject
(You know, other than that I miss him.)
[But then, Mia's eyes widen with a thought-- and she starts to look around at these jellies.]
Hey... I wonder if we can't get these things working on our terms.
no subject
[ but she misses him, too. ]
Yeah? What did you have in mind?
no subject
