God, this is not the place for all these feelings. Does Edgeworth really still do that, even after he was disbarred? Phoenix has gotten a lot better at hiding it, but he had felt utterly worthless after that. Even now that he has his badge back, he's not so sure he's really 'think of me when the going gets tough' material anymore, if he ever was.

"Miles Edgeworth hasn't been subtle a day in his life. He's the only one who doesn't know it." Despite dunking on his friend, Phoenix is smiling that soft smile when he looks back at Kay. "The Yatagarasu has probably already seen this, but he's also a lot more sentimental than he likes to think."

Phoenix is a sentimental sap too, but at least he knows it. Like right now, how he feels a little like melting into goo when really he should be cracking books in the library and talking to people about releasing folks from the dungeon.
