[ The video clicks on, and it's obvious enough that Cat's not particularly happy about choosing to do so, but given the reason for one of her rare appearances on the network, she thought she might as well show her face. There's a bit of a pause before she finds it in herself to actually start talking as opposed to just looking a bit grumpy and reluctant, which is of course her standard approach to everything. Doesn't matter that Cat genuinely wants to get something out of this, she just hates having to ask for help. ]

All right, seeing as for once we're not being fucked around by red text or demons or brain-washing or fatal illnesses and shit, might as well make the most of it, yeah? [ She peers at the feed searchingly, pursing her lips. ] Bound to be a couple of you out there who can swim, I reckon. There's a pool here - I want to learn how. Not got much use for swimming back home, s'why I never learned, but I have a chance now, so it stands to reason I could give it a go.

Any of you lot think you can teach me?

[ She's very careful not to use the word "help", already feeling weird for how much she's talking when she usually kepts to the minimum amount of words required to make a sentence. With some amount of restraint she manages to stop herself from saying she wouldn't mind a couple of offers since some of you lot were bound to be terrible teachers.

Fair warning, Cat herself would be a pretty fucking terrible student. ]

Is there anything else you required? You made a request; I thought to answer it, but you've no need of it being answered.

[ ... well fair enough ]

Guess not. [ Not that Cat sounds totally sure of herself. ] Nothing wrong with keeping your options open, though.

Fair enough. Miles Edgeworth.

[ Another Miles? At least she's not going to forget that any time soon. ]

Cat.

Surname?

... Why?

So that I do not call you by your given name.]

Don't have much of a choice, mate.

Do you altogether not have one?

Haven't given anyone my surname in over ten years, not about to start with you.

Why not?

'Cause it's irrelevant.

I don't think you can deem a name "relevant" or "irrelevant."

Don't need one where I'm from.

Oh? Then there's only a single person named "Cat" in the entirety of your homeworld?

Probably not, but I don't know any others, so what's it to me?

...What it is to you is that surnames are in that case necessary. So your statement was untrue.

And I still wouldn't give you my surname even if another Cat turned up here and now.

Fair enough, but your statement was still wrong.

Whatever you say, mate. Do I sound like I give a shit?

Perhaps you should. Speaking with accuracy is highly important.

[ ... ]

Nah, 'm good.

So you're content to be speaking falsehoods?

Yep. Never failed me so far.

Then you must have unimpressive goals.
