Good day. My name is Miles Edgeworth; I am a security prosecutor in Tranquility.

[This is...relatively similar to how he typically starts out his transmissions…except not quite. Indeed, there are a few differences from the norm. First, his manner is slightly unfocused. Second, it's video, and third, he has a friendly-looking shiba inu plopped firmly down on his lap.]

This is Pess. Pess is my dog. I know you don't like me, but Pess is...

[A slight confused pause, then he continues.]

Pess is completely, completely off-limits. If anyone thinks about harming her, I will - "return the blow with a strength twenty times your own!" [That has the air of quoting something, and his self-satisfied nod seems to confirm this.] You may also have time with Pess, if you are a decent sort.

Erm.

Oh, yes. Did the buddy system work well? I'll take notes...I need paper. [He casts about for a piece of paper; Pess wriggles around in his lap and jumps up to bite his chin and Edgeworth accidentally turns off the feed with his elbow.]

[jurisimpudent]

Pess might.

[He makes a face down at her; her face isn't framed by the camera, but her tail is, and it's wagging emphatically.]

She thinks herself large. But what's important is, erm, safety, et cetera. If that exists, then...all is well.

[wolfinthesnow]

I would not hurt your dog purposely.

[jurisimpudent]

I, um - [Surprise shows in his face.] No, I didn't...I didn't mean to imply that. No, although we hardly...You're honorable. I know perfectly well that you are honorable, and would never do such a thing. I just didn't know if your wolf would understand.

[wolfinthesnow]

He will. Shaggydog may not. Keep Pess close. She seems like a loyal companion.

[jurisimpudent]

...Right. Apologies; which one is Shaggy Dog? It's a touch embarrassing, I will confess, not being able to identify, but I've only had any sort of extended contact with Summer.

[wolfinthesnow]

He is Rickon's companion, he has a darker look than Summer, but is near large as Ghost.

[jurisimpudent]

Ghost is yours?

[And - ah hah, this is wisdom born of deep intellect and stunning deductive reasoning, that's what this is. Edgeworth picks up a deeply self-satisfied look at his leap of intelligence. This is why he will become a prosecutor of the greatest skill; this is why criminals will fear him; this mind is what he will use to change the world.]

The name comes from his color.

[wolfinthesnow]

[Very good.]

Aye, it does.

[jurisimpudent]

[Yeah. Yeah, logic.]

Where did you get him?

[wolfinthesnow]

His mother was dead when we found him.

[jurisimpudent]

...Oh. I'm sorry.
