Oh my god Miles do you have to tell everyone about that?

[Yeah. It looks like his embarrassment was going to see no end today. Slumping down in his chair with a bit of an over-dramatic sigh as he did his best to avert his eyes to the food in front of him.]

Besides, if I didn't think of actually doing it things would be quite different for us now, right?

[At least he wasn't bringing up the other animal he brought to the court.]

[smithsonian]

[Annie's reaction is delight; if she can discuss someone else's work mishaps, it's all the better for her, really.]

How do you cross-examine a parrot? Don't they just mimic what they hear?

[Honestly, she has to know this story. Tell her everything.]

[milesedgelord]

[There were parts to this story that he wasn't going to get int at the moment, like the fact that he was the defendant in that particular case. But it was a rather amusing story to share with people. Mostly since it set president legally to cross-examine animals.]

Yes, and no. Polly the parrot did mimic what she heard, but the case he was working on he was trying to identify if her owner was the prime suspect in the case. The person he went up again was a veteran attorney, with a 40-year win streak. He suggested that Phoenix cross-examine the bird as a joke. He just took him up on the bluff.

[He laughed softly into his wine.]

You're truly amazing, Phoenix...

[objectionattorney]

[A small blush came to his cheeks and spread to his ears as he listened to Miles take that ridiculous case and make it sound like something amazing. Of course, now that he was far more experienced in the field he knew there was so much that he could have done better. But hey... At least he was able to prove Miles innocent.

He will always be grateful for that bird.]

It was nothing really. Just remembered that it had a tendency to list the perpetrator's personal information due to his bad memory. I was just lucky it had something to do with the case.

[He fidgets, looking back up to Miles.]

Besides, are you really one to praise me? You've taken on quite a few amazing cases yourself, you know. Heck, you were the one who took over my case for me when I was hospitalized, despite the fact that you're a member of the prosecution.

I still owe you for that one.

[smithsonian]

[Watching the byplay between the two of them, Annie's very close to asking if they're sure they want to do this. It's clear that they're very much taken with each other - the smiles, the blushes, the soft laughter - and she's having brief second thoughts about intruding on that kind of relationship. Still, she points at Miles as he teases Phoenix, shaking her head as she does so as if to say, 'you're teasing to make him blush' because, well. He is.

When Phoenix goes on to explain, she's actually very interested and her expression shows it.]

You guys probably have stories for days. [She settles back in her seat to watch them both.] I hope I get a chance to hear more of them.

[And perhaps not necessarily in this setting. As a lead up to other things.]

[milesedgelord]

Goodness Wright, You know that still wasn't technically legal or anything. But I'm happy to have helped. I think Franziska enjoyed trying to beat me in court as well so that was an extra win.

[He smiles softly, before turning to Annie.]

I hope we can get together and share stories more often. You'd be surprised how surreal the court system can be...

[Reaching over, he refilled his companion's wine glasses before pouring himself a new one.]

You said that you had traveled a lot, what are some of the crazier things you've experienced in your line of work?

[objectionattorney]

Well it wasn't exactly illegal either. After all, you weren't necessarily working for the L.A. Prosecutors Office at the time of the incident so you weren't technically involved with the case until I asked you to take over for me.

If anything, we could just call you the 'temporary legal representative to Wright & Co. Law Offices' at that time.

[He offered a small smile with that, gladly taking his glass and sipping at it before turning his attention to Annie.]

Ah, right. You probably have traveled around just as much as Miles had. You do have any out-of-the-country experience during your time working? Ah, and now that I think about it, I wonder how similar our two worlds even were...

[smithsonian]

[She was really just enjoying watching their banter; it was obvious why they were together.

Phoenix' question is one she'd heard quite a bit, actually - the travel question, anyway - and she nodded her head as she answered.]

Miles and I already know there are some similarities, at least when it comes to movies. [She looked at the man in question for his confirmation.] He and I were stuck in a maze and it brought back a memory or two. Other than that, the Agency doesn't work on United States soil, so all of my work experiences are out of the country.

[Her smile is genuinely pleased.] That and I did a lot of traveling before I joined, too.

[milesedgelord]

She's talking about the one with the baby, the pop star... And the muppets. We watched it as kids, with Larry I think?

[He squinted trying to remember.]

I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it.

[He chuckled.]

Best of both worlds I see. Which was your favorite country to visit in that case?

[objectionattorney]

Oh my god how can you not remember the name of The Labyrinth? That movie's a cult classic Miles!

[Not going to lie, seeing Miles trying to figure it out to no avail had offended him a bit. How could this man be such a huge nerd and yet not recognize the movie with the most infamous crotch-bulge known to man?

... Was it weird that that was that part that stood out to him the most? That and the song that took place in the middle of a M.C. Escher painting...]

I know I was talking to a guy that had a lot of similar music to our world as well about a month ago. Or, at least a lot of the same older music. I've come to realize that just as many worlds can be identical as they can be different. People can also just be taken from all sorts of different time periods. I made friends with two guys at one point who both seemed to be my age, meanwhile one grew up in the seventies while the other guy grew up in the eighties.

[Old enough to be his parents!]
