OH EDGEY YOU DORK.

[agreatandnoblethief]

[At first, Kay does not notice the strange man in the trench coat when she walks into the shop - because she has noticed a certain Jammin' Ninja product on display.]

Oh boy, the Jammin' Ninja's Badger Boogie Snowglobe is out finally! I've been dying to get my hands on one of these! [And she walks right up to the glass case where it is on display in the shop and starts gawking at it.]

Yes, yes he is.

[truthsnomiracle]

[The grey-eyed man glances over as Kay speaks, then immediately looks away upon recognizing her, though not quickly enough to make it impossible to notice the "oh crap" in his eyes. Still, he tries to keep his nerves calm and his wits about him as he takes a recently-issued action figure of the Steel Samurai himself from the shelf and scrutinizes it as best he can through the packaging, paying particularly close attention to the joints.]

HE'S NEVER GONNA LIVE THIS DOWN OK?

[agreatandnoblethief]

[Kay, meanwhile, is standing there with her nose plastered to the glass. After a few seconds of staring at this wonderful object, though, she removes her face from the glass case and grins]

Gosh, look at all the gold painting at the bottom! It's so pretty!

Hmm.....you know, instead of just paying the whole 70 bucks for the snowglobe, I should break into the store at night and steal it away!

[DID THAT GET YOUR ATTENTION EDGEY?]

HEY, YOU ASKED FOR CUTE THINGS.

[truthsnomiracle]

[Yes, yes it does -- but Edgeworth's not going to risk speaking up. Fortunately, though, he shouldn't need to; a glare should say enough.

In fact, probably more than he means to.]

AND YOU ARE GRANTING MY WISHES SPLENDIDLY SWEETIE. 1/3

[agreatandnoblethief]

[And while Kay is about to go to the counter to ask for one of these snowglobes, she spots some strange man glaring at her. What the...?!]

Hey, what gives?

2/3

[agreatandnoblethief]

[Wait a minute, that glare! She's seen it before. It looks a little bit like...

Come to think about it, the eyes and hair colour the same, even though the hair is slicked back and he's not wearing his signature white ruffly thing!

She cannot believe it...]

3/3

[agreatandnoblethief]

[And, in a very loud voice, probably one that the whole shop can hear..]

M-Mr. Edgeworth! Wow, what are you doing here?!

[Sorry, stand-in!Daddy! The jig is up!]

Glad to be of service!

[truthsnomiracle]

Nngyaaah?!

[And here is an Edgeworth fumbling not to drop the merchandise in his hands as he recoils in shock.]

I-I -- keep it down, Kay! (How in the world could she tell?!)

[agreatandnoblethief]

So it really is you! What have you done to yourself? You're almost unrecognizable!

[In fact, you look so weird and un-Edgeworth-like that she bursts into fits of giggles. Sorry, Edgey.]

[truthsnomiracle]

[Edgeworth puts the action figure back, storms over to the thief who doesn't do anything, then hisses in response:]

That's the point, Kay.

[agreatandnoblethief]

But you don't have your cravat on! We can't have that! It's like like.....Gummy without his trenchcoat. Or Ms. Von Karma without her whip!

Or Santa Claus without his beard!

[truthsnomiracle]

[Edgeworth's mouth tics slightly even as he crosses his arms and begins drumming his finger on his arm. He continues to keep his own voice down, with a strong insistent undertone to it.]

And yet, could I possibly go unrecognized if I were wearing it?! One would think that you of all people would recognize an attempt to go undercover!

[You know, being a thief and ninja fangirl and all.]

[agreatandnoblethief]

Gee, Mr. Edgeworth. Are you trying to become a great thief too? [TROLOLOLOLOLOL]

1/2

[truthsnomiracle]

OBJECTION! My only interests here are entirely legal!

[truthsnomiracle]

[...aaand then Edgeworth realizes too late that Kay just provoked him into giving himself away more.]

Gkk... nrrrrgh...

[And will point towards the exit before growling:]

We will continue this conversation in a less public location. Do I make myself clear?!

[agreatandnoblethief]

O-of course! Sheesh....I was only kidding! [She'll follow him anyway. What's the big deeeeaaaal, Daaaaaad?

Then again, he seems quite fond of the Steel Samurai...hmmm....]

[truthsnomiracle]

[And Edgeworth will lead the way out the door of the store, out the nearest exit of the mall, and into a cul-de-sac in the building's design which holds of the mall's emergency generators. He ultimately stops behind said generator and fumes at Kay.]

In the future, I would appreciate being afforded the dignity of being allowed to retain my anonymity when shopping in embarrassing places!

[agreatandnoblethief]

A-all right! You don't have to yell about it. [GEEZ.]

[truthsnomiracle]

Kay, one aspect of this disguise takes days to prepare -- [meaning the stubble, of course; have you ever seen Edgeworth with a 5 o'clock shadow, after all?] -- to the point that I must plan my schedule around such excursions as this! I don't appreciate having such carefully-laid plans disrupted!

[agreatandnoblethief]

Huh?

[And then, an amused grin forms on her lips. She starts to whisper.]....Mr. Edgeworth, are you saying that you didn't bother shaving for the past few days and donned the weird getup just so you could go and buy some Steel Samurai stuff? [Kay's about to laugh again but she places her hand in front of her mouth to stop herself so that she doesn't rile Edgeworth up even more.

Still, she can't help but let a loud snort escape.]

[truthsnomiracle]

[Less further anger, more acting like a cat caught falling due to a miscalculation.]

W-well, yes -- is that so wrong?!

[agreatandnoblethief]

Well.....no, although I personally think the Jammin' Ninja is way cooler.

Still, why don't you just go into the shop normally like everyone else?

......Unless you're trying to practice your special thieving techniques? [She's kidding of course but whether or not Edgeworth realises that...]

[truthsnomiracle]

Nothing of the sort! [It's a good thing he at least remembers the context of Byrne, Kay, or his reaction would have been worse.] I merely wish to prevent my personal life from unduly intruding on my professional life!

[agreatandnoblethief]

So basically you're saying you don't want anyone to find out that you buy Steel Samurai toys, right? [Come to think of it, Kay wouldn't put it past Mr. Edgeworth to do something like that.]

Keywords.

[truthsnomiracle]

......... [SIGH.]

Essentially, yes.
