"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

[There's another deep breath, another nod]

I understand, Doctor. If possible, though, I would like to save that discussion for our next session. I...

[He swallows a lump in his throat, and straightens up]

I have much to think about.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Of course, Miles, of course. Please, take as much time as you need to cognitively process this circumstance.

[Chilton rose to his feet, his palms exposed and spread apart.]

As long as you need only a week. I wouldn't want too long a gap between our preliminary and the next session, after all.

[takethestairs]

I was thinking the same thing, actually.

[And Edgeworth takes this opportunity to stand up, stretching his back automatically. God, he's stiff. Is that chair made of padded granite or something?]

When is your next opening, Doctor?

[slightlyoffchilt]

How do Wednesdays look to you? Not too hazardous, I hope.

[Chilton observed Edgeworth's stretching, keeping his own smile subtle and subdued. Always paid to have that little trick.]

We could do something in the afternoon.

[takethestairs]

I'll have to doublecheck my schedule, but it should be fine. On the off chance that I can't make it in the afternoon, though, would it be possible to see you in the evening? Just in case.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Evening -- ah, evening. I am sure I can manage that circumstance, yes. [Raina might not be pleased, but she could understand the quells and demands of work.] After all, accommodation is a priority.
