[ He shakes his head jerkily, answering Samus's question even though he doesn't look at her, his eyes still trained on her 'emergency pistol'. She's right, of course; Edgeworth still refers to concepts such as modernity and antiquity as relative to his own reality's timeline — some habits were hard to break. ]

[raisedbybirds]
