Your Benevolence? [He glances towards the window, looking very baffled, but then he manages a sheepish wave.]

Um... Hi there! Just thought I'd drop by... if that's alright?

[divinable]

[ rayfa says nothing more and moves from the window to the door to open it. ]

Have you no friends that you have come to see me or my family?

[ it's... good to see you too, phoenix. ]

[bewrightback]

[He looks down at her as she opens the door, and quickly gets defensive.]

H-hold it! Of course I have friends. Plenty of friends! You just... happen to be one of them!

[divinable]

[ she looks completely disturbed. ]

I— What— [ what!! ] I do not know anything about you!

[bewrightback]

Hey, you have to know a few things about me by now! [I won't put my hopes in my real name being one of them, though.]

Right?

[divinable]

What is your full name? When is your birthday? What is your favourite colour?

[ she sits down on the couch, grabbing a throw pillow to hug. and at this point, she should probably offer phoenix a chair, but she doesn't. ]

These are things "a friend" must know. And I do not believe you know a lot about myself, either.

[bewrightback]

...I guess we haven't really covered that much.

[He does give a resigned nod and steps into the house, just awkwardly standing near the couch while Rayfa hugs her body throw pillow.]

Alright, well if those are the things that a friend should know, then let me lend a hand! My full name really is Phoenix Wright... my birthday is the first of April, and my favorite color would be blue! [Pink comes alarmingly close, though.]

[divinable]

Ah! Then you will have your birthday soon!

[ she seems legitimately concerned. ]

You will be so old! Forty, was it?

[bewrightback]

...Right, the calendar is going to match up pretty soon, isn't it?

But wait, hold it! I'm not nearly that old! I'm only 35, and I'll be turning 36 on my own birthday.

[divinable]

You are older than you look.

[ she has to make fun of him somehow! ]

Will you be holding a celebration, Barbed Head?

[bewrightback]

W-well, if that means that I look young, then... I'll settle for that!

[He deflates with a sheepish chuckle.]

I haven't really thought much about anything like that... I'm not really too gung-go about parties. But a small gathering of friends would be pretty nice...

[divinable]

A small gathering because you do not have much to invite, is that it?

[ I'M SO SORRY. ]

I do believe Trucy Wright is not here anymore. I hope Maya Fey is treating you well.

[bewrightback]

N-no! It's just because it shouldn't be a big deal...

[He frowns and nods at the rest of her statement, though.]

Your belief is correct. [And has been for almost a month.] Thanks, but you don't have to worry about me. Maya and I are getting along as well as ever! [That may involve him getting bullied a bit, but hey that's all just part of the course!]

[divinable]

At least you are assured that she is back where you are from.

[ rayfa sounds oddly serious, now. but that's because she's glad that trucy is back home and actually has a home to go back to. dhurke, on the other hand... ]

There is some good in knowing that a person has since disappeared.

[bewrightback]

R-right. [It's not hard to guess that her words may be reflecting the presence of a certain father around the town. Phoenix smiles warmly in return.]

There is! Trucy will be find. Thank you, Your Benevolence. I'm honored by your sympathy!

[divinable]

[ phoenix has now put her in an odd spot where she doesn't know what to say. should she be saying "you're welcome"? ]

S- Say what it is you wish to say! Why did you come here?

[bewrightback]

[He scratches at his head nervously.]

I just wanted to hang out.

[divinable]

[ but what do people do when they hang out!! ]

Do you know how to meditate?

[bewrightback]

I do! ...Or, well, I know how it works, but I still don't feel like I've ever gotten it down right... [He's mostly had crash courses while staying at that temple place whatever it was at Khu'rain, as well as years ago when he was dragged into taking the special course with Maya and Pearls. Not his favorite thing to practice.]

[divinable]

[ and it's not like you can teach somebody how to meditate. hm... ]

Why? Are you always preoccupied with your thoughts, Barbed Head?

[bewrightback]

Yeah... Either that or I end up dozing off.

[divinable]

Very well. I suppose I can spare some time to teach you how to meditate properly.

[bewrightback]

You will? ...Y-you don't have to put yourself through the trouble, Your Benevolence...

[divinable]

Fret not, Barbed Head. I am as charitable as I am benevolent.

[bewrightback]

Well... If you're sure! [He nervously chuckles.] Maybe we should start calling you Your Charitableness!
