[ aside from his old man guilt issues (tm), and the fact that he's wearing jorts (very damaging), he's got very nasty (but faded and well-healed) scars on both his forehead and the back of the head. but as she comes closer, he's also taking the opportunity to assess what she looks like -- and the bees. ]
[well there are bees. but lili is otherwise wearing her dress which looks like it's been thoroughly washed - but is still a bit torn up. it's probably easy to see her shoulder bandages peeking out through the bite holes in her dress.]
I don't.
[she answers that pretty immediately, because she's rude]
But I'd think less of you if you didn't redeem yourself from this when you have the opportunity. Not everyone is so lucky to come back on Friday.
[and she's not bitter per se - but she does see it for the blessing that it is, given how much she misses tsurumaru.]
[ attagirl. phoenix doesn't seem bothered by the rudeness, in fact there's a bit of a faint smile. ]
I have no intention of wasting that luck. [ even without lili telling him.... but he's glad that she did. ] ... Or putting her through that again, if I can help it.
[ he saw how much it affected her. not a thing he'd care to repeat. ]
no subject
It is.
[she did get the whole story from beau, but that doesn't stop her from saying - ]
But she's only mad because she loves you. And whatever time that you get to have together now is precious, so you shouldn't waste it.
no subject
... I know. I'll make it up to her.
[ after he deals with this constant head pain. ] I have to.
no subject
You're going to.
Because you didn't mean it, but she's still hurting. So you just have to figure out how to mend those two things, right?
She has faith in you, so... I think you'll be okay.
no subject
I'll give it my all.
[ he gives lili a wan smile, though. ]
Didn't think you'd have that much faith in me.
no subject
I don't.

Did you have an adventure of your own...?
no subject
Something like that.
We encountered some illusions when we went into the clinic. We got separated, so you'll have to ask Yin Yu for a report on his end.
As for myself, I encountered an illusion of my old partner, and then was forced to relive the conditions of my death.
[which she'll try to keep pretty neutral about]
no subject
..... That can't have been very pleasant. Especially throwing your partner in your face like that.
[ he keeps it light, because he notices that. also, because of their previous conversation about kaoru. ]
Hope you gave whatever did that a good thrashing.
no subject
I stabbed once shark and punched another?
So that wasn't bad.
no subject
[ shut up, phoenix. ]
You alright, though? Want your own frozen peas?
[ he can share.... or get her her own. ]
no subject
[??????]
I'm fine - you don't need to be concerned over me. I won't hold anyone back.
no subject
[ play ace attorney, lili. ]
Did I say I was worried about that?
