( Honestly, he's uncertain whether those words are reassuring or terrifying. If he will be exactly where is he needed, how much do his own actions matter? )

Perhaps there are multiple realities.

( His tone is flat; he's not really in the mood to discuss time-travel theories right now. He'd gotten the information he'd needed from Kay, but even he knows it would be rude to simply kick her out, so haltingly, he asks: )

How is your tea?

It's good. [She nods approvingly after sipping at it. Some things don't change, or have never changed, and that included Edgeworth preparing tea very well. The mention of multiple realities causes her brow to furrow.

Granted, the path to her point in time was probably not easy, especially for Edgeworth. But it was the one that ended in her, Gumshoe and Edgeworth becoming a trio of unstoppable (at least, in her mind they were unstoppable) seekers of truth. It's a little selfish, but the Edgeworth there was certainly in a much better place than when he was with von Karma.]

There are a lot of different worlds, aren't there? It's mind-boggling to think that another Kay Faraday might show up here too.

( He can't help but scoff at the mental image, but it's a welcome distraction from thinking too deeply of the perils of time-travel. )

You truly think that possible?

( A beat, and he then answers his own question: )

I suppose this place does make one feel like anything can happen.

Who knows? [She chuckles.] Maybe it hasn't happened yet. There's still a lot we don't know about this world, after all.

( His lips curl into something that might, at a stretch, be called a smile. )

Well, if that does happen, we are at least ready for the possibility.

( He takes another long sip of tea, finding that it has cooled to a more pleasant temperature by now. It's a struggle to find the words he says next, but he cannot ignore their importance. )

I... thank you for taking the time to speak with me.

[She looks up from her cup. Edgeworth's expression is a start, at least, so he gets a real smile back.]

It's no problem. You can count on the Yatagarasu for anything! Even if...time is a little crazy with us right now.

That it certainly is. I can only hope it does not get any crazier from here on out.

[Kay giggles.]

Be careful with what you wish for, Mr. Edgeworth! You might jinx it!

( He raps his knuckles sharply against the table, regardless of what it's made out of.

He's not a superstitious man but in a world like this he'll take all the good luck he can get. )

Knock on wood.

[She snorts, covering her mouth with her free hand like a proper lady.]

Whoa, I didn't think you'd actually knock on wood! [But she follows suit before sipping her tea again.] I can't believe this place is making you all superstitious!

( He has the decency to look abashed. )

I never thought I would be in a planet straight from the pages of science-fiction, but here we are.

( And to distract himself, he, too, takes another sip of his tea. )
