[ She still looks a little mad, but it shifts now. In fact, she takes a deep breath to let it all out, and she doesn't want to talk about it in detail at all. Not yet, anyway. ]
It just happens. I have learnt how to defend myself as well, but if someone comes at me, my body moves on its own.
[ he quiets a little at that, realizing he might have gone a little further with that questioning than he should have, so he backs away, even slowing down a bit to grant them that physical distance too. ]
Well... Next time you find yourself in that kind of situation, give me a call, okay? I can at least try and make sure you won't get in trouble for it.
[ not that he has much weight in the royal guard, but.. he can at least try. ]
[ She notices it, though doesn't comment on it at the moment. Really, she's more surprised about this. ]
You'd do that?
[ Really, in his position, she'd do the same. It must take a lot of effort mind you, but he probably doesn't realise how much trouble she might get into. ]
Hey, you just arrived. You've got time to find your place here too! And if you were real set on helping out people in your own world, I'm sure it won't be too hard for you to find a job like that here too.
[ rip him, but this is the life he chooses to live... ]
Hmm, true true. Though I'm mostly lucky in that regard. [ The smile she gives him this time is a lot more subdued. ] My Boss came with me, so there's that. [ A beat, then: ] Though it's only been a few days and I'm already tired of cleaning the toilet for him.
Oh! No I mean... the office bathroom. [ Maybe she should have been clearer on that?? ] I mean for a while he was living there but still, that was before I knew him.
You need money to hire a cleaner, right...? But no, here I'm living with him at the moment so it isn't like I can even complain. I don't want to be kicked out.
[ He isn't going to kick her out over toilet cleaning though... ]

What kind of girl do you take me for?!
[ How is he even asking that question??? ]

Look, I wasn't gonna assume! Plenty of girls I've met could [ and have ] kicked my butt in battle!

Yeah, why not? We all gotta stick together, right? Don't worry — ol' Lancey Lance has gotcha.
no subject
Thanks. I might not have that kind of job here, but I'll definitely have your back too!
[ She flashes him a peace sign, grinning widely. ] You can count on me.
[ Except she'll definitely need it more, most likely... ]

Oh you're roommates now... Well that's just chores! I mean... he does chores too, right?
no subject
Well... I mean, I don't mind chores. Using the vacuum, dusting-- those are nothing! I'm just tired of it always being me to clean the toilet.
[ Because Edgeworth isn't doing it either!!! Matt isn't exactly the most trusted to clean given that they know he's blind. ]

That way no one's lumped with one thing all the time.
