"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"
[Pess senses that Yang's mood is not what it used to be when they first met. Nonetheless, the dog relaxes in her company and lets her rub his ears. What a quiet, well-behaved dog this is.
He'll try to lick her hand and show signs of wanting to jump up and lie right in her lap. Pess doesn't care that she only has one hand to pet him with, it's the quality of the petting that counts.
...and he also doesn't seem to care that he lost his owner. Or, he probably knows Edgeworth will find him real soon. Like in the next tag.]
... [ dog, you are much bigger than Zwei, please be gentle. She'll let him, of course, if he ends up sprawled across her lap, because dogs are hard tto resist. ]
[Pess attempts to get onto Yang's lap, but so far, his efforts are proving to be futile. It's at this crucial juncture that Edgeworth finally manages to catch up, panting a little.
It's still startling to see Yang with only one arm, but today he's able to keep that inside and remain as calm as one can after finding one's wayward pet.]
There you are, Pess.
[He sighs, pausing for a moment. It looks like he had a bit of a run around the apartments looking for his dog. Then he clears his throat.]
Hello, Yang. I apologize; it looks like he was that excited to see you.
[That greeting was already a large improvement from the last time they spoke. He manages to smile, a little. But it's not a smirk, and it's a calm little smile.
Pess perks up and clambers off Yang to return to Edgeworth. Despite being a rogue of a border collie, he still scores a little pat on the head. Ugh, Edgeworth can't stay mad at his dog for long.]
[His expression becomes sadder. He knows sooner or later Pess will grow old and weak and eventually die, but he tries not to dwell on that too much and just enjoys his time with his pooch.]
No, of course not.
[And that reminds him...]
The downside of having him here, regardless of his age, is that he'll be exposed to everything we face.

It's fine, I'm used to dogs. [ And not all of them were as compact as Zwei. ]

I can imagine. How long have you had Zwei?

[ He also doubles as a weapon. ]

Then he must have been around for a long time. Pess, on the other hand, is only five years old.
[No pets allowed in the von Karma household, alas.]

Edgeworth sighs, shrugging. He manages a slight, amused smile.]
Sometimes, he's a bit too excited.
[Maybe you should learn from your dog, Edgeworth.]

[ every dog owner knows this. ]
