There was a pregnant pause.
"U-uh... Maya, I'm not seeing things, right?" I asked, wide-eyed and quite obviously confused. I really needed to work on my poker face. I used to be so good at it, too...
Maya simply nodded, a slow smile spreading across her face. "Nope! Hi, Ms. Fox-Cooper! I'm sorry about my friend Nick here. He doesn't really know how taxis work."
I frowned, in silent argument to her claims. "Well, it's not exactly my fault that I had to ride my bike everywhere! Cars are expensive."
The fox, by now, was simply listening to our banter, a wide grin plastered on her face. I didn't really get what was so funny, but whatever floated her boat.
I cleared my throat, sheepishly. "Anyway, I apologize. I really don't know what taxis look like, I guess. Especially not here. My name's Phoenix Wright."
Maya leaned back, smile still growing. I sometimes wonder if she's secretly the Cheshire Cat. "And I'm Maya Fey!"
Carmelita nodded. "A pleasure to meet you both. So where are you two going?"
Well, there was the sticking point. I had no idea where the heck to go, now. I didn't even know where I could go! Especially since I had only gotten here minutes before. Maya looked equally as confused, and I didn't blame her. The Inspector raised an eyebrow, before seeming to realize something.
"Right, you guys are new. You already know who Omni is, correct?"
"Yes." "Nope!" Maya and I stared at one another for a moment. She... didn't know who he was?
"Okay. Phoenix, you're probably what we call a Prime. Let me explain..."
-
"...and that's what that means."
What a welcoming speech. What she was saying was, I'm some sort of half-god, and I can create things at will. Also, I technically couldn't die. Maya was caught in an odd smile-frown combo.
"Well... Nick! You can make me burgers, right? With your mind?" I nearly burst out laughing. Of course that's what her mind would instantly turn to.
"I suppose. Though, I'm not quite sure if I can summon as many as you can eat."
"Technicalities! I don't even need to st- er, borrow your wallet anymore!"
Maya was grinning like a maniac now. I wasn't really surprised. What a start to an odd adventure.
