A New Suit

Phoenix wandered the crowded aisles of the Suit and Coat Warehouse, the stained carpet catching his feet more than once. He disliked shopping, but Maya had recently spilled ketchup all over his only good suit, and he couldn't go into court wearing his dilapidated casual clothing. So he was searching all the menswear stores he knew of for a reasonably-priced blue suit.

Just as he was placing a $799.99 coat back on the rack, Phoenix noticed a familiar colour. He walked in the direction of a magenta coat. Quickly glancing around the store, he affirmed that this was the only coat of this colour there.

For a good five minutes, Phoenix stared at the coat. It was hanging on a rack in the back hallway, surrounded by other things people would have spent a small fortune on. He was suddenly brought out of his magenta-induced stupor by a tap on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry, sir, but that is a custom order from one of our most valued customers. If you want one like it, I could put in a word with the – "

"Oh no, th-that's not it," Phoenix said, awkwardly brushing off the small, teenage sales attendant. "But… Just for reference, how expensive is it?"

The attendant checked the tag, then, with a smile, she replied, "Our patron is paying two thousand dollars."

"I-I see…" the man replied, shakily. I guess it would make sense that he would buy something like that… he thought. Glancing at the steel wall clock, Phoenix decided it was time to get back to work.

"Um, excuse me… How many blue suit sets do you have here?"

Later that day, an intimidating, grey-haired man walked into the store.

"Do you have my new suit, Michelle?"

"Yes sir, Mr. Edgeworth! Right away!" The teenager ran to a storage hall in the back of the store, and was back within thirty seconds. As the man was inspecting the coat she brought him, the girl chattered on. "You know, Mr. Edgeworth, earlier today there was a man who seemed to be interested in this. He was just staring and staring… He had the most peculiar hair, sir; it was dark and poked out from his head like spikes… He also asked for a blue suit, but ended up leaving with our least expensive set…"

Chuckling, the man stood and picked his coat up. "Thank you, Michelle. And if you see that man again, tell him Miles says hello."

"Oh! Did you know him, sir?" the teenager asked.

"Hm… I guess you could say that…"

A/N: Omg. What is this. Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Lol, such a drabble… I don't even know where I was going with this. I did this while sleep-deprived and just kind of typed whatever. Ehehe, the title is so silly…

I'd love feedback, but this isn't really anything I care too deeply about, so I won't mind if you just pass over it.

Thanks for surviving my drabbleness~
