Edgeworth observed the detective sitting in front of him. A white lab coat covered most of the top half of the outfit but he could see cropped black pants matched with what looked like a purple waistcoat on a collared black top. The purple was not quite gaudy but not quite tasteful enough. The detective didn't appear nervous about meeting with one of America's top prosecutors and sat lazily in the plush chair opposite Edgeworth. An air of arrogant confidence exuded from them. Edgeworth fought the urge to roll his eyes at the sight but could not help raising an eyebrow. He cleared his throat.

"So, please remind me again why a famous rockstar such as yourself would want to return to detective work?" The detective's hands could not stop moving but Edgeworth was sure it wasn't from nerves – just the habit of needing to be doing something. At the moment they were tapping on the armrest of the chair, some unknown rhythm with an accented beat, while the detective was listening to Edgeworth's question.

"Because as much as my music rocks, science is where my heart truly sings. So, I thought, why not do both, ja?" Edgeworth's urge to raise his eyebrow again was very strong. "The Chief of Police was happy for me to come back, so I don't see why you should object, Herr Edgeworth?" A confident smile appeared on the detective's face, but Edgeworth could not give the detective the satisfaction of returning it.

"I have no objections to your return and your detective work, I simply wanted to hear your reasoning for coming back. Before you became famous, I do recall a couple of cases where your work was… helpful in revealing the truth." Edgeworth also didn't want to give the detective an ego boost but he knew that this detective's work on only a couple of cases had been crucial in convicting the correct guilty party. Then the detective had gone abroad to pursue a career in music and after 7 years, here they were. "So, I've given some thought as to who you'd be most useful to as a detective. Luckily, there was an available position with the prosecutor I had in mind." It was Edgeworth's turn to smile. "I don't think you've met yet so," Edgeworth stood up from his desk and motioned the detective to do the same, "Come with me."

Together they walked down the hall before stopping at an unmarked door. Edgeworth knocked.

"Come in." The voice was clear but had a bored (or was it grumpy?) tone to it. The detective, although appearing confident, suddenly was unsure of what this prosecutor would be like. It was no matter, they would win over the prosecutor's heart with their own charm and appeal.

"You really need to put your name plague on the door." Edgeworth said as he led the detective into the office. The prosecutor stood up, clearly not in the best of moods and eyed the detective. The detective observed them in return. Chocolate brown pants with a matching collared shirt, covered by a forest green jacket. The prosecutor seemed to be snacking on some kind of chocolate snack that made a satisfying crunch as they were being eaten.

"I didn't think you two had met before." Pointing to the detective he said,

"Prosecutor Gavin. This is your assigned detective, Ema Skye." Gavin just stared at Ema.

"Not the famous Ema Skye? The rockstar?"

"Ah, so you have heard of me. Sorry, I don't give autographs during work hours." She flashed him a winning smile but Gavin only huffed.

"I don't need your autograph, Detective. I don't make a habit of melting at a famous person's feet like most people. I'm sure if I put the effort in, I could be a famous rockstar if I wanted to be." Ema looked mildly shocked. "I'm here to find the truth and if I have to use your glamorous rockstar detective skills to do so, then so be it." Ema smirked at him.

"Oh, Herr Prosecutor. You'd have to be a lot more charming to become a rockstar." Her face became serious as she studied his face. "But where my detective work is concerned, nothing else comes first. Not even my beautiful melodies. I don't know about you but, my skills are nothing short of amazing. At the very least, extremely helpful. I think you will find I am very thorough and can get you the information you need for every case you take on." Gavin was slightly taken aback at this sudden change of demeanour and Ema's words seemed to have satisfied him, for the moment.

"Fine. Well, I already have a case that needs immediate attention and your assistance." He handed her a file as he gathered some more papers of his desk. "If that's all you wanted to talk to me about, Mr. Edgeworth?"

"I'll leave Detective Skye in your capable hands, Mr. Gavin." Ema gave Edgeworth a confident smile which Edgeworth returned. They were going to make an interesting pair.

"Herr Prosecutor," Edgeworth heard Ema say as he started to leave the room, "I know my detective work takes absolute priority, but I should let you know something."

"You're not about to bail on me for some screaming fans are you?" Ema laughed and Edgeworth, with his back to the two of them, couldn't help but smile.

"Nein. I just wanted to let you know that I do tend to sing while I do my work. That's not a problem, is it?" And she started to hum a tune that was familiar to Edgeworth's ears. He turned around. Gavin looked ready to kill Ema as she was humming away while he was trying to find something in the office.

"That's your hit song "Me, You and Luminol", isn't it, Detective?" She practically beamed as she nodded and continued humming. He smirked at Gavin's incredulous glare at him. "Anyway, I was just leaving now. Good luck with the case, Gavin."

Klavier Gavin could only glare as Edgeworth innocently walked out of his office while Detective Ema Skye had now gone from loudly humming her song to belting out the lyrics in a voice that Klavier could not deny was powerful.

He could tell this was going to the be the start of an annoying partnership.
