"So, why the sudden text messages about Ema?"
Klavier looked up from his desk to see Maya smiling over at him from the doorway to his office. He breathed a sigh of relief and ushered her inside, quickly shutting the door behind her.
"Thank god you're here" Klavier smiled "I need to buy her a Christmas present but I have no idea what to get her. And I know you're good friends with her so I thought I could use your help... She's invited me to spend Christmas with her" Klavier explained when Maya raised her eyebrows questioningly at him. Maya smirked to herself but said nothing. Klavier turned around to sit down on the couch but before he could make it very far, Maya grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the door.
"Well we've got no time to lose, let's go!" Maya laughed as she practically dragged Klavier out of his own office, hardly giving him enough time to get his shoes and coat. It didn't take them long to arrive at a gift shop that would sell the types of things Maya had in mind. Klavier looked into the window and immediately frowned.
"Maya, this is a jewellery store"
"Well done, Klavier" Maya rolled her eyes before walking into the store, Klavier tailing behind her. But this 'mission' was going to be a lot harder than Maya had previously thought. Since after half an hour of walking around this store, they were still presentless. Nothing, not even the ones Maya had been convinced were perfect, was what Klavier thought he could give to Ema. He wanted his gift to her to be completely perfect- but the problem with that was that he had no idea what the 'perfect' gift for Ema would be. Maya let out an exasperated sigh as she showed Klavier yet another bracelet that she thought Ema would like. He hardly glanced at it before shaking his head. He was about to turn around to look on the shelves behind him when he saw something over Maya's shoulder that caught his eye. It was a small necklace with bright blue gems in the middle and a delicate gold chain. It was understated yet it had a beautiful elegance about it that was absolutely breathtaking- it reminded him of the first time he had seen Ema.
"That one" Klavier smiled, walking over to the necklace and picking it up "It's perfect"
"Prosecutor Gavin?" a voice sounded from behind them, causing both Klavier and Maya to turn around.
"Well, I never thought I'd see you two here" Maya smiled as she looked up to see Edgeworth and Franziska.
"We're doing some emergency Christmas shopping. And I take it you two are doing the same?" Edgeworth nodded towards the necklace in Klavier's hands.
"Yeah, we've been in here for almost an hour now! But finally Klavier has found the perfect present for his 'special someone'" Maya smiled, copying her cousin's phrase.
"So you've admitted your feelings for the Skye detective? At last" Franziska commented and instantly Klavier's cheeks went red.
"N-No, it's not like that. She just invited me over for Christmas" Klavier spluttered.
"Is that really all it is though?" Maya teased jokingly and Klavier's cheeks grew a few more shades brighter before he shuffled off towards the counter to pay for Ema's present.
"I should probably go after him before he collapses from embarrassment. See you guys around!" Maya grinned before following Klavier.
"Why are we here, exactly?" Franziska asked Edgeworth once Maya and Klavier had left the store.
"To find a present for Adrian, of course. Now we better start looking because, from the sounds of things, we could be here a while" Edgeworth smiled. Franziska found herself staring at him as he began looking along the shelves. He would really go to all this trouble just so she could find the best present she could for Adrian? Maybe that man wasn't such a fool sometimes after all.
