{ ★ } KLAVIER GAVIN.

    THERE’S THE HANGING silence in the air when she speaks, and where he’s supposed to fill it, but he pauses just to ponder. She’s not just a fan, no. She knows him. And she knows him in a way he would have never expected. He’s never been in a fiasco in the music industry; he’s kept his reputation, like his criminal record, clean. It can only mean she’s talking about Prosecutor Gavin, of the courtroom. But he’s never met a Nick. And he’s never met her. Only then does he realize that he’s missed his cue. That’s embarrassing. He’s a conversationalist of high caliber.

    ◤ “You’re not? That’s not a compliment I hear everyday. Forgive me, Fräulein, but I’d like your name so I can recall exactly what we’re talking about here. I’ve been in quite a few fiascos,” he says. “Ah. I forgot my manners. My name is Klavier Gavin. It’s nice to meet you.” He extends a hand for a shake. It’s only formal. ◢

     He shouldn't know her, she parted long before Nick’s career had plummeted but when it did, she was around. Whether in writing or in visits, sometimes dragging him and Trucy away from life and up to Kurain for a weekend, she was involved. The name Klavier Gavin had tasted bitter on her tongue for long. Famous rock god and the man who had Nick disbarred on false evidence. Hot-headed as she was, of course her first method had been to blame him and even when she calmed down, she had viewed him with resentment. It was after the trial of Vera Misham, talking to Nick and Ema in it’s wake, that the truth reached her ears and peace with the world was found. 

     “I’m Maya Fey. I’d say I’m a college of Mr. Wrights but that’s both too formal and not quite accurate.” She was his best friend and yet even more still. “I blamed you for a long time for what happened and I was wrong. I’m glad I am only meeting you now or for once I’d be placed on the stand for something I did do.” Even when she wasn’t blaming Klavier for Nick’s misfortune, Ema had talked her ear off about the annoying prosecutor she worked with but though short-sighted and pugnacious, Maya would let him color her impression of him. So she shook his hand and smiled. “Despite the circunstances, I look forward to actually getting to know you, Klavier.”

{ ★ } MIA FEY.

in her passing, the thing that had bothered Mia the most was that she had left behind a very precious loved one. her little sister…the one she only wanted to protect. and to know that someone had tried to frame her sister for the unthinkable…oh had that enraged her so. though, that time had long past now, just a memory in the grand scheme of everything.

even their reunion had been one she never dreamed of. the channeling technique was a brilliant tool, but in the end, she always knew their meetings would be brief, fleeting. it hurt her heart, made her curse the man who’d prematurely ended her life even more than she already did. though…there was no changing what had happened, so there was no use in pining for what could never be.

yet, here in the city, Mia found there to be a chance of…of remaining in the world. she had returned to her body by chance of miracle, a second chance that simply shouldn’t have been. as such, her surprise upon seeing the visage of who could only be her sister was immense. her heart skipped a beat and it was suddenly very difficult to swallow.

she seemed so grown up, though considering the years she had been gone, Mia supposed that was only to be expected. it was Maya, beaming and full of life like she always was.

a beacon of hope in this confusing world.

      “ Maya… ”

     Years and years had passed since the murder of Maya’s sister and the trial of Redd White, now convicted of homicide upon his other illegal  activities. Maya Fey was found a free woman but she was left without her sister and her power to call upon the dead did not function as a direct line. She couldn’t talk to Mia, cry in her arms, or expect her to pick up her messes as she had when they were younger. Maya had to fend for herself along side Nick and that was the only plausible option she had. So she grew up, fought through plenty of trials of her own and aided Nick through his. Twenty-seven and the head of Kurain Village, looking after Pearl and mending the bridges between their two families, it wasn’t so bad. Maya had become her own woman, strong and capable, and her training had paid  off. 

     But none of that meant that she would not be reduced to tears upon reuniting with her sister. After calling upon her in the caves at Hazakurain as her last lifeline, Maya wanted desperately to see her and in this desolate place, it seemed some wishes could still be granted.

     ”Mia!” It is a call preceding tears, choked by the emotion bubbling in Maya, and she runs to her, throws her arms around tightly, and clings as though this will be her only chance. “After all these years...  I’ve missed you so much!”

     “You know, I think Nick would find it amusing that I’m not starstruck over you.” After the Steel Samurai, Maxmillion, and all the adventures which Maya had dragged her friend and partner through, it ought to be a laugh. But thought she was the same Maya, she’d grown older, come into her own, and though they’d never officially met, had quite a different relationship with Klavier Gavin then most fans would. “I guess it’s a good thing we didn’t meet during that whole fiasco. I might have gone at you... or well, Nick probably would have probably restrained me... but now, it is nice to actually meet you.”

THIS BLOG IS BEING REVAMPED. There is still a lot of work to do but I will be returning soon! <3

“We normally discuss…. other things.” Jinx offers weakly. She knew Phoenix and Miles both trusted Maya, but she was entirely new to the girl- she didn’t want to give out too much. Even then, however, at this point she didn’t know what she could or should discuss with others when it came to her case. 

“Wasn’t this really popular a-” She stops herself from saying anything that would imply the other was old. “A few years back?”

[spiritedfey]

     Though Maya has grown in years, her youthful energy remained present and infectious. She was ever the face of change in Kurain, allowing a new look at tradition, and room for growth. She had changed so greatly over the years since she met Nick... yet in many ways, she was just the same young girl who tugged at Nick’s wrist and insisted they save the Steel Samurai. Trying to convince Jinx that this would be a good time brought her back to those days and so did she reflect a little with a smile. 

     “Back when I was seventeen? Yes, it was. It was the first case I worked alongside Nick too. It is funny the way things play out, is it not?”

[spiritedfey]

       At this point in Maya's life, it is hardly a secret that she grew up with a less than stable childhood. With her mother missing for the better part of her adolescence and her sister's murder when she was only seventeen, Maya had overcome a lot to stand where she was now. She'd have never come so far were it not for the aid of Nick, for friends and acquaintances she could lean on when she feared for her very life. If she could, she would always make an honest effort to offer relief to those who knew her strife. So was Jinx sat on her couch, the trailers streaming on her Steel Samurai season one boxset, and a bag of In and Out emptied onto the coffee table.

     "I can't believe you have never seen this with all the time you must spend with Mr. Edgeworth. Well, you are in for a treat and I for one am happy to be your guide on this adventure."

[kore-da-blog]

Miles had a lot to be thankful for in the case of Maya; most importantly, that she didn’t hold any of his previous actions above his head. He had been exceptionally jaded and self-centered during their beginnings, and even then, she still aided him even when he hadn’t asked.

If not for everything Maya had done during that trial, Miles would surely not be a free man. He would have convinced himself of his own guilt and damned himself to an unimaginable hell. But she managed to go above and beyond to help Phoenix clear him and raise the burden off his conscious. And that was something he was sure he could never fully express his own gratitude for, among other things, even all these years later.

 ”Well, this will give us plenty of time to catch up. Do you have any particular thing you’re in the mood for? After all, we’ll need to make sure that dinner is just as grand as the show.” 

It was a nice, warm feeling that settled in the pit of his chest as she tugged his hand towards the door. Maya’s cheerful spirit had a certain contagion that Miles didn’t mind one bit, and wouldn’t have any other way.

[spiritedfey]

     As much as Maya had not let go of who she was back when she was seventeen, as much as she had grown and come through since then, one thing remained constant. Her spirit, that light in her that had given the world more than even she could realize, had only grown brighter, even when several had tried to hard to diminish it or put it out. That spirit is what she gave those who she trusted, what she radiated with when she felt love in a life that had seen so much absence of it. In that way, she felt very deeply for Miles Edgeworth. For all the many things that set the two apart, they were not so different and to build a stronger bond with him felt very right. The loneliness that had to have captured him upon his fathers death and the truth of Manfred von Karma was the aching pain Maya walked with every day since her mother's disappearance, her sister's murder, and everything else. She wished that it were easier to call upon those who had passed much earlier but perhaps all she needed to do was listen and live with him, with all those around her.

     "Mr. Edgeworth--" But sentiment, it seemed so strange here. She wanted him to be aware of how much she truly cared for him, how fond of him she had grown, and how she understood, as much as anyone could, but this currently appeared a much better occasion for light hearted energy.

     "There is a new sushi bar downtown... Nick refuses to go, or at least to take me, because he keeps saying something about the health of his wallet." She understands better than before, the pout on her lips more of a playful gesture now than the stubborn upset Maya wore when she was younger. Still, the spirit medium profession doesn't see a wealth of funds, even if it was growing, and even growing into maturity, Maya remained an eager foodie.

     "Good sushi and an excellent show, it will be fantastic, Mr. Edgeworth!"

[dipendette-blog]

spiritedfey liked this for a starter!

     “Miss Fey, fancy seeing you here. Are you here to buy chocolates as well?” she would discover the spirit medium at the local Godiva Chocolatier. After all, chocolates were going on a sale and that would not be much of a surprise to see a food enthusiast jump at the opportunity.      

[spiritedfey]

     Maya tended to indulge herself as she saw fit, some noodles here, a burger there,  but she was good about limiting it... most of the time. Eating with Nick, with Pearls, and stealing a few snacks from Ema sometimes, she was good at managing and waiting moreso that she had been at seventeen. As a foodie, however, there was a slim chance she'd turn down the opportunity for discounted gourmet anything. Running into good company along the way, that was another benefit. Maya did not know Adrian Andrews well, the particulars of the cases involving limitied her ability to, but everything she knew of the woman was positive, if not a little clumsy.

     "It is good to run into you, Miss Andrews! I am here to snag some chocolate for myself, yes, but also for Nick and Pearls. How about you? How have you been?"

Hearing the bell of the door & gazing upon the new ‘customer’, a smile couldn’t help but find it’s way to his lips. There was not too much of a passage of time since he last saw the delicate features of this Kurain medium — but it had been much too long, personally, for him. 

”Hey, pretty lady.”

[spiritedfey]

     It's strange; she knows his sentence has reached it's end, that he walks free again, but she does not expect to see him like this. She and Pearls would go down during visitation hours when it was manageable, and they would enjoy his company and talk over so many different things, big and little. Maya came to see why Mia liked him, respected him as the family friend he inevitably was, and teared up a time or two more than she would admit. Since the conclusion of that trial, the grand reveal of all the sticky webs and shadows in her family, Maya came to feel at peace. She walked with a wider smile, a greater spring in her step, even to grab a small breakfast and coffee before going to meet up with Nick, and there he was.

     "It's good to see you away from the prison blues. It suits you." As did that position behind the counter as a barista. Maya wondered, of course, if he missed the court room but refrained from asking; it seemed insensitive.

     "But  you know that Mia was twice as pretty as me."  And the words are said with a little laugh, a fond smile of her sister, of simpler times.

[kore-da-blog]

Miles couldn’t help the smile that crossed his face when he saw Maya’s features light up the way they did at the tickets. He had just wanted to do something nice for her, seeing how the two of them had rarely had time to spend together these days, and he still had a lot to thank her for.

So, he figured that tickets to the new Steel Samurai stage show would suit her fancy wonderfully and give them ample time to spend together; after all, it was something they both enjoyed.

”Well, the show doesn’t start until 8, so that gives us plenty of time to grab some dinner beforehand, too, if you’d wish.”

[spiritedfey]

     For all that Maya had come through, she was aware Miles Edgeworth had handled just as much, maybe more. It was still strange to recollect how he had pursued her for a guilty verdict after her sister's murder and just how far they had come since the shadows of that time. If she had to say, she was happy someone was so actively trying to put her sister's murder behind bars... it was just that the accusations and blame had landed on her and the whole situation was a mess greater than just that one case. It had spanned nearly all of Maya's life and had surely consumed her sisters, only to think what it had done to Edgeworth too.

      She was grateful enough for everything he had done for her and Nick, the hand he had in saving her life on numerous occasions, so to be presented with a gift was something she was not certain she could express her gratitude for in any other manner than to  take his hand and give a playful tug towards the door. Maya had aged well since she was seventeen but that spirit in her never died and it ought not to.

     "Dinner sounds perfect, Mr. Edgeworth.  I've rarely had the chance to speak with you the way that Nick gets too and I doubt I will be able to sit through the stage show on an empty stomach, no matter how engrossing it is."

"The variety of people here and their backgrounds is amazing," Mia agreed. "I never know what’s going to happen when people walk in my door. I’ve heard some of the strangest stories." The former lawyer shook her head. She may have been a spirit medium but she hadn’t expected some of the things she had heard. Tornements involving manifestations of heros from ages long past? Religous pilgramages of self sacrific that turned out to be a sham?

There truly were some odd worlds out there.

"I’m looking forward to working with you too. It would have been nice if…" Mia swallowed the words. Her entire existence here was a series of would have, could have questions. She needed to keep herself firmly planted in the present. It wouldn’t do to get lost in regrets. 

"At least we’ll get to do it now." The elder Fey said with a smile. 

Mia finished up the her task, putting the vegtables on to cook. Seeing that Maya was also finished with her preparations, she passed her sister a towel to clean her hands. “Shall we open presents while things finish cooking or do you want to wait until after dinner?” Maya had always been eager to open gifts as a child, but Mia wasn’t sure if that was still the case any more. Her sister had changed in some ways, though not at all in others.

She looked forward getting to know her all over again.

[spiritedfey]

     Though she had grown so much since Mia had been around, resting easily now at twenty-seven, Maya had not lost all her childlike charm. She had accepted many responsibilities, sought change for the attitudes in Kurain, especially regarding the rule of successors and the conflict between families, as well as moved to repair the reputation that had been so harmed in the DL-6 case. She was growing up and solving problems, easing attitudes and trying to create a better life for everyone she could affect, but she would never stop looking up to her sister.

     "I would love to open presents-- but I am excited to see your reactions too!" Maya had always handmade something for Mia and their mother when they were around, from something as simple as a handwritten card or a small pot, she felt great joy in seeing her family smile. Now she had found a beautiful knit scarf and matching mittens, candles and incense and things that reminded her of home, that were all compiled in the bag she brought for Mia. Of course, as this was one tradition she did not want to break, there was also a card with a necklace she had strung inside.

    "Spending Christmas with you again, it feels just like it used to, it just feels right." Even with all that had changed over time, Maya felt safe and loved, like she had never lost so much so fast. It brought great joy, great hope, and she didn't realize she could feel so carefree again,

             foreign   stars overhead foretell tales of mayhem, unfolding maps              most   indecipherable.      she’s endeavored to assist; however, a              paucity of knowledge regarding his past aids her none. what little              was chosen to be liberated   from   steel  chains latched onto his              soul — would not be sufficient. unfortunately,   time had been his              mortal enemy; whether it be far into the future   or     earlier in the              past, he could escape what guilt   swallows him whole — and for              that reason why, he’s   abhorred   and absconded from speaking              about his life.

             locations clearly   unrecognizable contort the decent expression              pallid visage  had once  been  granted. he’s perplexed now, and              had no words to respond properly.

                      “ well — i’m from zaphias. it’s the capital. ”

             and so he begins, attempting to maintain   stability   throughout              explanations.

                      “ there’s something i have to do —                         that’s why it’s important i get back … ”

     Zaphias.For a moment or two she wondered over whether she ought to know of it but it seems not so. While her past, education and all, was more than a little unorthodox, Maya was still knowledgeable about most of the world on a basic level, had paid attention when learning language and geography... and as it was, no such place came to light as familiar as she continued to ponder. This was a most unfortunate situation, disparaging and near-hopeless on her end. With such determination coloring his words... she wished she could help him find his way, wished there was more for her to do.

     "Other than running the village and calling upon the dead, there is little more I can offer you... but perhaps, that is if you want to, you could talk about it. I am more than willing to listen as I am curious as to what is so important for you to return to."  

     Maya knew well the way people had to rush and fight for things, for fates and outcomes, as she had done, as Mia and Nick had done. Life was funny in the way people had to keep giving and striving, but it seemed all too fitting at times as well.

     "You do not have to, of course, but if you are to be stuck here for the time being, at least for tonight, maybe you would not mind the company."

"Perhaps we can combine forces and try to keep him in line," Mia joked. She fondly remembered Maya’s fun playful side, of course, but becoming the Master of Kurain seemed to have settled her somewhat. Not that it had taken all the fun out of her, but she had grown up. Mia had seen glimpses of it through Pearl’s eyes when her cousin had channeled her, but now she was able to see it much more clearly.

"No, I know what you mean. I haven’t asked him much about you either, despite knowing the two of you have been close all these years I was…gone." Mia hesitated over the last word. She knew she was dead, had accepted that fact and yet it was hard to say the word, even now.

Mia put the ham into the oven, checking the temperature, before moving to wash carrots and then slice them, getting them ready to steam. “Have you had any interesting students yet?” Mia asked. She wouldn’t name names, of course, but there were some pretty peculiar people here.

Though she didn’t know anyone who beat the flaming bird who was their deputy admin. 

     Maya giggled softly, certain the two of them could have great fun teasing Nick down the line. She enjoyed his friendship immensely now, grateful for all he had done for her and the relationship that they had built together and wholly basking in her ability to wind him up a little now and then.

     "Every student has been interesting so far. It is amazing to hear all their stories, accounts of their life. There are so many different kinds of people with all kinds of backgrounds. I had begun to see as much when I started leaving Kurain but... it's  a whole other matter here. It's amazing!" Even the strangest of stories were tied to real people, people who had suffered and overcame and grew. Maya knew that path very personally and a little too well.

     As Maya prepared the potatoes, she looked to her sister with a smile, a crinkle of her eyes, as if this was a beautiful dream that could be swept away at any moment. "I really look forward to working with you, Mia. I wish I could have done more for you when... I am just so happy to see  you again."

tahno.

 ❝  … — no, i don’t suppose you would. you know,  considering that face of yours is your only asset.  ❞

and just like that, the mood of the conversation be- comes less serious, less brooding —— and more airy, and lighthearted. it’s in this way that they usually spe- ak to each other; anything else would be unsettling, to say the very least. especially here and now, consider- ing that, just moments ago, tahno had unwittingly up- set her. it’s good to hear her joke around, to tease. it got to be a bit much on occasion, but then —— tahno wasn’t exactly the easiest to deal with himself.

( arguably, between the two of them, he was more of a handful. but that was neither here nor there. )

 ❝  well, perhaps i’ve never ‘struck' you to be that  type because you haven’t been paying close eno-  ugh attention. i’m as generous as they come.  ❞

‘generous’, says he, who sighs at the mention of the bill that he would be paying; who wrinkles his nose as he  puts an assortment of bills on the table between their  bowls, and looks up at maya with his lips pursed, once the issue of payment is dealt with. he stands.

 ❝  come on, then. we don’t have time to waste..  ❞

     She laughs for a moment, bubbly and sweet. It is these light hearted jibes that work between them, when they know they are joking, teasing, and the remarks don't dig under her skin but was over as well as the rain.

     Swiftly and excitedly does Maya stand too, tugging on her light jacket-- the lilac one with the fur trim she had eyed for months-- and sorts out her hair, ink black tumbling over her shoulders as she shoots Tahno her widest grin. It is not the sly one she gives Nick before pulling him off for burgers, nor is it the bright curve of her lips when she is convincing a barkeep to slide her a free drink or trying to waltz past security. It's the kind of smile that Mia saw when they were younger, the one that curved her lips when she embraced Nick upon their reunion. It is genuine and warm, reserved for those she loves. For family.

     Sentiment is a strange word around Tahno and she was never certain the level with which she should apply it, but right now, when he had seen real hurt, the depth of her regard for him, even for a few moments, it seemed less necessary to guard herself right now.

     "Perhaps you are-- with me. Were I anyone else, I might laugh. If this weren't such a sweet moment, I might do so anyway." Instead, she steps to his side, loops her arm around his, and beams.

     "Lead the way, captain, before I get antsy!"

{ Franziska von Karma }

              for a  moment  she’s  surprised  to  see  Maya.               she knows the woman is neither Wright’s secretary,               nor  would  she  have  any  use  for  a   prosecutor,               so  it  takes  a  moment  for  her  to  say  something.

                           ”you’re Phoenix Wright’s… friend, correct?"

              unsure of their relationship, she has to pause before               she says the word friend. another slightly awkward               pause comes after the question before she quickly adds,

                            “did you need something?”

     There is a moment in which Maya once more considers the possibility that addressing Franziska von Karma is a mistake, Mayawas little more than Nick's assistant and beyond the evidence Franziska presented in the Ini Miney case, she almost certainly also retains little knowledge of who Maya Fey really is... and why she would be of any importance to Franziska. It could almost be said that she would not hold any in the first place.

     "I'm intruding, really, but I know Mr. Edgeworth, and I suppose I kind of knew your father... I guess it is more funny than anything how our paths have kept crossing in some manner of speaking, that is. I guess I was just curious?"

     They really did not have so much to talk about but in certain regards had Franziska helped her, even if she had been antagonistic too. Maya knew sparring details of the Engarde case but enough had been said for her to understand her pivotal role. This might be gratitude too but with everything she has seen regarding Franziska von Karma, Maya is mostly uncertain.
