[Phoenix listens intently to all of this, with the understanding that it's hard for Edgeworth to explain his feelings about much of anything.

[For a moment he mutters incoherently to himself--reasoning this out to the best of his ability (which isn't terribly great where understanding Miles Edgeworth is concerned). And then he fixes Edgeworth with a level gaze.]
