[ No, literally. It's a box. It looks kind of messy, though....

A box in which birds can drop messages off to the magician in question.

Do it. ]

Somewhere, your father's heart just broke.

[magicpanchira]

No, no, I don't think he'd mind! Besides, it's true. Anyways, it's not like he's got anything to worry about!

[abwehr]

If he turns up here and you've got yourself a boyfriend, he's going to skin me and Athena alive.

[magicpanchira]

How did this jump from me calling someone cute, to having a boyfriend? I'm not going to have a boyfriend any time soon, Polly, and you guys are my friends, not my babysitters. He's not going to skin anyone alive.

...

Except maybe my non existent boyfriend.

[abwehr]

I'm just thinking ahead. ... Babysitter is probably a very good description for half my job lately, he left me behind to look after you during the Shipley case after all.

[magicpanchira]

Don't worry so much. I don't have time for a boyfriend, and I definitely don't want one! Yeah, I know... I don't know why he worries so much, I think I've proven that I can take care of myself by now, you know?

[ HELLO, THE SOUL BREADWINNER FOR 7 YEARS. ]

[abwehr]

It's a father's job to worry about his daughter. He's always going to worry about you, no matter how old you get!

[magicpanchira]

I suppose so. It seems like he worries more often now, though, since he's gotten his Badge back. I'm glad to see him happier, but he really shouldn't worry as much. Neither should you, Polly~!

[abwehr]

Having his badge back means he can't be around all the time, I think he worries you'll feel abandoned while he goes to court.

It's also a lawyer's job to worry about their assistant.

[magicpanchira]

I don't know what he's going to do when I turn 18. I'm not going to stick around Los Angeles forever... you're going to have to deal with daddy acting like a basket case when I'm gone!

Polly, sometimes you worry a little too much.

[abwehr]

He'll move the office to wherever you go, you're stuck with him now, Truce.

I worry the perfect amount.

[magicpanchira]

I don't think he's going to move it to a new country! You're stuck babysitting him instead of babysitting me!

You worry just enough that soon you're going to have wrinkles on your forehead.

[abwehr]

A new count--... Where exactly are you planning on going?! I'm not dealing with your old man!

... You sound like Gavin.

[magicpanchira]

Does it matter~? I'm going to put a bunch of country names in my panties, an the one I pick out is the one I'm going to! 18th birthday, here I come! Good luck with that, Polly!

...Ja.

[abwehr]

How much money does a magician make that you can just up and leave for a different country?

... Nein.

[magicpanchira]

Enough! Especially if you save. Besides, it's not like I'm going to live there... probably!

Achtung, Polly!

[abwehr]

You have more money saved than me, don't you? [ WHAT A HORRID THOUGHT. ] I evidently chose the wrong profession.

Gesundheit.

[magicpanchira]

I sure do! You know, you still have time to come to the magic side....

Wienerschnitzel.

[abwehr]

I think I'll stick to the law for now.

... Isn't that a hot dog?

[magicpanchira]

So when are you going to be my assistant?

It sure is. It's the only other word I know in German!

[abwehr]

Let's pencil that in for Tuesday the third of never. It's a pointless dream, Truce, give up.

[magicpanchira]

I never give up on my dreams! Besides, I know you... if I was really in a pinch, I know you'd help me out!

[abwehr]

You're not in a pinch though, you've probably got an entire team of back up assistants at this point.

[magicpanchira]

I've got four people so far: Mr. Naruhodo, Eikichi, Prosecutor Gavin, and my friend, Red.

[ Yes, she's already been recruiting people in this short span of time. ]

But I didn't mean this time, Polly... you never know, at some point I may not be so lucky, you know?

[abwehr]

See, you're hardly likely to need me at all! ...

...

Mr. Naruhodo agreed to be your assistant?
