Edgeworth huffed, making little effort to disguise his steadily raising agitation. ā Oh, of all the ā YOU were the one who asked for my help with this! ā he sputtered, indignant, as he flourished the sheet of half-crumpled notebook paper in the air between them. On it was scrawled Larry Butzās handwriting, barely legible now through all the distinct marks of red pen slashed across its contents. Editing marks on a love letter to the very latest in the long list of his childhood friendās infatuations ( a letter that Edgeworth, if he were being honest, doubted Larry would ever follow through with sending. )
Ā Ā ā It is no fault of mine that you couldnāt be bothered not to sleep through your high school English classes, Larry! Now, do you want my input, or not? ā
I know I asked for your help!! You really are the smartest guy I know, but you donāt have to get all high and mighty with me, Edgey!!! I have a heart, and feelings, and youāre taking out all my lovey-dovey poetry!
Larry is frustrated, of course: his love letter is nearly unreadable now that itās been marked up with so much red pen. To his eyes, itās mostly a sea of angry red marks scarring his genuine feelings...even though everything is terribly misspelled and grammatically nonsensical. Larry rakes his hand through his hair and blows out a huge sigh.
I...yeah, I mean, I want your help, Edgey! All the girls go crazy over you. But you could be a little nicer, dude.
