001 Text | UN: M.Edgeworth | A public apology.

[milesedgelord]

Good morning all,

Due to the technical difficulties that had taken place over the network yesterday, some of you may have received some rather...questionable photos from me. Please accept my sincere apology for sending them, It was sent in error, and wasn't meant to be interpreted as sexual in nature. If you have received such a text or photo from me, please kindly delete it. I am not the sort of man who sends unsolicited pictures to strangers.

I am aware that once something is out there on the network it is there forever.

[The way he worded that made the incriminating pictures sound far worse than they actually were.]

I can appreciate how upsetting it must have been to see them and how disappointed you must be given the consequences of my actions and the trouble I have caused.

Please be assured that I have taken all the necessary measures so that this type of mistake never happens again. I deeply regret it ever having happened at all and I am willing to do whatever it takes to correct the situation.

Thank you for your time and patience,
Sincerely,
Miles Edgeworth.

You strike me as the sort that can pull it off, though.

[milesedgelord]

It'll take some time, but I owe you my thanks. I think I've been so worried about being the type of man who he may reject that I hadn't thought of being the type of man he would want to go on a date with.

[dendarii]

Of course. I'm happy to assist. Just tell me how it goes.

[milesedgelord]

Of course. I don't think I caught your name.

[dendarii]

Ah, yes. Emperor Miles Naismith Vorkosigan, of the Barrayaran Imperium.

[milesedgelord]

[Vorkosigan? Where has he heard that before?]

Oh. An Emperor? Is there a particular way you would prefer to be addressed?

[dendarii]

[ There was that network post last month. Or maybe Edgeworth has met Byerly. ]

Miles, please. As much as I enjoy trotting out the title for introductions, it's ultimately meaningless.

[milesedgelord]

[It was definitely Byerly, with whom he had the Unfortunate luck of being set up on a blind date with.]

Alright Miles.

I can understand that. There isn't much use of titles other than to stoke the holder's ego in most cases. And we're all only refugees here.

[dendarii]

[ You poor soul. ]

Just so. It may be silly, but ... well. I still have people up there in those pods. I belong to them, whether anyone else gives a damn or not.

[milesedgelord]

There isn't anything silly about it. You are beholden to people regardless of whether they are awake or not.

Holding yourself to that is important I think. It keeps you grounded.
