[ If Fratley notices, he's polite enough not to draw attention to it. ]

Yes. You are typically on the night shift at the hospital, are you not? [ While he speaks, he sets his bag on the floor beside the couch, then after some consideration, decides to prop his spear up against an unoccupied corner (where it's less likely to get knocked over), blade facing away from the wall. ]

If I may assist you in any way, please let me know at once. [ He takes off his hat, setting it carefully on the couch, and bright blue eyes now visible under a messy fall of blond hair regard Daedalus with strange intensity. ]

It is the least I can do.

Yes, typically, although I'm told the weeks preceding Halloween can be busy, so I may be called in a bit early to cover the back half of swing shift.

[He gives a questioning look to the spear]

Ah- there's really nothing to be done, spare...keeping the place uncluttered. If there's anything we ever need picked up, Re-l and I usually just...call each other up on our way home.

I see.

[ Fratley follows the questioning gaze and tilts his head. ]

Yes?

What is that?

My spear. [ ignore the fact that it's more like a glaive and taller than Daedalus. he pulls it away from the wall and offers it to Daedalus if he wants to give it a closer look-- but he should be careful trying to hold it, as it's fairly heavy (and as far as he can tell, completely wrought of metal) ]

It is a dragon knight's weapon of choice, and the one I have the greatest experience with. I am learning to use a gun now, but I still prefer this.

[Daedalus is...unwieldy with it, to say the least, and he takes it only briefly before shaking his head and passing it back to Fratley.]

I see. Ah- Yes, I can imagine learning firearms could be a bit difficult.

Certainly, they were not made with Burmecians in mind. [ Fratley smiles wryly, propping the spear back against the wall. ]

Have you treated many people injured by firearms, Doctor Daedalus? I have been frequently cautioned about how dangerous they are, but I have little idea of the kind of damage they can cause. [ Shooting at paper targets doesn't really give him a clear idea of that. ]

[It seems a crude way to engage in hostilities, but...he's not about to say so, just...gives the spear a long curious look before looking back at Fratley with a somber not.]

Yes, I have. A bullet wound is a serious injury, with a very high rate of fatality if it hits anywhere near the chest cavity, head. Blood loss from a gun wound is always serious.

Officers of the Law typically carry non-lethal caliber shells- that is, not meant to penetrate.

[ What Edgeworth said was true enough, then. Fratley's ears splay back, delicately, and his tail stills briefly before it moves again, curling around his leg. There's a small leather band of sorts tied around it, the leather stiff from exposure to the elements and months-- perhaps years-- of wear. ]

So I have been told. Though the use of firearms remains a method of last resort, regardless.

Yes... [A wary nod. Such a last resort that with the Proxy, he'd only armed Re-l with a grand total two FP shells.

Just in case she missed. Re-l Mayer generally didn't.]

I'm sure they've covered that, in your training?

[ He nods. ]

I am not a very good shot, I'm afraid.

For patrolling in the Darkness, we are advised to bring lethal ammunition. [ He frowns. ]

Most things that lurk the darkness- you'd want to be able to dispatch them quickly. Most people that carry out their business by night...are generally presumed to be of questionable nature, too.

However- there's something far more effective than lethal ammunition, for the monsters.

Is that so? [ Fratley tilts his head, questioningly. ] And what is that?

Concentrated rounds of artificial sunlight. Harmless to humans- but it banishes the creatures of darkness, as if it were day.

...It will probably be some time before ammunition like that is readily accessible to the police force.
