[As soon as Mandrake mentions the name Diego Armando, Edgeworth freezes in place, his eyes wide and his lips pursed tightly together. Of all the people in this city, all the people from home that could have been dragged here, why did he have to be one of them?! The only guest that could have been worse was Hawthorne, or Yew, or, god forbid, Fawles-
No, no, he isn't going to think about that. He isn't going to lose his mind over what-ifs and hypothetical enemies. He has to focus on the present. He has to focus on reality. He needs to find out as much as he can about Armando's appearance here and what he's said. There is some hope in that regard; Mandrake hasn't recognized Edgeworth, as far as he knows, which means that Armando might have held his tongue about the Fawles case. Perhaps he and his previous self struck up a truce of some kind? He can't take that for granted, though, not until he finds out more information. So, Edgeworth clears his throat, and tries to compose himself]
And... [His voice is still strained and his face is still pale, but he pushes forward, trying his best to look cool and collected. Instead, he just appears stiff as a board] And what else has Mr. Armando done for imPorts?
[What does he do for work? And who does he potentially know?]
