It'd be the first time I've ever not been dismissed, and circumstances have been far more extreme in the past. It would be unbelievably reckless and emotive of my own pride to pretend otherwise.

I trust your instinct about these matters but I think it'll go badly. If you think this is what should happen, I understand arguing about it incessantly won't help either.

I'll let you know how I fare.

Is there anything else that would be helpful to know?

[ He can keep the smiley, Severus isn't emotionally invested in it besides being irritated at having to make it a thing. But it's a thing. Genuinely, he doesn't want this to end badly, but also genuinely, he wholeheartedly believes it will, because that is the entirety of his experience. Severus really and truly doesn't understand why he wouldn't argue this. ]

Peter ought to get a medal for patience.

I'm sure it could be arranged.

It could go badly you know. I'm not discounting the possibility nor am I choosing the path of least resistance in an effort to mitigate all possible negative response.
But of the options at hand I do think this is the better one. Talking frankly to Tyke is going over their heads and paying her respect, while engaging Edgeworth (and Black by extension) directly would turn her against me while I don't think Edgeworth would listen, and doing nothing isn't my style.
Full disclosure, however, is that Tyke does not wholly trust me due to my being what I am and her potential denial as to what she is (mildly telepathic capability I think). But that is also a case towards being honest and direct about what's happened. I think she will be fair.

I didn't ask you because I think you'd make a willfully stupid decision. If you think it's the best choice despite being aware of my misgivings, then that's fine.
