[There's more detail on the initial motivations of the meeting than Edgeworth had been willing to give, enough that Taylor almost considers stopping Snape partway through. It's a further context she hadn't needed for investigation of the specific instance, but she lets it pass, recorded with the rest on her comms device set in the middle of the desk between them. She'd been trying to avoid it, but she's going to have to talk to Sirius about this, if only to try and prevent anything resembling a repeat.

There are other, small parts of Snape's account that don't match up, don't fit into what Edgeworth had told her - and Edgeworth's account hadn't exactly been glowing in regard to himself anyway. He had a history of belittling himself, villainising himself over the slightest mistake, and it made her protective, willing to fight his corner even if he wasn't willing to. But this is still fact collecting, gathering data for assessment, and if she has any reaction to Snape's word then it doesn't show in her expression, in the notes she types into an additional device as he speaks.

There's a lapse of silence after he finishes, where she scrolls back through the transcript, types a couple more notes, then looks up at him again.]

Were you aware that Edgeworth had any abilities above average human before meeting him? Can you elaborate on the nature of the second spell you used?
