HIS FATHER WORKED WITH LAWYERS, AND the stories he's earned tell of mixed signals. sometimes father would come home, heart bruised and the lines on his face etched prominently, but other times, his spirit seemed to be as bright as it ever could be. kiyotaka has long since decided that lawyers are like every other human, just as susceptible to the bad as he. but he is still honest, completely and wholly earnest in his assessment that they are needed to help uphold a sense of law and order in the city. the student looks up, wide eyed and earnest. posture of the rigid and narrow. attentive.
āit is wonderful to see that there's still someone here willing to UPHOLD the law.ā a clench of the fist to follow, eyes glancing upwards as if expecting ofiuco to be silently watching / silently judging the pair. āthis city is practically lawless as it stands -- how ⦠SHAMEFUL!ā

āIāve had much the same thought process, I assure you,ā he responds in agreement,Ā āBut thank you, Iāve certainly been trying my best trying to get some manner of law implantedĀ here. It hasnāt been an easy task, to say the least, but someone has to do something.ā
His gaze lingers on the various accolades the other has donned on his uniformāa sure sign of a dedicated studentāperhaps he too has devoted himself to learning the legal system...?
āTell me, have you an interest in studying law?ā
