Daphne raised her brow at the response, definitely impressed that someone in this tiny town knew how to speak the other official language.Ā āI appreciate that,ā she responded, deciding to stick to English.Ā āIām trying to get rid of my accent. Itās distracting to people when I argue in court.ā
He nodded, a smile lingering on the manās lips.Ā āOne of many languages Iām sort of okay at.ā Clyde replied, chuckling softly. Modest.Ā āYou shouldnāt. I mean oneās roots---should never have to hide that.ā
daphnefournier:
āItās okay.ā It wasnāt like Daphne could really go into the details of how she really felt about the town, nor could she talk about her reasons for being here.Ā āIām from a small town in Quebec. This place isnāt that different, itās just people stare at me for speaking French instead of people staring at others for speaking English.āĀ
āHm---thatās kind of crazy or should I say cāest dingue. Well, youāve got one less person who will raise an eyebrow if you speak French.ā
jessmorgcn:
āHey now, was that even meant to be prank? Or did you just end up with a small string of good luck and managed to be in the right place at the right time?āĀ
āA good prankster never tells---just like a magician.ā
dominique-demoriane:
āIf you canāt have a good debate with someone every once in a while whatās the point?ā
āI couldnāt have said it better myself, at least a civil one. When yelling gets involved---thatās when Iām out.ā
jasonweir:
āIt does. Thereās nothing wrong with being a realist, itās probably the most practical way to live.āĀ
āIs that what you are then?ā
daphnefournier:
āI feel like itās harder to talk people out of being idiots than dealing with them after they have done idiotic things. Iāll pass.ā Daphne was usually not this cynical and mean but she was exhausted and nothing about these people drew any sympathy from her.Ā āItās nice to meet you too, Clyde. Iām new to this town, how about you?āĀ
Clyde nodded, accepting the answer and the valid point that it showed.Ā āSort of new. Well, I hope you find some time to relax.ā He stated with a friendly smile.Ā āSo, how are you liking Red Creek?ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āYou canāt just declare something like that and expect me to say nothing. Pretty bold statement.āĀ
āRather, on the contrary---I was hoping you would react.ā
āLike branches on a tree we grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one.ā

Daphne smiled and shook her head.Ā āUnfortunately, I work for the government so I canāt bill them anything. Trust me, I would be rich if I was able to charge them for wasting my time.ā She took a sip of her coffee before closing her current file on the table. Daphne wasnāt exactly the most social person in the world but she was new and needed to meet people eventually.Ā āYou still havenāt told me who you are,ā she teased.Ā āIām Daphne.ā
āCould always try another angle---persuading them beforehand not to get the tickets. Thatās what Lawyers are good at right? Words.ā He countered, tone still light of course.Ā āIām Clyde. Itās nice to meet you, Daphne.ā
daphnefournier:
āIāve heardĀ āwife in labourā from men who arenāt even married toĀ āsome axe murderer was chasing meā. People donāt seem to realize that lying on the stand is worse than the ticket.ā Daphne had definitely heard her fair share of lame excuses but some of them just made her question whether or not these people thought she and the judge were stupid.Ā āIām worse than a cop,ā she started, a playful twinkle in her eye,Ā āIām the lawyer that tells them what to do so that they donāt get into trouble.āĀ
āYeah continuous lying is bound to bite them in the butt sooner or later. Unless theyāve got---ā Clyde started and then when she confirmed that she wasnāt a cop, rather lawyer, then he thought it was the right time to finish.Ā āA good lawyer.ā He offered a discreet smile.Ā āIām sure you can always bill them extra for your inconvenience.ā The smile changing into a somewhat playful one.
daphnefournier:
Daphne sighed.Ā āAs much as I love our legal system, sometimes I detest it for this reason. Itās not like they donāt deserve the ticket. They are just abusing the fact that they can get out of it.ā While Daphne wasnāt exactly the beacon of morality (there were many things wrong with the law), she did think it was stupid that sometimes she couldnāt even properly prosecute a speeding ticket.Ā āI hope youāre not one of those people, Mrā¦?ā
āI canāt remember the last traffic ticket I got. Guess Iām just lucky in that sense, that or I just know how to not get caught. Either way. So, whatās the craziest excuse youāve heard? Iām going to assume you arenāt a cop but feel free to correct me if Iām wrong.ā
āSo I have a little girl who just leave thingās around town and acts like she can pick them up again later. I donāt know how I gave off the impression the entire town was her bedroom floor. I think I need a drink after finding a few random lost shoes and hats around hereā
āSounds like sheās a big fan of hide and seek.ā
Daphne groaned, her eyes glued to the stack of files on the table. She was on her second cup of coffee and hadnāt even finished prepping for half of her cases tomorrow.Ā āWhy do people feel the need to fight every damn traffic ticket?āĀ
āProbably to try their luck in getting out of it. You know, most people are too stubborn to admit fault.ā
dominique-demoriane:
āThis entire conversation isnāt very realistic. One technicality didnāt destroy itā
āI beg to differ---but hey guess thatās a point of a disagreement.ā
knightbenji:
āNah, see Iām never gonna need it. Itād just be a waste of time.ā
āThereās always some lesson to learn---even for those who seem to be sore losers. No one always wins, Knight.ā
