another daryan. somehow it ended up as a short haired daryan
"Oh, I forgot about that," though it seemed almost worth of a reprimand to overlook such an important factor. Especially working in a building that was basically the hub of -legal standings-.
"Well, I guess that's why there's a specific hiring department! I'm sure they're well aware of those things, but I suppose I could always send a note of question. I do know someone friendly there who wouldn't mind letting me know. Just out of curiosity~"
It was just smart practice to have understanding of the various work departments. Plus, Daedra found it was easy enough to find 'your person' within all of them~ Generally a little bit of honest cheer and interest was all it took.
In a similar vein, Daedra immediately flushed as she giggled from Klavier's compliment.
"Oh, stop it, Mr. Gavin," the secretary weakly fought, wagging her hand in dismissal. "Putting me with the 'Greats' of the Law World!! The things I do are no where near as important as what Mr. Edgeworth and Ms. von Karma, but it just goes to show I have to always do my very best! You have to when working with THE best~ You included, of course~"
Those like Edgeworth didn't accept half-jobs~ Everyone had to be at the top of their game, and she was sure Klavier was well-aware of that. Really... it was the only way to get anything done appropriately these days. Hard but necessary!
"I'm sure he's told you already, but always know Mr. Edgeworth knows your invaluable to the legal world. You know... maybe to remember on those extra tough days~ Besides, I think it's really special you're like... a half/half prosecutor and rock-star anyway! The rock-star part bring a lot of fun to the office!"
You can send them a note and sign it with both our names. I am curious as well!
And with his name on the note, the chances were high that there would be a response for Daedra. She seemed so excited, so determined to help out the Prosecutor's Office in whatever way, so of course Klavier wanted to help as well.
Even the best of the best need support in the background, Fräulein Daedra. When I still had my band, we were depending on all the people that worked backstage with us. Technicians, stage hands, even the girls that did our make up. Without their help, our shows wouldn't have been as successful.
Klavier was well aware of that. And he appreciated those people, that help out off stage. Just as he appreciated all the people that helped him be the prosecutor he was.
The same goes for cases in court. Without people like you, that help with paperwork and keep an eye on our appointments or Detectives, that run errands and collect evidence for us, we wouldn't be able to become 'the best'.
Of course Klavier was aware of the fact, that he - just like Edgeworth and Franziska - wasn't easy to work with. Something you just couldn't help when working with people like them. Eccentrics, one may say.
I am glad to hear that you like that rock-star side of mine! Lately I hardly get the chance to write new music. Maybe I should jam a little in my office, to get my creative juices flowing.
(bodejustice) (pretend i'm not late) Maybe the birthday boy himself forgot his birthday, but someone else remembered. Bobby greets Klavier with a hug and a kiss, then presses a small gift box into his hands. It contains a bright silver ring with a chain-patterned band that spins around the ring. "My Dearest" is engraved on the inside.
Being greeted with a hug and a kiss by Bobby is something that made every morning immediately ten times better for the prosecutor. Having someone being this affectionate with him... how could Klavier not enjoy it?
What he did not expect was to be handed a small gift box as well. Confused he looked at it, then at Bobby.
For me?
Of course for him. What a stupid question. Slowly, Klavier opened the gift box, which contained a beautiful, silver ring with a chain-patterned band. Taking the ring out of the box and turning it in his hand revealed the engraving.
Bobby...
The ring is beautiful. I love it.
And of course he couldn't let the other go without thanking him properly by wrapping his arms around Bobby's neck and stealing a passionate kiss from his lips.
"Oh, I don't know," Daedra hummed in thought. "I figured some people might be -really- into that. They'd normally never take an office job because they'd find it boring!!"
That posed its own set of issues though...
"But, I guess they might be disappointed considering it's not a.... very common occurrence. Perhaps just a minor footnote in the hiring contract would be okay as a compromise!" Daedra had to imagine those working those jobs would appreciate it for their sanity!
As Klavier prepped himself to answer the next question, Daedra immediately noticed the shift in his expression. It was small, but obvious all the same. The prosecutor was like herself, in a way. He didn't really hide himself, but she supposed that was to be expected.
One couldn't really fight to reveal the truth if they couldn't do so within themselves first...
The secretary found she was starting to regret the questioning a bit, even if it had been just mere curiosity. She sometimes forgot there was some painful memories concerning his brother. Daedra didn't know the concrete details, more just vague events. Still, she really appreciated he was still willing to answer, instead of brushing it aside. She would have accepted either option, regardless.
"Then you should just keep being the best prosecutor you can," Daedra concurred when he finished, jumping back to her excitable enthusiasm. She always found that the best way to assure someone with doubt! So long as someone had confidence--
"There's nothing wrong with sticking to one career path! You know, a lot of people told me that you don't necessarily have to work a job you dream about - just one you don't mind going to everyday," the secretary offered, raising her finger in confidant explanation. "Work is work, afterall~ I think that's true; I never intended to be a secretary, or much of anything really. Yet, currently, I think this is the best job I could hope for, given the time being!"
Oh... well, that is, of course, another way to approach the topic.
He had not thought of it. People, that could be interested in a more exciting, thrilling office job, even at the risk of being blamed for a crime themselves. Still, would it be good to promote this in their job descriptions? Klavier could imagine how the reputation of the Prosecutor's Office would drop even further.
I assume best we could do is give them a fair warning in their hiring process, ja. Maybe not something written, as this could come back and bring troubles later.
It was not that Klavier minded talking about his past. Especially when the topic did not concern the crimes his brother had committed. Aside from those, Klavier did have a very nice childhood, growing up with loving parents and a caring, older brother. The crimes of Kristoph did not at all dim the memories Klavier had.
And Daedra did not pry. Never. Although he wouldn't mind telling her the story if she wanted to know, he also appreciated her for being a decent human being (something, that surprisingly little people were as soon as they were face to face with a rockstar like him.)
He also appreciated her cheerfulness. The way she jumped back into their chat very enthusiastically, which made Klavier bounce back as well.
I would not dream of changing profession!
Even if it was not what I had planned to begin with, I still work in the field of justice - and this is what I wanted. Also, I do have lots of fun as a prosecutor. Not just do I enjoy facing off people like Herr Forehead and Herr Wright in Court, I also get to work with wonderful colleagues like Herr Edgeworth, Fräulein von Karma and you, Fräulein Daedra!
"You'd think jobs like the parking garage security or the cleaning staff would be reasonably straight forward, but not quite so," the redhead mused, but quickly amended her statement. "Perhaps it is just a trait of the Prosecutor Building itself -- though maybe they should make a note of that when people apply for work!"
Even if it was some time ago, Daedra was quite sure there was no notation or 'fine print' on her application. It just seemed like the establishment itself could be as wild and unpredictable as the things that occurred in the courtrooms. Afterall, how much trouble happened in the parking garage alone.
Still, what was there to do? Other than get through one's day the best they could. And pray you made it to the next, and hopefully not behind jail bars!
"I'm happy I can stick to my job here as well, for the time being anyway," Daedra chirped happily. "While I know I'd probably make me friends in a new position, I'd be terribly sad to not get to visit everyone on the floor as the secretary~ So, I guess I'll just say I'm happy my rent hasn't gone up to high. I can keep being the secretary for the time being!"
Klavier was right, in that such things were for the future. No sense fretting on them in the present, considering they weren't even set to happen guaranteed.
"What about you, Mr. Gavin? Have you ever considered options like that, in case thing change?" she couldn't help but ask, curiosity getting the better of her. "Or, would you choose to be a prosecutor no matter what?"
The Parking Garage Security or the Cleaning Staff... no, their jobs were everything else but quiet and comfortable. Especially not here, in the Prosecutor's Building. Too much stuff had been happening in the past, even before Klavier had worked here. But the stories had made their rounds.
I think it would be better if we would not make a note of it, ja? Otherwise it would be rather difficult to find new staff, heh.
After all, who would want to work in a place to prevent crime, where crime itself was happening even to those that are not directly involved in trials?
Oh, aber Fräulein Daedra, I hope you are aware that you can keep visiting me even if you change your profession, ja? After all, I would not want to miss out on our little chats just because you are not our beloved secretary anymore!
No, he would not allow for them to drift apart, just because of a change of profession. Yet, when Daedra asked him about his own thoughts of changing the field for a brief moment Klavier's smile faltered and his gaze turned distant.
I never thought about it, to be honest.
It was a simple confession.
I always wanted to work in the field of justice. My father had his own law firm... aber my brother decided to become a defense lawyer and take over. I wanted to be a defense lawyer too at first but he suggested that I should try for prosecutor. So that we could face each other in court.
Which they did. Just not the way Klavier had expected.
When he turned his attention back to Daedra, his gaze focusing on her again, Klavier smiled again.
Nowadays, I don't think of changing my profession at all. We do have some amazing Defense Lawyers to take over the difficult cases aber we are still lacking good Prosecutors to match them. Herr Edgeworth is working hard to rebuild the Prosecutor's Office... and I want to support him, as best as I can.
Did he forget his own birthday?
Yes.
Yes, he did.
A trip to Japan? It may not be as hot as during the summer season, but there's nevertheless a paper fan among the various envelopes with a familiar-looking rakugoka's emblem on it, and a note that reads "I may be fashionably late in welcoming you back, but allow me to make up for it by being early in wishing you a fan-tastic trip!"
Hm?
A paperfan.
And a familiar emblem on it.
Could it be...?
/Getting ready for my vacation!
Will be back at the 7th of April <3
Was he being too nice? Klavier didn't really consider himself 'nice'. He was being honest. Honest with himself, honest with others and honest with what he thought of them. He would praise people where it was due, but he would also criticize them when necessary.
Well, of course you need a certain training to get that positions, aber you know, receiving that training is also possible when you already work here. If you apply for a training in that field, and you bring the right qualifications, you can very well receive the training right here, on your work place.
She, of course, still would have to pass the tests that come with training for that position, but Klavier was quite optimistic that she would be able to pass.
But if you really consider that training you should think properly about it first, maybe watch a trial or two to get a feeling for the job.
It can be pretty harsh and mentally exhausting to watch a cruel trial. And having to focus on writing everything down, not missing important information is not to underestimate.
Klavier didn't sugar-coat the requirements, not that Daedra expected him to. That was a funny thing about the rockstar prosecutor - while his tone and mannerisms were generally of the friendly and welcoming nature, Klavier never hesitated to jump right to the full truth of things. It could be a bit jarring to someone who might not expect it of him, to simply be a 'showman' in all aspects like a stage performance. It caught Daedra off guard at first, she would admit. But, she knew better.
She knew him better and thus, knew she could trust anything he said as nothing but truthful.
"As I thought, it is a position to not take lightly," Daedra mused. Not that she thought it would be a simple thing. Even her current job title was not something to take so simply. Even if she didn't need outside education for it, there was still a lot of sensitive subjects and materials that passed her desk on the daily.
"Maybe it's something I could do research on in the future," the redhead offered to Klavier. "I enjoy my position now, but I -probably- shouldn't settle for being a secretary forever."
There was always future planning to do, retirements and all that. Plus, rent was always going up, even in her meager building.
"I suppose I'll just have to enjoy my time as the mild-mannered secretary for the time being! I can atleast say I have a lot of fun most of the time, and I don't have to worry of such somber things like directly being involved in the worse court cases. That's something!"
Klavier was not the kind of person to sugarcoat things. Especially not when it came to friends of his. Of course he would be supportive if Daedra choose to walk a new path, but he wouldn't allow her to run blindly into things. She had to know what to expect, so that she wouldn't get surprised in a bad way.
Which job ever is, with the Prosecutor's Office?
Working in Law Enforcement always was difficult. Simply because they were deciding about the life of people. One wrong decision could be fatal for an innocent being - something Klavier would never accept.
But it was good to hear that Daedra did not scratch the idea entirely just now.
Nun, if you are happy in your current position, there's nothing wrong with it. But keeping your eyes open for other opportunities in case one day being a Secretary isn't enough anymore won't hurt either.
That way she could also start getting more information about the various position without having the struggle to make a quick decision for herself.
I will enjoy the days I have with you as our Secretary as well! As much as I will be supporting your change of profession, whenever it comes, just as sad will I be if I do not get to read your reports anymore.
Aber that is for our future selves to worry about, ja?
tactful-kind-daedra
[[Lucky lucky!! Have lots of fun and enjoy yourself!!!]]
//Thank you, my dear
Only a week left until my next business trip.
Can't deny that I am excited. It has been a while since I visited Japan.
I do, ja! You really are rather talented when it comes to choosing your words and phrases.
Klavier absolutely understood what she meant. Most of the reports that he received were rather robotic indeed. Of course, in his profession being emotional when writing an overview over a case and the evidence one is not supposed to happen, but what good is it if you almost doze off because the paperwork is so boring to read?
It works like a charm, meine Liebe. I especially enjoy the balance of putting all the information into an easy to read writing. Did you ever consider becoming a reporter at court?
"You really think so?" Her cheeks quickly turned pink from his praise. Klavier did always have such nice things to say to others, but Daedra always welcomed them from the Prosecutor. "You're far too nice to me, Mr. Gavin!"
Not that she wanted him to stop~
Her expression turned curious and thoughtful when he turned to suggest her services in the courtroom. Truthfully, it had never crossed the redhead's mind. Much less see it as a possibility.
"No," she replied truthfully. "Can someone just attain that position? I always assumed you needed particular skills and training. Considering it's so very important!"
Though, Daedra would fret if she were even capable of such a job. While she was good at details and taking notes, she also knew she was far too empathetic for her own good at times. She had to imagine such a position required a person to be reasonably indifferent when listening to things during a heavy trial.

@guilty-love replied to this post:
Bravo, Fräulein Detective, bravo! I did not know you are such a flirt!
"Of course you didn't know, fop. Unlike some people, I am a professional who doesn't flirt at work."
"Besides, it's never worth flirting around you."
No flirting at work? What a shame!
I am sure there are more than enough young police officers that would be quite happy if they got a chance to flirt with a pretty Fräulein like you!
And I have to disagree, flirthing around me is always worth it.
"The fact that you think that's a shame is the reason our legal system is failing. And the fact that you think it's worth it is the other reason our legal system is failing."
"You should stop thinking, actually. It's very hurtful for me and our legal system."
Aren't you being a little bit too harsh, Fräulein Skye? There is no harm in a little bit of flirting as long as you are aware of the lines that are not supposed to be to cross.
Hurtful for you? I would never dare to hurt you or your reputation. You are a very valuable member of our legal system.
How else am I supposed to get my evidences on time if not for you and your fast way of working?
At least not in my Company, nein.
Her playful yet dramatic tone amuses him. He still remembered how timid she had been when they had first met and it made him feel quite happy to see how much she had warmed up to him.
Klavier really counted himself lucky that Lyra was taking travelling so well. He had never planned on getting a cat to begin with so when she had shown up at his doorstep he had been quite hesitant. But it really seemed like the universe had brought those two together for a reason.
I agree, ja. I was worried that she might not take the travelling well. I would have, of course, tried to find a place for her to stay. My first thought was asking you - living with you in the temple sure would have been amazing for her as well, with how big the place is and how much exploring she could have done.
And whenever Lyra would have felt the need to curl up to someone to snuggle Klavier knew that Iris wouldn't have refused her, would have given her all the love the cat desired.
Klavier did not stop Iris from taking a peak at the sleeping cat, who only twitched slightly with her ear. Yes, Lyra heard the guest that came along with her Daddy, but for now she would keep snoozing a little longer. After all, the sound of the voice and the scent where familiar, so there was no reason to be scared or on edge.
Klavier on the other hand chuckled softly when Iris asked about helping him. In the past, he would have refused, would have tried to treat her like a princess... but their time apart had made him more aware of what he really wanted. Not just spoiling her rotten but also being together with her, as a couple. As equals. And as equals, it should be naturally to work together and help each other.
Yes, you are allowed to help, mein Engel.
He opened a drawer to expose all the different kinds of tea he owned. With his brother being fond of tea and tea also being very helpful for his voice when it was sore, the collection the prosecutor owned was quite big, covering everything from fruity teas over floral teas to herbal teas.
I will set up the table. Can I leave you in charge of preparing a tea of your liking?
Ah, but of course not while he's around! By now, Iris wouldn't expect it to go any other way. A part of her, internally, jokingly wonders if Klavier would keep up that sort of song if they ever went on a shopping spree like in TV shows; where he's disappearing under bags and boxes... But-! Goodness, no. Would would she even do with so much of everything? Not to mention poor Klavier!!
...It is a funny thought, though. In imagination, if nothing else.
Her eyes soften as he speaks on Lyra, nodding quietly in agreement to just how well she'd taken to her Dad's lifestyle. Though, he immediately catches her off-guard with that last bit-! Head perking up slightly as she processed that thought.
"O-Oh! The temple, really?" She can't help but feel both deeply honored and a touch nervous. "I don't know how the acolytes would be able to focus on their training," she muses with a soft laugh, eyes drifting back to the sleeping kitty, "but... I'm sure we would've all figured something out."
In a short moment- like he could change his mind tomorrow, and give it a go- Iris has already thought of multiple ways that she could keep Lyra safe and entertained. Of course, she'd be allowed outside once or twice during the winter, while being held, to understand how terribly cold it is outside!! But she'd have the best spots to play and rest with easy access to warmth. And then, depending on Klavier would leave with them... Maybe she could get a cat harness? At the very least, letting Lyra safely experience the outdoors with less risk would be fun...
R-Right! But that's not happening right now! She turns to Klavier, thankfully in time to hear him acquiesce to her request, brown eyes lighting up in surprised joy.
"Oh...? Well, far be it from me to question why." There's a teasing lit to her voice as she steps over and... Wow. This drawer might have to be an inspiration to expand the teas they offer at Hazakura Temple! It smells so wonderful, too... "And for you? I'd be more than happy to handle it..."
Unless he plans to "steal" some of her choice. In which case, Iris would just add more water to the pot. For now, though... Her fingers carefully flip through the options, seeing what's available, and what seems the most agreeable to have today.
Klavier couldn't help but chuckle, even snapped his finger a little when Iris mentioned that the acolytes would not have been able to focus on their training. Ah, yes, he could indeed see that struggle.
She would have wrapped all of you around her little paw. For sure even Sister Bikini would have fallen for her charm, hehe.
After all, the little kitten even managed to make Klavier fall vor her, despite him not really having the time and resources for a pet to begin with.
While Iris, of course surprised about his change of heart, peaked into the drawer where Klavier stored his tea, the prosecutor picked up plates and silverware to set it down properly at the designated table. Upon her question the blonde raised his head to shoot Iris a loving smile.
I leave that up to your recommendation, mein Engel.
Fair Edgeworth indeed was. Klavier would know, considering how well Edgeworth had treated him after the whole ordeal with Kristoph went down. He had given Klavier all the help and even provided professional support for him to work through that Trauma. Not quite done yet, but Klavier definitely was on a good way.
He had heard horror stories about how the Prosecutor's Office had been run before Edgeworth took over. About the corruption that had taken place, and the strange people that had roamed this place. Someone as softhearted and kind as Daedra would have had it a lot worse back then.
Of course I will let you know in case I need your help. I value not only your kindness but also your skill of phrasing certain things. Reading the protocols you wrote or going through the paperwork you provide always is very pleasant to read.
"You really think so?" Unable to help herself, Daedra swayed ever so slightly back and forth. Quite pleased and flattered to hear such a compliment from Klavier.
"I do admit to redoing them from time to time. I know I have to put the information exactly, but I don't like when it sounds so... robotic," she had to take a moment to pick the right word. Even then, she wasn't sure if that was the best way to describe the language. She knew the reports had to be professional and serious, but sometimes when she read the much older ones..... well, they basically made her want to dose off.
"I just want them to be easy to read! And easy to understand," the redhead casually explained. "Nothing makes the day feel longer then when you need to re-read a page because it's hard to interpret. I was worried it might be a problem how I typed things, but I'm glad it seems to be working!"
I do, ja! You really are rather talented when it comes to choosing your words and phrases.
Klavier absolutely understood what she meant. Most of the reports that he received were rather robotic indeed.
