[Kristoph is sitting in a little corner cafe, sipping a cup of tea and flipping casually through a newspaper. Today was one of those rare days where he was completely free of work. The pleasant weather out had prompted him to take a walk, and he'd ended up wandering in here. Hey, he deserved a chance to relax every once in a while, didn't he?]

Comments

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Please, have a seat.

[He gestures at the empty chair across from him.]

So, what brings you to this part of town, Wright? Mere coincidence? Or something more?

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

[Sliding the chair out, Phoenix sits with a nod of thanks, setting his bottle down on the table.]

A twist of fate, maybe?

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles.]

It very well could be. Perhaps fate is telling us to catch up with one another.

[He examines Phoenix's bottle, careful not to betray any of his distaste.]

Ah, it seems you've even brought your own beverage. Grape juice, I presume?

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Haha, could be.

[Phoenix gives a nod, raising his bottle and taking a quick drink.]

Yep. You know me too well.

wow LJ is acting stupid

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

Some things never change, it seems.

[He takes a sip of his tea.]

I presume you and your daughter have been faring well?

I had problems last night with it too. ):

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

We have. She gets better and better at magic everyday, haha.

How goes business? As an attorney, I mean.

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

One would wonder what other business you could be referring to. [He laughs.] But, yes, it's been quite well. Business has been growing, as of late. So much so that I felt the need to take on an apprentice.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Haha, I'm not sure what other business you would have.

[Or does he?]

But an apprentice, huh? How's that going?

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

He's eager to learn, if somewhat inexperienced. You should meet him sometime, Wright. I hear he was quite a big fan of yours.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

A fan..? That's certainly a rarity. Hah.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

I'd love to meet him. What's his name?

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

Apollo Justice. [AKA that guy with the ridiculous name.] He's fresh out of law school. I'm sure you know the type.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

[Phoenix laughs.]

With a name like that, it's like he was born to be an attorney!

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles lightly along with him.]

Perhaps so. It is certainly... unique, in any case. Rather like your own. You don't see too many kids named "Phoenix".

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Guess you've got a point there... But what can I say. It's grown on me. I kinda like 'Apollo Justice', too.

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

They do have a certain majestic ring to them, I'll admit. I would hardly be surprised if Justice got a good number of clients based on his name alone.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Imagine the catchphrases he could come up with on his name alone. 'The hand of Justice shall defend you!' Hahaha!

[Oh-so-easily amused.]

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

[...Wright, you are so bizarre.]

I believe the title of "Justice Law Offices" would be sufficient.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

[No idea what you're talking about.]

Hopefully he becomes that successful, hm? Under your training, I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you. In a few years' time, I'm sure he'll grow to be a very competent lawyer.

...Ah, but look at me ramble. How has your "piano playing" been going, Wright?

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Heh, "piano playing" has been good. Business has been kinda slow.

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

Ah, if I were any good at cards, I'd be tempted to challenge you myself.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it's not about being good, y'know. Just holding out until the very end.

[Don't mind his mysterious hobo moment.]

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

[Darn mysterious hobos and their riddles.]

Bluffing and distracting your opponent seems to play a large role as well, no? [This is totally only about poker.]

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Or rather, knowing when your opponent is bluffing. You have to pay close attention to the others' actions and expressions. You really see a person's true colors through the game.

[Yeah, totally.]

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

It sounds fascinating. I'm almost tempted to brush up on my poker skills.

Of course, you've gone undefeated for, what? Seven years now? I doubt I'd stand a chance.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

I'm always willing to give a friend lessons.

[A lighthearted laugh, before Phoenix takes a thoughtful sip of grape juice.]

Well, y'never know when I'll meet my match.

[falschewahrheit.livejournal.com]

No need to be modest, Wright. I'm sure you could make quite a bit of money with your skills. ...In areas where gambling is legal, that is.

[acehobo.livejournal.com]

Maybe I should look into it. Not very good pay just pretending you can play piano.
