Asuka, at your convenience, may I have a word with you?

Alucard, I will tell you firmly, no to the toothpaste, and I note that mine has disappeared. Do not think you have had the last word.

Messrs. Gavin and Justice, a word, please?

Apollo Justice, Defense Attorney at your service, sir!

[blazingjustice]

... Er, how can I help you?

[dark_butler]

An apt question. I have need of your professional services.

[atroquinined]

( ...Hm. )

I see my partner has made himself known. Kristoph Gavin, Attorney at law, at your service as well.

Shall we take this discussion under a proper filter, Justice?

[banditfox]

Alucard was rather enthusiastic about your whole family matching.

[dark_butler]

Yes, I am aware of that, but I found the taste and odor less than appealing.

[banditfox]

They do leave something to be desired.

[dark_butler]

Indeed.

How are you and yours?

[steeldame]

Should I bring your mind request now?

Private;

I spoke with Henry Fitzroy, Walter. This is my father's and my fault for not being firm enough. You can't help your nature.

[dark_butler]

That would be appreciated, thank you.

Private
Indeed.

[steeldame]

May I know who is this "Asuka"?

Private

I suppose you know I believe that what you did was absolutely foolish, however I sincerely cannot blame you for what is in your nature.

The fault is mine. Mine and my father's for not paying heed and trying to stop you before it reaches to this critical point.

[dark_butler]

Asuka will be staying in our guest room for a few days.

Private
There is no point in trying to make you believe otherwise.

What is done is done. I accept responsibility for my actions and will do so in court as well.

[tinyvampiregod]

It was nearly gone anyway. I did you a favor by replacing your toothpaste.

[dark_butler]

I am replacing your replacement.

[tinyvampiregod]

Did you try the meat flavor?

[dark_butler]

I said that I would try it. I tried it. I will not be repeating it.

[feurigkeit]

Yeah?

[dark_butler]

I was wondering if you might explain to me what it means to have "pawned" someone.
