I'm a judge, a magistrate, a justice. I preside over trials and make the final decision concerning the sentencing of a criminal.
[Please, just let him die right now. Every trial with Kaburagi is looking more and more like a little slice of heaven, every meeting with Barnaby Brooks Jr. and Wild Tiger is preferable to this. This is worse than living the guilt-ridden life plagued by the ghost of his father.]
I will meet you on the courtroom steps tomorrow late afternoon.
And if I've prior obligations I must attend to?

I will hold court, take care of my paperwork, then meet you and your friends for tea. There will be no dragging.

You could be politely asking to visit me now because you are feeling nervous for judging things tomorrow.

Why would I feel nervous about doing my job? I've been a justice for years, what I do in Somarium is no different from what I did in Sternbild.

Also, as your friend, I worry about you.

I... appreciate that. The government and the judicial systems in Somarium, however, are not much different from what I worked with in Sternbild.

Please, tell me where I will need to meet you and your friends for tea tomorrow.

How about outside the courtroom that you're having your "hearing?" Is it testing acoustics?
