[ That trial absolutely sucked, and now Sebastian is back in the library, frantically looking through the shelves and everywhere like he might somehow find a clue that got missed now, even though everything's been cleaned up and he never knew what they were looking for in the first place. ]

[battling]

[They sent Bucky to a scapegoat....... PART TWO. I cannot believe this happened to Lisa twice.

Bradley's wings fluff up, then smooth down.]

It got cleaned up. Y'know how these places are.

[unbested]

I know, but—

[ His pomeranian ears flatten sadly, and he keeps looking at the shelf in front of him in an attempt to hide his red, teary eyes. ]

But I still feel like there has to— I should still be able to figure it out!! I'm supposed to be the best prosecutor! I can't just... let this happen to him...

[battling]

[Man, all kids are just like this. With such short lives, it's no wonder they take things so hard.]

When the votes are cast things are settled. That's how these work.

Do you remember the evidence? All you have is your memory to work with now.

[unbested]

But that's not how it's supposed to work! I'm so sick of these— [ sniff ] stupid things making a joke out of the justice system!

[battling]

How is the justice system supposed to work?

[As far as he knows it goes "you're guilty" and put behind bars with no trial at all.]

[unbested]

You do an investigation to find the person who did it, and then you give them a trial once you already know they're the guilty criminal so you can get them convicted and sentenced!

[ also... not exactly how it should work... ]

[battling]

[That is not how it has ever worked for him, but North's justice system might not actually exist]

That so? They ain't gonna work to your rules, y'know. No matter how much ya hate it.

[unbested]

I know, but that doesn't mean I have to accept theirs either! A-at least, not completely...

[battling]

How would ya go about changin' it? Can ya?

[unbested]

I don't... I don't know... I mean, I'm gonna sue the jerk in charge of this whole thing when it's over for doing all this stuff that isn't in the contract, but right now I'm... I'm not sure.

I hate this.

[battling]

Nobody who ever gets stuck in these fucking things enjoys 'em.

[unbested]

I didn't say they did!

[battling]

[ Reaches out to pat his head. ]

I hate them too.

[unbested]

[ just. tearing up again, i'm sorry. ]

[battling]

[ This IS a baby. Not even Mitile cries this much. ]

C'mon, let's go somewhere else.

[unbested]

[ he nods... and he'll follow wherever. ]

[battling]

[They're going down to the restaurant.]

Tea can help calm ya down. The warmth of it, or whatever.

[unbested]

[ sniffs ]

Oh... Rin was saying it was good for when you're sick too.

[battling]

Yeah, there's medicine teas and potions too. Dunno if they'll have those here.

[unbested]

Potions...? Is that a wizard thing?

[battling]

Southerners make 'em.

[unbested]

...Like, your south, right? Not like, Georgia?

[battling]

South County.

What's Georgia?

[unbested]

Uh, it's a state in the southern part of the United States... they have a lot of peaches, I think.
