2. Exchange
It's a normal occurrence when the two are against each other in court.
Before trial commences, both parties of defense and prosecution settle next to each other, propped on a small bench that has been provided for the lobby. The two exchange information on the case and work together. Albeit the two are on two sides of the trial coin, they aim towards finding out the truth - the real culprit - in these cases, no matter who wins.
Athena yanks one of the papers on his lap, and sighs. "Something's fishy about all of these facts... They don't add up."
With a quiet nod, Simon slips the papers in his hands back into the manila folder. "Your defendant conceals the truth very well - but not well enough for my eyes. I'm going to press it out of him to stop this commotion." He smirks faintly. "Taka will sic the truth out."
She can't help but laugh at the thought of Taka aiming it's claws to her defendant. Standing up, the defense lawyer bends her body down and presses a kiss to his forehead. "Good luck, then, Mr. Blackquill."
"Likewise," he calls back, watching her make her way through the doors into the courtroom.
