Possibly, but most of the defense attorneys I've met have been ridiculous enough that they don't think of it that way. Besides, the job of the defense is to prove the innocence of their client. I'm sure most culprits would want to be on their good side.
Probably, if they're working for them. [ grace tilts her head in thought ] I never thought much about this stuff before. I've only ever read about it in books, and there's no way that's accurate. Well, there's probably a court car on the train, but I dunno how accurate that would be.
Given what I've researched about your train, I highly doubt it's reflective of a real court. Though that would depend on the books you've read as well. [there's a pause.] My father was a defense attorney. I had started to learn from a young age.
[ it's a little hesitant, partially because of the whole murdered part, and partially because grace has her own parental issues in the forefront of her brain right now and absolute could not relate to it being the case. thanks, hellish memory trip in a hotel. that was cool to revisit. ]
[he does not feel like going into what happened while living with von karma, so instead he turns the conversation around on her. maus is busy trying to stretch for maximum pets between grace and greed.]
The worst kind. [it's a wry comment because he can read between the lines well enough.] ...if you had an option, what is it that you would do? I don't suppose anyone truly has to work on your train. [but it's curiosity that makes him ask.]
[ maus is getting SO many pets. a ridiculous amount of pets. spoiled dog ]
I dunno. Dancer, probably. I liked it, and I was good at it. [ a beat, then dry: ] And that way I can skip the whole never making it to high school issue.
I'm choosing not to take that as a subtle dig. [ she shrugs ] Well, it's like you said, there's not really jobs on the train. Or school. But I could keep up with dancing over time, and that translates to non-train specific stuff.

I had thought I would grow up to be one myself. [so yes.]

Well, you're a lawyer, just not the same kind. It's funny, I don't even remember what my parents did. Besides "important work".
[ well, no, it's not funny, because all she ever did know was that, but whatever ]

Ah. [literally can't relate.] There's no shame in focusing on the skills you excel at.
[except why would you not want to go to school? it's fine.]
