[...well at least gojou seems to understand, so there's a nod.]
Sure. [there's a pause then.] We didn't have anything like us during our time here. [no avatars, he means.] Everything that happened was because of decisions we made ourselves. I suppose that's why I've always felt it's important to provide what opportunities we could.
[well the answer's debatable because the trials from the last several weeks have been a mess. this trial was also a mockery of the whole system, but at the same time he seems to think on it quietly.]
...mm. [that is not an answer.] I do think it helped, even if not always in the way it was intended to.
[he's choosing not to perceive but also you can't say that he's busy nuzzling and being a gremlin and expect greed not to react to that with semi-positive feelings.
nooo perception...even if there's a flicker of annoyance. "good enough" isn't always enough, but he'll let it slide.
[my god. well. that gets a ripple of amusement, annoyance, something weirdly like fondness but not quite and agreement all at once before it snaps back to a calm sort of emotion.]
As if we needed a trial to learn that. [a joke. but yeah. that's completely fair.]
You ought to consider yourself lucky. Trials general last several days, and that's not including the investigations to go with them.
[a long time!! but ah. right. wishes. this is going to be hilarious considering what he just said, but.]
The legal system has become corrupted. I intend to fix it. [this explains nothing.] There are...two very important cases that have occurred in the last year that have ended disastrously. One is the disbarment of a remarkable defense attorney for presenting forged evidence to the court, and one is the death sentence of a prosecutor for a guilty plea of murder.
I don't believe either of them are guilty. But because these things have happened, a cycle has begun that the public doesn't believe in the legal system, and in turn those working in accordance of the law are resorting to drastic and illegal measures to ensure they get the verdict they seek.
I thought that perhaps...I could find a solution to at least get that attorney his badge back. Even that would be an improvement to help solve the rest.
I am, I am. I don't need to do jury duty! But... I do have meetings with sorcerers of olde. They're boring.
[ Gojou listens and even if the first statement explains NOTHING he gets it. Gojou's wish as he explains it is also vague... Vast, but he also has some ideas on how to get there. Where they both differ is the hand given to them, isn't it? He remembers from listening to Greed, to many people's, wish is that so many put their all here. Gojou doesn't feel as uneasy or insecure.
The emotions are calm, inquisitive, and understanding. The universe will always be cruel. ]
It sounds like we both want to change the world, but yours is one seen by everyone. It's quite a mountain to scale... All eyes are watching.
[ Genuine... Gojou doesn't see his situation in wanting to rework the Jujutsu world more difficult or grander than Greed's just because sorcerers were all chosen to wield powers. ]
"People that have been wronged for doing the right thing."
[ He quotes Greed, but not with his Greed impression this time. Is this right? Is the feeling. ]
I'm among the highest-ranking prosecutors. [that is to say...meetings suck no matter who you are.
nevertheless, that's the difference there. greed believes he could accomplish this, maybe, on his own but he isn't as confidence as he'd like. especially when he's lacking a partner to actually help him get that far. he only can do so much on his own at this very moment. so yeah. changing the world, making it better for the younger proteges and bringing it back to become a system the public believes in is actually a lot more stressful than he anticipated, and he's already a stressed out individual.
but it's fine.]
All eyes watching is precisely this needs to be fixed. [...but he nods.] I don't believe that Blackquill would murder his own mentor. Likewise...Wright isn't the type of person to resort to tactics such as falsified evidence. That's more like a trick I would have pulled years ago.
[ Okay!! Gojou knows that it wasn't a flex, but it really sounds like a flex, so he can't help but smile more because it's cute? ]
Usually, I would tease you over your choice in people, but I'll let you go.
[ He may be socially stunted sometimes, but he can read situations if he wants to. On top of that, he likes Greed. Gojou seldom respects anyone, so unfortunately Greed will never receive that, but he does radiate something else. It's faith. ]
I believe you have what it takes to change it yourself... [ Gojou pulls him closer with a side hug. ] But I hope your wish gets granted, Greed.
[thanks for that. also really glad i missed whole-ass words, it's fine. regardless, yeah, he takes it for what it is even if he recognizes that sort of feeling and it leaves something weirdly gutwrenching behind. but he doesn't acknowledge it and instead remains calm.
wishes...are so complicated, and he allows for the movement like he isn't sure if he's supposed to react or not.]
...we'll see. [which is sort of like saying thank you, a blip of gratitude mixed in there somewhere.] There are other priorities I'd like to see through as well now that I'm here. As you can imagine my time has become a bit split.
[still nothing ruffled in his emotions! just very chill. it's serving the purpose of making gojou analyze things though so that's fine. being a prosecutor is terrible.]
[gojou can't see it but he can probably feel the look greed gives him while he raises an eyebrow.]
I've had time to consider things. [so he's frazzled about other stuff, but at the end of the day he figures gojou's very much just himself and like this and so he shouldn't take anything too seriously. and he's selfish, and he's weak, and a thousand other things he actually doesn't feel like revealing, so yeah. gojou can know that much.]

Thank you.

Would you say you’re proud of your creation in spite of us...

Making memes of past cases to use for this recent trial.

Then that's good enough.
[ Sorry, perfectionist. ]
I took something from it, too.
no subject
nooo perception...even if there's a flicker of annoyance. "good enough" isn't always enough, but he'll let it slide.

Such as?

I didn't get to watch so many people for nine hours back at home.

[ HEHE. Joking! Just joking. He keeps rubbing his arm, hoping that it does anything for those weird feels that are so quick to leave.
Greed is good with his emotions! Much like Gojou! Wowee! ]
Ever considered a vacation before?
no subject
he does roll his eyes though, mostly at ease but also a little bemused by the thought.]
Who has time for that? With all of you I can barely take a day to myself. [it's debatable if he wants to because sometimes you like keeping busy.]
no subject
That amusement is matched. ]
You did take a day off just to hang out with me. Are you saying that wasn’t a short vacation? The fields are nice!
no subject
That was an entirely different manner all together. Not a vacation.
no subject
So... A date.
no subject
A foolish notion on my part, but yes. Something like that.
no subject
[ LOUD CONFUSION. ]
no subject
Should I not?
no subject
[ More unexpected! But Gojou doesn’t dislike it. It is but...
Surprising that Greed is like fine you can look at my cards. ]
