[ The wall is back up the moment Phoenix mentions Apollo, realizing he might have said too much, but at the same time, he isn't one to take back what he said. He's given this thought over the course of time, after all. Law before personal issues, always. The innocents came first. ]

Who said I'm blaming myself, Wright?

[ He takes care not to snap at him for that, because it's so tempting. He knows that whatever impression he may have left on Phoenix in Phoenix's past is warranted, but now, while they're in the City, so much has changed that he's certain he'd surprise himself from nine months ago. ]

For someone who has been with Kristoph Gavin all this time and being from the time that he is... Justice has been holding up well enough. I'm sure if what I've heard of him is true, then he will follow the truth no matter the result.

[ He can't open himself to Phoenix anymore, he realizes at that moment. For all the man has done for him, he can no longer burden him with his emotions. It's a somewhat conscious decision, and mentally... he realizes he will have to become a professional companion, a friend who will do the right thing in return for the selfless help Phoenix once gave him, but nothing more than that.

He's such a hypocrite, he tells himself right then.

The clouds rumble above him, thunder sounding through them, and a light drizzle beginning again. Turning away from Phoenix, not caring that the other can see the meteorological manifestation of his emotions, he only looks ahead of himself. ]

Mr. Armando and I are thinking of investing a place where we will constantly receive news. A café and meeting place, of sorts. The public is more willing to provide information in a relaxed setting, isn't it?

[ Glancing back at Phoenix, he watches him quietly. It's clear what he's saying. One thing on the surface, another thing beneath.

Just like the rest of them.

It's sneaky, but at the same time, it's a necessary evil. And there's no time to waste. ]
