[He bites back the sarcastic "I bet you are" hiding in the recesses of his mind, and responds politely:]

Thank ya kindly, Mister Prosecutor.

[mentis_reae]

When do you begin work?

[cactusnwhiskey]

I'm startin' bright an' early tomorrow.

[mentis_reae]

Well. Then we may well be working together in the near future.

[cactusnwhiskey]

S'pose that's true. Though I reckon you got enough on yer plate with just the one case fer now, right?

[mentis_reae]

"Just the one case"?

[cactusnwhiskey]

Yeah, that AGI case that everybody keeps talkin' 'bout. [A light shrug.] Figured that'd be takin' up most of yer time.

[mentis_reae]

I'm not working that case in my capacity as a prosecutor, and they're not about to lighten my workload because of my private affairs.

[cactusnwhiskey]

[A shrug.] Whatever you say. Guess that means I'll be workin' with ya in the near future, if we get assigned to the same case.

[mentis_reae]

Indeed. I assure you that I will be nothing less than professional, and I expect you to be the same.

[cactusnwhiskey]

[Jake doesn't respond at first, he just gives a nod to the prosecutor.] Long as you make the right call.

[mentis_reae]

I beg your pardon. Define "the right call."

[cactusnwhiskey]

Long as you get our man from the evidence I collect, we won't be havin' any problems.

[mentis_reae]

[A bit dangerously:]

As that's always what I do, I don't think that problems are imminent.

[cactusnwhiskey]

Then as far as I can figure, we ain't gonna be havin' any problems.
