004. [Voice; English]

Now that the supplies in this wretched place seem to be being replenished again on a regular basis, the next area of concern should be what one is meant to do for entertainment. After all, I cannot go about my usual business in this world, and I am unaccustomed to having unlimited amounts of leisure time.

life is meaningless without murder, bored german prosecutor is bored, c: tir mcdohl, c: yuri volte hyuga, c: musimo toshiya, c: franziska von karma, c: sweden, c: miles edgeworth, miles edgeworth won't stay dead, c: [blu] soldier, c: korea, c: seguchi tohma, c: manfred von karma, c: yukari yakumo, c: ryuichi sakuma, all your suggestions are foolish, c: damon gant, gtfo tits, !ic

(For her first time talking to him after their conversation, Franziska's voice is admirably collected, though you could certainly detect a certain tension in it, if you knew her well enough.)

The library seems to be an adequate source of entertainment; though I'll admit I've hardly had the chance to explore it thoroughly, there seem to be a great deal of novels there, if not much else.

(She recognizes the latent danger in his voice, but is too wounded to pay it much heed, and so - foolishly - she pushes:)

Oh? To which part of my statement would you be referring?

[There is such a disappointing number of inacurracies with Franziska's statement that he almost doesn't where to start.]

All of it.

(Franziska had been so focused on the words of their present conversation that she hadn't even considered the fact that he might have been alluding to something completely different; though she is, at his words, suddenly almost startlingly certain that she knows to what he's referring, a part of her is still hesitant to address it directly. If she were wrong - well, he'd probably simply continue to deny it, which would fully disappoint but not remotely surprise her. Still, she has to say something, and her voice is disbelieving, and just barely tinged with disdain.)

Do you really believe there's knowledge of the situation that would change my opinion, should I come to know it?

(Her words are doubtful, but wasn't that just what she and Miles had discussed that day in the hospital, the necessity of learning all circumstances, of examining all possibilities in order to further pursue the truth of the situation? Somehow, though, she knew that this wasn't quite what he'd had in mind; there was a truth, and she knew it, and there was ( ... )

[Manfred can't help but think that Franziska had drawn the conversation away from the topic he had been desiring, but in the end, it matters not, as his answer is the same either way.]

As things are, I believe any explanations I have would only be wasted on you.

That seems a convenient excuse.

It is simply the truth.

And why is that?

You would simply flounder, doing your best to counteract any explanation I try to give you, without even considering any alternatives. While I expected more of you, I must conclude that you will simply be a constant disappointment.

(...)

It's foolish both to presume that you know what my reaction would be and to refuse to allow me even the chance at understanding your explanation.

You would call me a fool, Franziska?

70% locked (voice; german) vonkarmic March 4 2010, 04:28:53 UTC

Not you, specifically, no; but the attitudes I just outlined, yes - I stand by my assertion that they are indeed foolish.

[There's a short pause before he answers, his voice sounding tired once more - and this time, it's almost as if he's not even trying to hide it.]

What do you believe redemption entails?

(Franziska considers her words carefully before she answers, and when she speaks, it is measured, with the barest hint of hesitance.)

... I imagine the details of such would be heavily dependent upon what one was atoning for.

You're evading the question once more.

70% locked (voice; german) vonkarmic March 4 2010, 06:39:10 UTC

I'm not evading, merely attempting to gather more information in order to answer the question more accurately. I assume you have a specific answer in mind?

(She pauses once more.)

I ... I would imagine that it entails not only the compensation of those wronged, but the genuine remorse of he who had committed the wrong, the assurance that the wrong would not be recommitted, and the pardon of those remaining who have been hurt by the crime.

(She realizes that she is giving him dictionary and legal definitions, and that--for once--that may not be what he's after, but she believes that he has in mind a specific answer, and she has no idea what it might be.)I realize that my answer might be a shallow one, but it's a vague question; the specifics of my answer truly do rely upon what wrong has been committed ( ... )
