A Prosecutor face! It's when they look all grumpy and disapproving because they want to scare the witness into telling the truth!

[ First the whole geography thing and now this. What is your legal system even, Kay. ]

You don't have prosecutors?

First time I've heard of one.

[ When he was young, disputes were brought before Ansem the Wise; the dude had to earn his name somehow. Now...there are no disputes! There aren't enough people for it. ]

If you commit a crime, you're allowed a fair trial. A prosecutor's someone who tries to get the suspect a guilty verdict.

[ Well the 'fair trial' bit is self-evident, but the terminology is new. ]

What's the term for someone who tries to get an innocent verdict?

Are you interested in law?

[ The last time they'd discussed law, she'd mentioned her dad and that 'Yatagarasu' figure, so he figures that maybe law--or the dislike of it?--runs in the family. ]

[ Kay's expression alters briefly, so there's just the slightest flash of something darker in her eyes-- like she's pained. But then it's gone. ]

I'm interested in justice! And I used to think they were the same thing, but...

[ her father had understood it first. Her father, Uncle Badd... and Kay had faithfully believed in the system until the criminal walked away the first time, when she'd been too young to understand why the bad man wasn't being put away like all bad man were.

And her father's death hadn't been avenged for seven years.

Kay shrugs after a minute. ]

It'd be nice if the Yatagarasu wasn't needed.

[ He nods, once. He gets it. He wishes she were here with him, so that he could offer something more comforting than just words. ]

I think that's something all governments in all worlds should aspire to. [ Referring, of course, to justice and law being the same. ] But something that works in theory doesn't always work in practice.

Of course not.

[ They never do, even if it'd be nice if they did. ]

I don't think my dad had the wrong idea.
