[ He remembers something vaguely about a racetrack. Something kind of vapourwave-like. Tama was there. ]
I used to have to get all over Tokyo for my job, so... I used it a lot. I don't really need to get all over here, and the trains and taxis work just fine.
Yeah! Got an old photo of Dhurke and his kids that we had back at the office — did I show that to you before?
And— well, those white flowers, I was buying the same vase of those from back home every week until I managed to start growing some here from cuttings.
Remembrance thing... that sounds nice. I think maybe for Nichiren Buddhism, it'd be something like the spider lily...
These are his, um, kids?
[ Well, Dhurke and AJ look like they could be related. Maybe Yuty is a friend. The way he has no idea who any of their real names are except I guess Dhurke. ]
[ i'll never get over how apollo looks so much more like dhurke than nahyuta does... my roommate and me waiting all game for the twist that he really was his biological father and then that sure did not happen ]
Yeah! Yuty's his son by blood, and then AJ's his adopted son, though he had to take him back to the States where his parents were from once things in Khura'in started getting too dangerous.
We just reunited with him recently, though! After... what, 16 years or something. He's a defense attorney just like his old man now!
Sure, that's a big part of what the revolution's about, remember? No one has representation in court when they're accused of crimes anymore 'cause the DC Act effectively banned defense attorneys. Makes perfect sense that the leader of the revolution would be a lawyer himself!
[ How does he say... he didn't expect lawyers to be so proactive in it. Something something insert cops vs lawyers meme here, even though the detectives + lawyer combo at least on the prosecution side usually work okay. ]
That does make sense. I guess I just wouldn't have expected the face of the revolution to be a lawyer, like... a class-action thing...

But yeah, I guess there's not really a lot of places to drive here anyway, outside of the racetrack.
[ a limo on a racetrack... ]
Snake's got that fancy car in their dorm and it sounded like they didn't have a lot of opportunities to take it out.

[ Since he doesn't know what Dhurke looks like. Or his relationship with the guy at all, really. ]
What kind of flowers are they?

[ and as he goes through his pockets ]
Nahmanda flowers. It's a traditional remembrance thing back home. Ah, here!
[ hands him a photo! ]
That's Dhurke, Yuty, and AJ!

O-oh. [ He is proven wrong. But wow, the States... very cool. ] I didn't know you were friends with lawyers.
[ There is an internal thought here that doesn't get shared because this is a w4 thread of 'why do you keep getting into so much trouble then'. ]
