all rise

No plea bargain is struck. The jury is picked, and Lucinda asks a few random ones whether they have accepted bribes and sees who looks nervous: no one, as it turns out, so she strikes people who are too young to have children and one fellow who looks like he hates the entire world for her picks. Paul strikes a grandmotherly type and someone who admits when asked that they don't think much of rich people.

"All rise," comes the command as Judge Roberts walks in.
edgeofyourseat: Explaining or agreeing. (⑼ gotta be cool)

It's not like he actually needs three million dollars for anything. On the other hand, it's conceivable that someday he might. On the other other hand, his mom is still going to be mega rich, and maybe now she'll let him touch real money... but then he's back at square one with the needing a bank account. Screw it. He burns a pentagon.
edgeofyourseat: Dancing wildly, grinning. (⑹ ride it where I like)

He is momentarily distracted by petting. Mm, petting.

[Not yet,] he says. [But now I know how bank accounts work, so that's handy.]
edgeofyourseat: Hand to back of head, uncertain. (⑾ whatcha doin' tonight)

[Nope, that was entirely comprehensible. But what if I really want to - you know what, I can't even think of anything I could use a million dollars for. Buy a really awesome house? I like my lair better.]

edgeofyourseat: Thoughtful. Possibly shirtless. (⑽ I kinda like it)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-30 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Guess so,] he muses. [Ooh, pocket dimensions. Hey, I wonder if I could make a lair that's, like, New York out one door and Forks out another? Anything in your book about stuff like that?]
edgeofyourseat: Grinning, friendly. (⑵ extraordinarily nice)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-30 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cool,] he says cheerfully. [Maybe I'll do that.]
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-30 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[You go wherever you wanna. I'll stick a door to my lair somewhere nearby.]
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, possibly fake, mildly creepy. (⑸ playful as a pussy cat)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-30 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Or it just won't exist for anybody but us.]
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, conspiratorial or challenging. (⑷ wanna try?)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-30 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[That'd be fun. I mean, I doubt I'll ever care, but it'd be fun.]
edgeofyourseat: Grinning, friendly. (⑵ extraordinarily nice)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-30 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[It totally would! Maybe I'll have some delivered to you.]
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-30 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[What if I do it while you're not there and then I take them away and clean up after them?]
edgeofyourseat: Grinning, maybe licking lips. (⑴ you say bark I say bite)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-30 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
He cracks up again.

[This is looking more hilarious the more I think about it.]
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, possibly fake, mildly creepy. (⑸ playful as a pussy cat)

[I am very inexplicable,] he says happily. [But okay.] No baby bird deliveries to Bella's doorstep.
