[ For better or worse, Law hopes they find the rest of their party. He'd taken it for granted, he thinks, just how comforting it is to have the others around, not to mention how they work as a team, how they compliment each other in battle and outside of it, too. It's weird to think about, after spending so long doing things on his own, how urgently he feels that sense of attachment. Up until they'd lost Shionne, it'd kind of gone over his head. Now? He feels the sting of I don't know where my friends are like a barb.

For now, though, Law doesn't seem to mind handing over a bunch of personal information and his so-called list of crimes for Shionne to peruse as she pleases. They may not all have occasion to tell each other everything all of the time, and he's not sure he's ever properly confided in Shionne about anything important, but there are really no secrets he feels he needs to keep from her. He's stupid enough to think the same holds true for the rest of them, but give it, oh, three months and a few days and he'll find out there's one teensy little thing Shionne's not telling them... y'know... no biggie. But for now, it's fine.

Like what's she gonna do. Judge him for being short. She's shorter than he is. ]


Mm, it kinda reminds me of how things were in Cyslodia. Once they had you trapped, they could just call upon whatever trumped-up charges they had on you, even if they weren't technically true. At least whoever wrote this is nice enough to let us plead our case.

[ BIG SARCASM. ]

Penning us in a weird place and telling us we're guilty of something as an excuse for keeping us detained... tch, it's not even original.

[ When she's finished reading, Law carefully takes the paper back from her and pointedly crumples right back up into a ball. He hasn't tried to destroy it, just in case he needs it for something, but that doesn't mean he has to Respect the Paper. ]

Whadya make of the "chosen" thing, though? That's the part that confuses me. "Worthy and deserving"... but murderers and terrorists.
