Xavier: Well if one of my nephews or nieces was interested, of course, I'd be happy to share whatever knowledge I could with them, but I can't see myself trying to pressure anyone, relative or no, into pursuing a legal career. Not only am I not as bad as my father when it comes to matters like that...at least I'd like to hope so, the legal field is sort of a...
Malcolm: Dry...? Stuffy?
Xavier: Not for everyone.
Malcolm: Cause of all the readin' y'all have to do?
Xavier: There is quite a bit of that involved yes, with complicated and verbose language that could put some of the worst insomnia sufferers to bed within moments. It's not as 'exciting' as those television dramas make it out to be. Impassioned speeches and damning admissions in the court are significantly fewer and farther between than most would think. That's not to say I haven't had my fair share of shining moments in court mind you. I just spend a lot more time researching law and preparing cases and so forth. What I'm basically saying to those that are interested is that if you are expecting to walk into a Pheonix Flight game, you will be sorely disappointed.
Malcolm: Well when y'all put it like that, ya make it sound like the dullest, most disinterestin' line o' work I've ever heard of.
Xavier: Don't get me wrong, it can be very rewarding. And rarely do I ever loath my work. I'm just saying...it takes a certain kind of mammal to be an attorney. A good one anyway. So while I would happily love to share my knowledge with an interested family member...I'm...er...honestly, I'd be terribly worried about boring them to tears. *Chuckles*
Malcolm: Aww, don't put yerself down there Fluffybuns. Yer law stories ain't that bad...
Xavier: Tell that to my brothers...and Mother...and Father...and pretty much any mammal who isn't also a lawyer or works in a legal capacity. *Laughs* Oh, and Dawn. I suppose her time as Assistant Mayor did well to steel her attention span in regards to legal proceedings.
Malcolm: Well, y'all never know. One of them pups yer brothers adopt someday could be just as keen on them stories.
Xavier: Well if that day ever comes, I'll be sure to try to ease them into the full depth of my legal knowledge. Maybe that will manage to foster that interest within them without snuffing it out altogether.
Malcolm: I know y'all will Fluffbuns. And yer' gonna be that pups' favorite Uncle.
Xavier: Please, if any mammal is guaranteed to be their favorite in terms of Uncles, it's going to be you Ginger Snap, paws down.
Malcolm: Aww....*Blushing* Hush now...
Of course Xavier knows what Phoenix Wright, ...err Flight, is. I wouldn't be surprised if they are some of his favorite video games.
