[And what had started out as a lot of uncertainty about how this was going to go, suddenly paid off in a surprisingly big way.
He and this young hotshot are probably going to get along just fine after all.
He's surprised that he's still considered 'one of the prosecutors worth knowing', but he'll take that.
Even though that last court battle seemed like it ended on a vaguely civil note, old wounds don't actually heal so quickly. Particularly not ones that run as deeply as that. So, the mention of Phoenix in a less-than-generous light? Strikes a chord with him. He'll drink to that.]
He's incredibly frustrating, is what he is. A real piece of work.
[There's an emphatic mug-point at that, a bit of an old habit. He finishes cup number twelve and signals the waitress again. How have they not decided to cut him off or kick him out at this point is entirely beyond him.
"You know, I faced him down in court once myself, and found myself incredibly disappointed. My very first case, even! ...It makes me wonder if Herr Wright's reputation was really earned."
His attention is visibly piqued. There's a story here.]
