togusa said that too

obviously i'm not ACTUALLY gonna call it fight club, it's just an easier term. you know what i mean

so right now we're looking at me, tatsuo, grell, dr. trevelyan, prompto, luke, sorey, mikleo, vera, chloe, karkat, kiyomitsu, pen, and probably a few other people i'm not remembering right now

i'm gonna make a post to the network about it too so there'll definitely be more people than just that

Of course Togusa did. I imagine he was more alarmed about it than I was.

And that's already a respectable amount. I suppose you can add me to the list as a temporary visitor, as well.

[Because, as he had said before... he's curious. Especially if some of these people are touting strange fighting skills.]

yeah he didn't like the idea at all but i talked him around to it. i still don't think he LIKES it but he at least understands why it has to happen

all right, i'll keep that in mind

but

do you think you could help me with making a waiver? just in case

He's a reasonable man. You can't blame him for being concerned for your sake, as well.

And of course I will. You need help with the verbiage, I assume?

sure i can, he doesn't have any reason to be

[Maybe Togusa's said that he cares about Prompto and him, but it's going to take time before Dante's able to really accept that fact. Hell, he's still having trouble comprehending the fact that Ardyn seems to sometimes, in spite of all the discussions they've had.]

yeah. i might've learned a lot from your class but "how to write a legal document" wasn't exactly in the syllabus

Give him more credit than that. Of course he has reason to; he's not an uncaring man. That, coupled with his job, gives him every reason to feel concern for both your safety and others around you.

[To Ardyn, saying that Togusa doesn't have a reason to be concerned is doing a disservice to the man.]

That's because you haven't taken a Contract Law class yet. Consider doing so.

that wasn't what i meant, i know he's a pretty good guy

it's more the about ME part

[He knows Togusa and how much of a public servant he seems to consier himself. He's a guy that's trying to do the right thing for the right reasons! He's just also wasting his time, just like Ardyn was.]

you're just trying to drag me into the law major now

That makes even /less/ sense. There are many reasons why he should be concerned about you, Dante.

[You and your bad life decisions.]

Would that be such a bad thing? You'd do well as one.

i think i've proven by now i can take care of myself

[He has no idea what to say to that, honestly. To any of that. There are many reasons? Like what? Ardyn thinks he'd make a good lawyer? How the hell would he make a good lawyer? He doesn't understand it, and yet he can't refute it at the same time because, well... Ardyn hasn't lied to him so far. If anything, Ardyn's been remarkably truthful, even when the truth has been hard to hear. If he's saying this... it's because he probably believes it.

Which means that he does think there are legitimate reasons to be concerned for his sake, and he does think that he'd do well as a lawyer.

Dante really doesn't know how to handle this sort of thing.

And so he falls back into his usual barbed comments instead.]

what are you talking about

the judge would kick me out of the courtroom first

[Come now, Dante, give yourself more credit. Ardyn sees the merits in him that'd make for a good lawyer -- intelligent, clever, at least cognizant of how the law works (even if he's not always keen on following them).

And while he'd never make his student feel obligated to follow a path he's not interested in, he'll at least point out that -- technically -- he thinks Dante would make a good lawyer if he applied himself to such a career path.]

Now, don't take it the wrong way. There are certainly things you can improve upon, such as leashing that tongue of yours in a professional setting.

[But some things only come with age and experience. Dante still has time to learn... that.]

But I call it as I see it. You'd be a fine lawyer if you chose to be.

huh

you really think so...?

[Huh. How strange it is to have someone actually believe in him again.]

maybe i'll think about it then

[Wait.]

Really?

[Well, if he's going to think about it, then...]

If it's something you end up considering, I'd be more than happy to offer suggestions on which classes would be best suited to your interests.

[It looks like they've both surprised each other.]

all right, i'll let you know
