[Apollo takes a sip of his coffee, leaning back in his chair.]
You'd think if he needed us to do mindless work, he'd make us organize the files or something else along those lines. The office is kind of a mess.

[but she laughs at that, because she's terrible.]
Nick's always like that! He's a real slob when it comes to everything else, but boy does he love that toilet. Maybe he just likes to flash his badge in the reflection when it's really clean...?
[man, she's hungry, where's the food]
no subject
Did he really used to show his badge all the time?
[It's something Apollo can be guilty of at times, too, not that he's going to admit to that. What, studying for and passing the bar was a lot of hard work!]
no subject
Are you saying he doesn't? [Wow, did Nick actually outgrow flashing his badge? That's more shocking to Maya than anything else] He used to pull that thing out at the drop of a dime! I'm pretty sure it's the only thing he loved more than having a clean toilet.
[Phoenix is such a weirdo]
no subject
Oh, er. About that. [Apollo winces and averts his gaze.] He doesn't because...he can't really do it anymore.
[Suddenly, Apollo realizes just how awkward this conversation could wind up being. If Phoenix hasn't told her anything about the future yet, then the job's just fallen onto Apollo's shoulders. Why is this his life?]
no subject
[But, huh, the tone of this conversation changed suddenly! And he's... drooping? But wait, what he's saying is genuinely concerning, enough that her smile drops slightly, to look shocked...]
You're saying he can't clean the toilet anymore? Geez!! What happened?! Did his back give out?!
[Yeah, that's definitely the dark secret Apollo's been hiding]
maya ....
I thought we were talking about his badge-flashing habits! When did the conversation turn back to toilet cleaning?

Wait! I get it!
[A dramatic pause, and she slams her hands on the table]
He sprained his wrist!
[Nailed it, Maya]
no subject
[Yeah, he's still not over that one. Who the heck is that lucky?]
no subject
[And then what Apollo just said seems to properly sink in, and her eyes widen.]
Wait-- he got hit by a car?! I can't leave him alone for five minutes!
no subject
It's...not because of any injuries, though. You're not going to like what I'm about to tell you. [As he clears his throat, Apollo musters enough courage to actually keep going this time.] He couldn't show off his badge for a while because--well, because he was disbarred.
[The words come out in a rush.]
no subject
Wait-- did he lose his badge in a bar?! Geez, he really must have been hitting the grape juice too hard...
