"Panicked... Palms sweaty... I can admit it. I'm nervous"

'Ah, good morning!'

apollo turned his head up at his mentor, ..kristoph gavin, ..after phoenix wright went back into recovery for seven years, he had kristoph Gavin take over and run his office while he was away, ...he swallowed a little nervously as he spoke to his mentor, trying to sound professional

'G-Good morning, sir!'

kristoph grinned a bit as he kept on his cool composure, and took notice how how jumpy and anxious apollo looked

'You look tense, Justice. Wound up tight'

apollo shook his head as he tried to show his mentor he was ready for the job

'W-Wound up, sir? No! I'm loose! I'm fine!'

kristoph held back a wince as he commented on how loud apollo voice was

'That screeching noise... Is that your voice? I suppose it's to be expected... Your first trial, and it's a homicide. I guess "Justice" doesn't start small, eh?'

he cocked his head to the side a little, apollo panicked even more as he insisted he was fine and ready for the job

'I-I'm fine! I got up at 5 AM to do my "Chords of Steel" voice workout! I'm fine!'

'Ah, that explains it. I did detect a certain rasping quality to your screech.'

apolo coughed, ..he over did it again..

'As you know, your client today is a good friend of mine. I wouldn't want to let him down... if you get my drift'

this was the part apollo didn't like about his mentor, ..he had some sort of, ...wired underlined tone to his voice sometimes, he didn't know how to describe it, ..but then again, ..if mr wright picked him to take over his office, ..it was probably for a good reason, plus, kristoph was nice and welcoming to him, he had no reason to be warry of his mentor

'Drift gotten, sir! I-I'm all over that drift!'

'As it happens, I dined with him the night of the murder. We can't let this case fall through, One more thing. Don't say you're fine quite so much. People might take you the wrong way'

he warned him, not wanting for his employee to be taken advantaged of in court, apollo nodded as he gulped a bit, ...he just hoped his first trial would go well..

'I'll be preparing our case. You might want to introduce yourself to the client'

and with that, he walked into the courthouse, leaving apollo to himself for a short while, until he heard footsteps coming his way, ..when he turned his head to met his client, ..he was in awe, 

...phoenix wright..., the most terrifying defense attorney in the whole district, ..right before his own eyes


he looked as intimidating as they described him to be in the news, long sleeve dark blue shirt with two white strips around the sleeve, fingerless black gloves, black ripped up pants with  black combat boots, his silky raven black hair was still in spikes even though they looked more loosened, and the left side of his bangs were down, covering a little of his beautiful breath-taking eyes, they were like bright blue sapphire gems lost in the black waves of the ocean,  ..apollo won't lie... he was really good-looking, ..handsome even..

'Whoa!'

"..he's more intimating in person"

Apollo mumbled as he jumped a little bit, phoenix didn't say anything as he looked off to the side of the lobby, playing with his locket in his hand, ..apollo wasn't sure on what to say, ..so just greeted him a little nervously, ..he got to speak with the Phoenix Wright, the most terrifying defense attorney

'Good uh, morning!'

phoenix turned his head to him as he greeted him politely

''morning..'

that threw off Apollo a little bit, he was almost expecting him to just glare and not say anything else

"First trial: nervous. Meeting him: cardiac arrest"

it was a silent from their, apollo didn't know what else to say

'you're?-'

'Fine! I-I'm fine!'

he said very nervous and a little too loud, phoenix blinked at him once, then sighed as he said to him bluntly, but with a little nice in his tone of voice

'relax, if your like that in court, they'll eat you alive'

apollo did as told and took a little deep breathe, ..he did feel a bit better, ..when he looked up at phoenix, ..he decided to change the subject a bit, he's been meaning to ask him this for awhile

'um... Are you sure you're OK, I mean, with me?, Mr. Gavin is a top-notch defense attorney. And he's your friend!, plus, your still a lawyer, you can defend yourself So why-'

'you'll see'

was all he said, apollo didn't understand, ..in the re-trial of al-9, ..phoenix said he didn't trust lawyers, only himself, ...so why did he trust him to do the job?!, he was still a lawyer, even if he went into recovery he didn't quite his job, so why?!, seeing the confusion and nervousness in his eyes, ..phoenix reassured him on his skills

'you can do it, your a smart one, i can tell'

apollo had no words, ..he was just complimented by his own idol, ...he held back a blush as he stumbled on his words, ..he honestly felt really bad for mr wright for the position he was in

'Um, I... I'm really sorry this happened to you. I mean... I mean, I...'

'no point in saying sorry for something if it's not your fault, ..anyways, it's time, let's get inside'

he stated firmly, apollo nodded as he said with a little more certainly

'Y-Yes, sir'

and with that, they made their way inside of the courthouse, ..apollo noticed how phoenix held onto his locket before stepping inside of the courthouse
