"At the school? No, I've been there a few years now. At the law firm, yes, I've only been there ... three months, maybe? I was doing some work for one of the Hightown offices, but it didn't really suit me." Hawke shrugs, but his tone is more serious, with an edge of intensity. It lends him a charisma that all the jokes in the world can't really match. "I'm not going to University to learn how to help the wealthy get off on the crimes that have already been overlooked time and time again by the police. The people in Lowtown, well, they need help just a bit more, don't they? Abused by the system, falsely accused and imprisoned all the time for things that they can't possibly control - race, magical ability, all of that."
"Besides," he adds, face relaxing just a bit, back into that easily smile that lies so convincingly, Me, serious and passionate about something? No, of course not, why would you ever think that? "I've got atrocious manners, Mother's always said."
