[There's actually Science behind the colors, but it may not be worth the ensuing conversation. Depends on how much Nicolas gives a rat fart about fish and their special eyes and how colors are different underwater.]

I wouldn't worry about it, if I were you. Nobody's ever gonna agree on anything, much less how certain issues should be settled in this place. [It's not like people hadn't far worse than Nicolas and gotten off just the same, after all. Shit happens. Will doesn't seem bothered by any of this, now leaning across the counter with his hands loosely clasping each other.] I like to be hands off with this process. Done me fine the last time I went through it. You're an adult. I feel that's fair. I'll expect you to manage your own curfew, being out past it only for emergencies or situations you couldn't have predicted. Torrential downpour, for instance. But if something like that does happen, you can call me and I'll give you a ride wherever you need to go. That's not, that's not a problem. I'm here for you when you need me. Now, if you can check in daily, just a text or call, that's great. If you get busy and time slips away...I'm not a stickler about. That. [It just sounded better when he was possibly being monitored by Nicolas' guards to be matter-of-fact instead of slightly cool probation officer.] Don't buy anything you aren't supposed to, don't be out when you're not supposed to, don't do anything big you're not supposed to do...and this should be a relatively painless two months.

[He looks up, hands moving outward in place of a shrug. Relatively painless is what they both want, right? He hopes so.]

Sound good to you? Questions?

[ Nicolas cares about fish that have been fried and that would be about it, unfortunately. Instead of asking, he'll settle into listening to Will after finding a spot against the counter to lean. He nods, filing away the information bit by bit. For the most part, none of this should be a problem, but--

On one point, he does grimace at asking about it, but it can't be helped. ]

It does, only, the curfew. My job does not keep regular hours and as I have not been dismissed... [ Surprisingly, to him. ] Am I allowed to continue working? Or do I take a leave for the next two months?

[Well. That's a bit of a situation, isn't it? Will runs a hand over his chin, thinking this through.]

As far as I know, curfew's only waved for the Swear-Ins. And other government functions. That sort of thing. [But, hell, even kids get leniency with driving if it's to or from work. Kids. His hand drops back to the counter.] Are there Registered ImPorts where you work? If they...were with you, drove you home or. Walked you there. I'd think that would be a good compromise. Unless you'd want me to do that, I don't mind. Shop closes pretty early and my other job is basically over at sundown.

There are a few. That could... if that would be acceptable, I would make it work.

[ Although how much the other Dendarii are up to babysitting on the job isn't really something he's sure of. Looks like it's time to find out. ]

It shouldn't come to bothering you.

I find it acceptable. Anybody doesn't, then I'll be honest and tell them I approved it and take whatever heat comes. Guy's gotta work. Can't be rehabilitated without it.

[A shrug. He isn't particularly scared of the government, go figure.]

[ Nicolas takes a second or two, trying to find sarcasm, any at all, in Will's words, but it just isn't there. He actually thinks that. Acceptable. ]

Good to know. [ And there's some relief in his voice, some of the tension leaving his back and shoulders that had been there from the moment he first strolled in. ] I would much rather keep busy, even powerless like this.

That's good. The government should rather you keep busy, too. [Because bored criminals become SUPER CRIMINALS it is known. Will stands back up properly, one hand moving to the small of his back. Ah, age.] Is there anything you think I should know about? People who've got issues with you? Aside from the obvious.

[Sexy vampire alien fashionistas.]

Well, there is the devil, but most people have issues with that one.

[ Something he'll say lightly. It isn't really a joke, since it's true, but he doesn't expect it to cause a problem at this point. ]

Other than that and vampires, though, I don't really go out of my way to pick fights...

Yeah. [He almost laughs, more huff than anything. Clearly he doesn't find issue with the devil appalling.] He's a little overrated, if you ask me.

[Will doesn't expect problems, either, apparently.]

Good to hear. If it changes, let me know. Probation is a process. Anybody who'd gun to make it more difficult for you needs to be taken into account.

[Maybe Will is a little paranoid when it comes to people getting framed for shit they didn't do. Maybe meaning he absolutely is and expects it from some of the unstable bunch around here. Throwing up an ear puts a man in a mindset to always expect the Worst Possible Outcome Ever.]
