[He knows that pride can have an affect on your decision. It's sometimes all someone has, and he can definitely see why Apollo would cling to it so fiercely. With how he's usually treated in the courtroom to his life at the PWAA, it's no wonder that he wants to keep hold of whatever he can safely say he 'earned'.

But it does hamper his attempt to genuinely help out the man, he thinks with some amusement. Who'd have thought just wanting to live with your boyfriend would be such a silly 'arguement', if you could even call it that. It's endearing, and despite the sadness behind that smile, he knows he wouldn't be Apollo Justice if Klavier didn't have to fight for it.

Just like in court...and in every other part of his life. He welcomed the man's pride, his faults, his stubbornness as much as he welcomed his love and devotion.]

Freeloading's such an awful term to use, Herr Forehead.

[His voice can't hide the chuckle, bringing him slightly closer and looking up at him with those blue eyes.]

If you truly want to pay rent, I guess we could work something out that's affordable for you. Pay what you can and could still live on, ja?

That seems fair to me, baby.
