[The colour drains from both Klavier's face and his world at that comment, a cold numbness setting into his very bones and brain. It's as if Apollo's body language changed on a dime, going from fragile, but affectionate to stoic and frigid. It wasn't a look he'd ever seen on the man, and for a moment, his viciously tears through his statement as if he were listening to himself on the witness stand, wondering just what he said that had caused him to change like that. Blue eyes turn worried, even frightened when he can't find anything. There was nothing in his words that would suggest--
He's laughing. A dark, depressing, laugh accompanied by tears streaming down his face, retreading just where that rag had wiped them away. He's confused, and it shows in the way his body practically crumples. Was there something funny about what he said? Was it just a joke to him?
Did...Apollo really think that just because he was the prosecution, or a "glimmerous fop" that he couldn't see him as a friend? His fears are all but confirmed in two words:
"Don't lie"
Pain grips his heart, icing his blood right in his veins as he steadies his breathing. Calm and collective must run in the Gavin family, because he's able to keep his cool rather well in the face of this. Not that he doesn't want to scream or throw a fit...and his face certainly shows the shock and horror that Kristoph would often hide behind a stonewalled face. Brows furrow, and his bangs fall over his eyes.
Apollo still couldn't trust him.
Tears want to well up in his own eyes, but they're fiercely bat back. Years of being on stage, years of pulling two jobs and barely sleeping and tours and cases you often question your own judgement on make you able to hold your tears until you're alone.

But this was by far the hardest.]
I'm here on my own accord, Apollo Justice.
Do you really think I'm lying about that?
