[Law scoffs, but it's half-hearted at best.] The older couples have us beat. The only thing cool about us is our job. [Okay, that's not quite how he meant to say it, but if he goes back to correct it he'll just feel awkward. Besides, Rosinante brought up the couple comparison first.

He doesn't dislike the idea, though. And that hits him hard, weighing on him in a sort of confusing seriousness that he's unused to. It's not the time for this, it's not the place for this, but there's a part of Law that's distinctly pleased at the comparison in some weird way despite the sheer awkwardness of it.

He tries to push it aside and not think about it. And even if he didn't attempt to, all of the thoughts along that line would cease at the guessing game portion of the drive anyway.

There's usually a conversation like this while they're working, in some form or another.]
We've heard of technology being used by the dead in the past. So why not demons? [He frowns, looking out the window again at the identical line of trees in the distance.] I wouldn't even think it was paranormal if it wasn't for how strange it is out here. I can think of a couple of ways this could be faked, but nothing explains the silence.

[Demons scare Law, more than a little. Not that he's ever faced one, personally, but if human evil is so awful and powerful, what can a being like that be capable of?] Have you dealt with anything truly demonic, Rosinante-ya?
