[Good evening, Prospero! Phoenix is looking mighty proud of himself, holding up a small gold button-badge.]

Alright! As of today, I'm a defense attorney again! Whew, that took awhile.

[He takes a moment to pin it into place.]

There we go. Anyway, I was thinking. A little casual get-together might be pretty fun in the next couple weeks. I know a lot of us are working hard, but everybody needs a break sometime. Maybe we could do something like pool or bowling or something. Any ideas?

*Phoenix, your not!son looks like he hasn't had a decent night's sleep in weeks. Obviously he's either been keeping himself way too busy, has been having trouble sleeping or both.*

I could probably use a break once I finish what I'm working on right now. Gaignun's been teaching me to play pool, so I'd be interested in that.

Oh, that's good. Mostly I've been hearing people wanting something quiet to get together and do.

[Phoenix frowns and stares at Allen a bit.]

Though I'm thinking you should invest in a solid night's sleep.

I will once I get a chance to relax. I've been kind of busy lately.

Sometimes, you just have to make time. Better to take a few hours to rest than wind up in the hospital for a few days.

Don't worry, I know my limits. I've dealt with heavy work loads before.

*The thing he doesn't want to admit is that he's been having a lot of trouble with nightmares lately. Admitting to that would probably lead to talking about them, and they're things he doesn't want to think about.*
