Hawke and Beckett
"My parents were lawyers," Kate said with a chuckle, swirling the contents of her glass around with a slight twist of her wrist. "But you're right about the legal jargon. They'd use it sometimes around the dinner table when I was a kid and it drove me crazy until I was old enough to ask them what they meant. But they were good people, both of them started careers in law in help others, which I've always been absurdly proud of."

Mostly because Marian did have a point. There were plenty of lawyers out there who were only in it to get rich or flash around how much smarter they were than everyone else, so for Kate to know that she had two parents in the profession who truly wanted to do good had always been a happy thought.

And part of the reason she had considered going to law school herself. "I thought about going to law school, too," she said after a moment, figuring there was no reason not to finish the story for her companion, "Became a cop instead. But I am sorry you went through that, it sounds awful."

Kate meant it, too. Just from the way Marian's voice changed it was obvious that there was a history in the story, and not a happy one.

Pushing that thought away, she grinned at her description of Fenris, imagining some burly looking guy with dark hair and a perpetual scowl, stomping around annoyed at his wife. "If that were me, I'd have probably played innocent, just to annoy him more." In fact, Kate couldn't even count the number of times she'd done just that. Winding Castle up was one of her favorite pastimes.
