There was also that, unfortunate, incident of him being fired from the Japanese Ministry for gambling on the job. That was pretty corrupt of them, wasn't it? "I'm afraid I do not know this Lord Borr," Ryoma said nodding his head in agreement. "But, I have not been a fan of the Ministry for more personal reasons." Then, Ryoma found himself a bit confused. Statue?! There was a statue somewhere in the Ministry? Ryoma wondered if it was like that muggle one in Odaiba that held a torch and book in her hands. Supposedly it was based on a much larger one somewhere in America. "My view? I think looking at it close up is best? It's a statue after all..."
He took another sip of his drink.
Good, good. He thought the Ministry was rubbish too. Good start. Nodding his head, Alex grabbed up a glass of something blue and sparkly and said, "
Isn't that the thing though... they MAKE it personal. Like you aren't good enough for them or something." He even pretended to be a bit outraged by something that may have happened to himself... Heh.
Wait... really?! "
STATUTE. Not statue. It is a rather old law put forth that keeps wizardkind from being able to even help Muggles that we could possibly do good for. It is what tells us that we cannot reveal our magic to the world. What do you feel about that, Ryoma?" Alex said in an inquisitive voice as he sipped the... whatever it was.
