Lawl.

Since there was nothing he could do, Oliver returned from the other dimension and decided to finally go to see a lawyer, to know what needs to be done about WonPil.
He takes an appointment with Johnny, since he has a reputation in the field.

Johnny works by himself and has an office in Sturm city.
The appointment was set for 5 pm of a very dark and cold Thursday. He waits by his desk, till the client shows up, perfectly punctual. Being them in Heinhoss, he is not used to people being late and it would have annoyed him quite a lot. He has a tight schedule.

They exchange some basic formalities and Johnny invites Oliver to sit.
«Mind if I record the meeting for my friend? He will want to hear too and couldn't make it due to very serious issues», says the client.
He fixes his shirt, by opening one button, and snorts. «Go ahead.»
Oliver takes his phone with confidence and starts the camera to record their conversation.
«So, what are your questions, Mr Kang?»
«What we need to know is… what we should do. On Earth, we found an auriold. We don't know for sure if he was born there, if he is half human or if he ended up there in other ways. He is clueless about magic and other worlds.»
«And how are you sure he is an auriold?»
«He has the chromic disease. Both hair and eyes.»
«That's characteristic of our species, ja.»
«We have taken him here, since we didn't know what else to do. On Earth, he was in a troubled situation and it wasn't wise for him to stay among the humans.»

«To begin with, I need to ask if you are completely certain that one of you wants to take responsibility for this lost soul you found. There won't be an easy way out if you say yes. You will acquire responsibility over the person and you will be expected to fullfil your duties, you will be checked and risk to be punished in case of negligence. This is no joke, you aren't taking a hamster pet, but an auriold being who will need to learn how to live in this society.»
«For now, let's just stick with the hypothetical scheme that we decide to take responsibility. We will discuss when my friend returns and see. We won't take a foolish decision.»

Johnny nods at his words. «The protocol in these cases is very rigid. He has to be reported to the special bureau and it will start an investigation. Now, you have three options, to begin with:
1 Hand this person to the Priests of Yoryon, so that they'll simply do everything and also decide where to locate the person;
2 Hire a lawyer, to take care of all the bureaucratic documentations and preliminary encounters, plus mediation and advising for the next stages;
3 Handle the matter yourselves, fill the documents, face the bureau alone.
All optimal options, depending on your possibilities and will to deal with the matter. One thing is for sure, if you want to keep the person with you, priests might not be the best option.»

«I'd avoid the priests as much as possible, I've had enough dealing with them on Earth. Let's say we hire you as lawyer for this case, what then?»
«Then, I will have to be communicated at least one name to take responsibility, to begin with. Since the matter is delicate, I would discourage from having joint liability, unless legally married. I will need some information about the person taking responsibility, in order to fill all the papers. Legal documents will also be needed.
Done that, I will send the practice to the bureau and the fun part will begin.»

«Fun part?»
Johnny curves his lips in a slight smirk. «At that point, I will need to hear the full story of how you came across this auriold, how and why you brought him here. And I will need to know all the truth, even if there is something illegal in the middle. Because they will start an investigation, in order to rule out the possibility that you could be human traffickers. Ja, I agree it's not very logical: if human traffickers accidentally acquired an unaware auriold, they certainly wouldn't take the bother to visit a lawyer and report him. But the law is the law, we follow procedures.» He shrugs.
«After hearing your story, we will do a good, healthy session of mentoring to learn what to say and what to absolutely-not-by-the-love-of-Ashiia say. Because the bureau will interrogate the person who will take responsibility. And also the unaware auriold, but I am not allowed to do any consultation with him. In cases like these, it's for the best to follow every rule without cheating, or we literally risk to turn something completely innocent into a mess.»

«Who would have thought that human traffickers were such a big deal here.»
«Not all auriold seem to find satisfaction from pleasure houses. Some need to feel the thrill of a terrified and unwilling, defenceless victim.»

«Kinky. What happens after the interrogations?»
«If everything goes smoothly, they will ask the fateful question: will you take responsibility? Are you sure that you want? Are you sure that you fully comprehend what this choice implies?
Then… it will mostly depend on the age of the unaware auriold, that I suppose you don't know either.»
Oliver shakes his head.
«The bureau will demand a thorough alchemical test. They will also get him medically tested, probably right before the interrogations. Don't beat him up before that, please? And make sure he doesn't go to get beaten or hurt, if his body doesn't show suspiciously fresh marks, everything will be easier.»

«What about the age? Once the alchemical test will give an answer.»
«If the unaware auriold is older than 21, the level of responsibility will be much reduced. A teacher will be sent for him, to give a base knowledge. Social services will also get involved, they'll help to insert him in the society, the work world and the terrestrial communities that could help him to adapt. As he would be old enough to be responsible for himself, the liable person would only have to ensure that he has a safe place where to stay, basically. Little more than that. If the unaware auriold goes out on his own without warning and freezes to death, it won't be your fault, but his own for acting like a dumb idiot despite being old enough to realise he shouldn't do that kind of stuff.»

«If he is underaged we'll be screwed, ain't it?»
«We don't joke over children, here, Mr Kang. If he is any younger than 20, he will need a legal guardian. Also known as an adoptive parent. At that point, the requirements for the person taking responsibility will also change, because the boy would have to be offered much more than just a room. Upon adoption, he will gain citizenship and will have to attend school. You will be fully responsible for him, like a parent for their child. Naturally, you wouldn't be forced to call him son and he won't be forced to call you father, but the legal duties of a guardian are the same as those of a biological parent.»
