Five years is an awfully long time to be playing hide-and-seek, but Bear Lawyer is nothing if not thorough—”leave no stone unturned,” etc.—and patient to a fault. Best to take care of old business before diving headfirst into the new.
Still, he could do without these magical-mystical crossings-over, seeing as they rarely end well for all parties concerned, and feel like low-hanging fruit besides. Might need to have a word with the Senior Partner about leaving his hobbies at home.
Wait… low-hanging fruit… wasn’t there a suspicious trio of apple trees over yonder…?
