"There's a lot of ways things are rough here, but we get by. Make no mistake, I'm gettin' by just fine, too."
And discussing his finances too deeply with a stranger seemed like it'd be a case of giving out far too many details, so Apollo was glad for the change in topic... even if it was plenty unexpected. The number of people that had asked him such a question was... one, and that was back when Deputy Gavin had given him the interview for the job. He very much doubted that Mr. Yomiel would offer him a job, so where'd that curiosity come from?
"Well, sure, I've been 'round this city as long as I can remember. As for goin' into law..."
Having never seen him before this meeting, Apollo had to figure that the other man's chances of being a local were slim to none. The city might've been growing by the day, but Apollo's sure he's been around long enough to tell the permanent ones from the drifters. So in that case, it seemed it'd be safe to tell him more of the truth. Not everyone knew that Phoenix Wright was now a drunk and a gambler, but the permanent fixtures did, which was why the way he'd told it to Deputy Gavin had been in a much more vague and general manner.
"When I was still growin' up, the law here was downright talented - and the best of 'em was Deputy Phoenix Wright! That man was a real legend. He single-handedly unraveled the schemes of upwards of thirteen of the Los Angeles' most notorious criminals! Him and that Indian girl that always followed 'im around. ... So he was a real inspiration to me, you could say."
With that, Apollo scratches the back of his neck with a smile that's edging towards embarrassment. It had been a long time since he'd gotten to gush about Deputy Wright, and he wasn't too sure he didn't sound like a moron.
