Your POV
"Shall we begin? The TrollHunter is on trial for choosing to go into the Darklands, allowing the release of Gunmar the Black. James Lake, Jr. has admitted responsibility for his actions. What say you of the charges?" Usurna asked.

"We'll fight the charge!" Blinky yelled.

"Once convicted, the TrollHunter will be sentence to exile in the Deep." Usurna stated and we looked at Blinky and Aaarrrgghh.

"What's the Deep?" Toby asked.

"A place of unknown madness. No one exactly knows what resides at the bottom of the Deep, because no troll has ever returned from it." Blinky answered.

"What do I do?" Jim whispered.

"Shall we begin?" Usurna asked sternly.

"One moment, if you please. You cannot fight these allegations." Blinky said as he turned back around to face Jim.

"I have to. Merlin visited new in a sorta dream. And he wants me to fight." Jim replied and Blinky gasped.

"Merlin?" Aaarrrgghh asked.

"Visited in a "sorta dream"? I believe you!" Blinky chuckled.

"Really?" Jim asked.

"I believe you've finally cracked!" Blinky rephrased.

"So much for having you represent me." Jim said as he stood up.

"Unfortunately, TrollHunter, troll law states that the accused may only be represented by his own tribe." Vendel said and the others agreed.

"But these children don't know the slightest about Troll law." Blinky defended as he put a hand on Toby and I's shoulder.

"Be that as it may, the rules are quite clear on this matter. Only a human may speak for the accused." Usurna said and we sighed.

"Give is a minute to talk it over?" Jim asked.

"Hm. Very well." Usurna replied.

"Okay, we can do this. (Y/n)." Jim said and my eyes widened.

"Nah-uh. I don't know anything about law. Let alone Troll law." I said as I put my hands up.

"Its not as hard as it looks. All you gotta do is walk around like you own the place and throw around fancy words like, subpoena! Hearsay! Redirect! Res ipsa loquitur! Nolo contendere!" Toby said as he pointed around.

"Fancy." Aaarrrgghh conplimented.

"How did that metal mouth of yours just manage to garble out all those exquisite words?" Blinky asked.

"Eh, I've watched every episode of Mistrial and Error with my nana. Also Mistrial and Error: New Orleans, Mistrial and Error: Judy Duty, oh, and Mistrial and Error: Try, Try Again." Toby answered.

"Your time is up. Have you made a decision on who will represent you?" Usurna asked.

"We have. Toby Domzalski." Jim answered and Toby's eyes widened.
