7th Buttle

[big_bad_butler]

As much as I love what I do and would never imagine doing anything better with my life...  I still wonder what it would be like to have a normal life, normal social interactions, friends that I could talk with...  In the end I think it's best I really don't know what I'm missing though.

Didn't you have a choice?

I did, but I couldn't imagine doing anything else but policework.

[big_bad_butler]

I suppose that technically, I did. But in reality, no. But I don't regret that.

[captainshort]

You've done an excellent job so far, big guy. I'm glad you don't regret it.

[big_bad_butler]

I'm glad you think so, Captain Short. It's the only life I've known and I can't really imagine it any other way.

[captainshort]

The same for me. And honestly, Butler, call me Holly. You might not know me for as long as I've known you because of the City, but still.

[big_bad_butler]

I'll try, but it might take me a while to get used to it. Apparently my future self develops some socials skills that I just don't have yet.

[captainshort]

I'll say. You didn't mind the hugs so much then.

[big_bad_butler]

...

You're joking.

[captainshort]

Would I joke about something like that? ... Never mind, don't answer.

No, I'm not kidding. In fact, when I met you and Artemis in Sicily, you requested a "real hello" before we "got into negotiations."

[big_bad_butler]

That's...

Very interesting.

I think that makes me happy.

[captainshort]

Does it? We really did get past the awkwardness of you two having kidnapped me, you know.

[big_bad_butler]

I've never felt very awkward about it, Cap- Holly. I'm not so sure that Trouble sees it that way...

[captainshort]

... what about Trouble?

[big_bad_butler]

I don't think he likes being reminded that I beat he and his team so soundly.

[captainshort]

Right. Of course. Well, you did have fairy technology and a height advantage, Butler.

[big_bad_butler]

You all had fairy technology, magic, and an advantage in numbers. The difference was that I had Artemis.
