To prove that it is possible:

Thank you, Rosiel.

♥

[dark_butler]

I do remember my manners.

[one_of_heaven]

...then perhaps an expression of gratitude is best owed to the original benefactor as well ~ ♥ ~ I'm quite certain he'd appreciate what's become of his gift.

[dark_butler]

I have expressions in mind.

[one_of_heaven]

...don't forget your wires courtesies.

[dark_butler]

I never forget them. I just choose when to use them.

[one_of_heaven]

Oh good. I should hate to think that dearest TIB-sama would ever have to suffer without all of our wishes for the best. So many things to thank him for, after all. So very many ~ ♥

[dark_butler]

Apparently my use of "thank you" has blown the subtlety right out of your head.

[one_of_heaven]

Perhaps.

Civility is such a precious thing, when the source so contrary.

[dark_butler]

You could tell yourself that, much like praise, it loses its meaning when overused.

[one_of_heaven]

...you smoke too much.

[dark_butler]

Making up for years of abstinence. Not that your opinion changes anything.

[one_of_heaven]

Of course it doesn't.

Now if only you were the nicer, on occasion...

[dark_butler]

And give you illusions that would let you crow about having me as a minion?

Tsk. I am doing you a favor, keeping things honest between us.
