Gratitude
Title: Gratitude

Pairings or characters involved: D
Notes: Now, most people have written about Thanksgiving the actual day, but I know very little about it, so I decided to cut my losses and not write about that. Hence the very odd little drabble you see here. I don't like it. It seemed all right, but the ending sucks.
“Thank you, your eminence.”
“Thank you, Great One.”
Gratitude never meant much to D. In the past, it was just another homage paid to his kind.
“Thank you so much Count.”
“Thank you Count. My Grandchildren will be thrilled.”
Now, it was simply good manners. Not really important until it was not given.
“Thanks for NOTHING!”
“Thanks for looking after Chris. (Get off my FOOT Chris...)”
People rarely said what they meant - he knew that better than anyone.
Perhaps that was why it was a relief to speak to the Detective sometimes. Even his most sarcastic thanks were genuine.
